Cardiovascular System

The valve located between the atrium and ventricle on the right side of the heart is known as

• Tricuspid Valve

• Aortic Semilunar Valve

• Mitral Valve

• Pulmonary Semilunar Valve

The Superior Vena Cava empties:

• oxygenated blood into the left atrium

• oxygenated blood into the left ventricle

• deoxygenated blood into the right atrium

• deoxygenated blood into the right ventricle

The heart, like any other organ requires oxygen and nutrients from blood. How does the heart receive these required nutrients?

• Nutrients are absorbed from the blood flowing inside of the heart

• Coronary arteries the extend from the aorta supply the heart with oxygen rich blood

• Excess oxygen leaks out of the lungs and into the heart.

• The pericardium supplies the heart with the nutrients it needs

Blood coming from the head and arms will empty into the

• inferior vena cava

• superior vena cava

• aorta

• left ventricle

Veins:

• transport blood toward the heart

• transport only oxygen rich blood

• transport only oxygen poor blood

• transport blood away from the heart.

Arteries of the pulmonary circuit (pulmonary arteries):

• transport oxygenated blood to the lungs

• transport blood rich in carbon dioxide to the heart.

• transport deoxygenated blood to the lungs

• transport blood to the rest of the body

Which area of the heart receives blood from veins in the systemic circuit?

• right ventricle

• left ventricle

• aorta

• right atrium

Which one of the following blood vessels carries oxygenated blood:

• superior vena cava

• pulmonary artery

• pulmonary vein

• inferior vena cava

Hypertension is

• prolonged high blood pressure

• related to age and gender

• more frequent in people who are overweight

• all answers are related to hypertension

In order for the heart to fill with blood, it's muscles must relax. This relaxation of the heart muscles is called

• systole

• fibrillation

• diastole

• a murmur
