1E - Prove Mastery Cardiovascular

The tricuspid valve is located between the:

• right atrium and left atrium
• right atrium and right ventricle
• left ventricle and pulmonary artery
• left ventricle and aorta

Venous blood flow is heavily dependent on:

• pumping action of the heart
• skeletal muscle contractions and changes in thoracic pressure due to breathing
• contraction of the vessels themselves
• none of the above is correct

Blood flowing in the pulmonary veins is:

• deoxygenated and going to the lungs
• oxygenated and going to the heart
• deoxygenated and going to the heart
• oxygenated and going to the lungs

The bicuspid (mitral) valve prevents blood from flowing from the:

• right ventricle to the right atrium
• left ventricle to the left atrium
• right atrium to the left atrium
• left atrium to the right atrium

The bicuspid (mitral) valve is indicated by the letter __:

• D
• K

The right ventricle is indicated by the letter__:

• D
• E
• J
• L

The interventricular septum is indicated by the letter__:

• H

The path of blood flow within the systemic vascular system is:

• arterioles, arteries, capillary beds, venules, veins
• arteries, arterioles, capillary beds, venules, veins
• arterioles, arteries, capillary beds, veins, venules
• arterioles, arteries, venules, veins, capillary beds

In which of the following blood vessels is blood pressure the highest?

• veins
• arteries
• capillaries
• vena cava

Blood within the pulmonary veins returns to the:

• right atrium
• left atrium
• right ventricle
• left ventricle
