Circulatory System and Blood Pressure

Which chamber of the heart receives deoxygenated blood from the body?

• Left ventricle
• Left atrium
• Right atrium
• Right ventricle

The aortic valve is located between the:

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

Which artery branches off from the axillary artery and runs down the upper arm?

• Ulnar artery
• Radial artery
• Brachial artery
• Subclavian artery

The mitral valve is also known as the:

• Tricuspid valve
• Pulmonary valve
• Aortic valve
• Bicuspid valve

Blood pressure reading of \(120/80\) mmHg represents:

• Diastolic/systolic pressure
• Mean arterial pressure
• Systolic/diastolic pressure
• Pulse pressure

The jugular vein is responsible for:

• Carrying blood to the legs
• Delivering blood to the brain
• Returning blood from the head
• Supplying blood to the heart

The popliteal artery is located:

• Behind the knee
• In the upper arm
• Near the wrist
• In the neck

Which vessel carries blood away from the heart to the rest of the body?

• Pulmonary artery
• Superior vena cava
• Aorta
• Jugular vein

The radial artery is commonly used to:

• Measure blood sugar
• Take blood pressure
• Draw blood samples
• Check pulse rate

The left ventricle:

• Pumps blood to the lungs
• Receives blood from the lungs
• Pumps blood to the body
• Receives blood from the body
