• lungs

• brain

• liver

• kidneys

What does Systemic Circulation do? Fill in the blank: Systemic Circulation distributes oxygen-rich blood to the _______.

• heart

• lungs

• brain

• muscles

The function of the 'Tricuspid Valve' in the heart is to:

• allow blood flow from the right atrium to the right ventricle

• prevent blood from flowing back into the right atrium

• regulate blood pressure in the heart

• control the heart rate

The function of the superior vena cava in the blood flow through the heart is to:

• carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart

• carry deoxygenated blood from the body to the heart

• pump blood out of the heart to the rest of the body

• regulate the heartbeat

Which valve is located between the right atrium and the right ventricle?

• Tricuspid valve

• Mitral valve

• Aortic valve

• Pulmonary valve

What type of blood does the pulmonary artery carry?

• Oxygenated blood

• Deoxygenated blood

• Mixed blood

• Nutrient-rich blood

Which chamber of the heart receives oxygenated blood from the lungs?

• The left atrium.

• The right atrium.

• The left ventricle.

• The right ventricle.

The role of the aortic valve in the heart is to:

• regulate blood flow from the left ventricle to the aorta

• control the flow of blood from the right atrium to the right ventricle

• prevent backflow of blood into the left atrium

• facilitate oxygen exchange in the lungs

Which of the following carries deoxygenated blood?

• Pulmonary veins

• Aorta

• Superior vena cava

• Left atrium
