This artery is the only artery in the body to carry deoxygenated blood:
Aorta
Pulmonary Artery
Coronary Arteries
Hepatic Arteries
Oxygenated blood from the lungs re-enters this chamber:
Right atrium
Right ventricle
Left atrium
Left ventricle
This side of the heart pumps oxygenated blood:
Right side
Left side
Both sides
Neither side
Deoxygenated blood travels from the right atrium to the right ventricle through this valve:
Mitral Valve
Aortic Valve
Pulmonary Valve
Tricuspid Valve
This valve allows the passage of blood from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery:
Tricuspid Valve
Mitral Valve
Aortic Valve
Pulmonary Valve
This structure prevents the backwards movement of blood:
Ventricle
Valve
Atrium
Vein
The only veins in the body that carry oxygenated blood are the:
Vena Cava
Pulmonary Veins
Pulmonary Arteries
Venules
The chordae tendineae prevent the prolapse of:

The pulmonary valve
The atrioventricular valves
The semi-lunar valves
The semi-lunar valves include:

Oxygenated
Deoxygenated
Contraction of the heart ventricles is known as:
Blood pressure
Systole
Diastole
Myocardial infarction
During systole, the AV (atrioventricular valves) are:
Open
Closed
Semi-lunar valves are closed during:
Systole
Diastole
What is the correct path through the circulatory system which describes the passage of a blood clot originating in the left leg?
Vena cava → left atrium → left ventricle → lungs → right atrium → right ventricle → aorta
Vena cava → right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle → aorta
Vena cava → left atrium → right atrium → lungs → left ventricle → right ventricle → aorta
Vena cava → right atrium → left atrium → lungs → right ventricle → left ventricle → aorta
What divides the left side of the heart from the left side?
Atrium
Ventricles
Wall
Septum
What physical feature of large systemic arteries (resistance vessels) makes them relatively more responsive to changes in intracellular calcium concentrations?
Thick tunica media
Absent tunica media
Thick tunica intima
Absent tunica intima
Rank the following blood vessels in order of their average pressure, from highest to lowest: artery, vein, arteriole, venule, aorta, capillary.
Capillary > arteriole > venule > artery > vein > aorta
Capillary > vein > venule > arteriole > artery > aorta
Aorta > arteriole > venule > artery > vein > capillary
Aorta > artery > arteriole > capillary > venule > vein
How can the circulatory system promote heat retention/conservation, such as on a cold day?
Vasoconstriction
Vasodilation
Decreasing tunica media contraction
Increasing capillary surface area
A tiny blood vessel that allows for exchange between the blood and cells in the tissues in the body is called a
Blood vessel
Vein
Capillary
Artery

What do red blood cells do?
Carry oxygen from the lungs to the body cells and transport carbon dioxide from the cells back to the lungs
Collects blood from the capillaries and drain it into the veins
Keeps blood flowing in one direction to the heart and prevent blood from flowing backwards
Bring nutrients to the cells and carries away waste materials
