What is the primary function of pulmonary circulation?
To move blood from the heart to the brain and back
To move blood from the heart to the lungs and then back to the heart
To move blood from the heart to the liver and then back to the heart
To move blood from the heart to the kidneys and then back to the heart
What does pulmonary circulation ensure about the blood?
It ensures that oxygenated blood is filtered before reaching the body
It ensures that unfiltered blood reaches the liver for detoxification
It ensures that unfiltered blood is sent to the kidneys for purification
It ensures that unoxygenated blood is oxygenated to be sent through the body
Which vessels are used in pulmonary circulation to transport blood to the lungs?

Arteries and arterioles
What is the function of venules in the circulatory system?
They carry oxygenated blood to the heart.
They connect capillaries to veins.
They are the primary site of nutrient exchange.

Hepatic veins
What is the function of veins?
Carry oxygenated blood away from the heart
Carry deoxygenated blood toward the heart to remove waste from body tissues
Transport nutrients to the heart
Regulate blood pressure
Compared to arteries, veins are:
Thicker and more elastic

Femoral artery
Which artery is the only one that carries deoxygenated blood?
Aorta
Pulmonary arteries
Carotid arteries
Coronary arteries
What is the function of arteries?
Carry deoxygenated blood to the heart
Carry oxygenated blood away from the heart
Regulate body temperature
Transport waste products to the kidneys
Compared to veins, arteries are:
Thinner and weaker
Thicker and stronger
Identical in structure
More permeable to gases
What is the significance of the smaller lumen in arteries?
It allows for the exchange of gases in the lungs
It helps maintain blood pressure
It transports waste products more efficiently
It reduces the speed of blood flow
What is the function of arterioles in the circulatory system?
They carry blood away from the heart at high speed.
They are essential for slowing blood flow.
They transport blood directly to the lungs.
They prevent blood from reaching the capillaries.
