Total questions: 35
Worksheet time: 45mins
Which chamber of the heart has the thickest wall?
Which valve prevents the backflow of blood from the left ventricle to the left atrium?
Tricuspid valve
Pulmonary valve
Aortic valve
Bicuspid (mitral) valve
What is the function of the sinoatrial (SA) node in the heart?
To pump oxygenated blood to the lungs
To act as the heart’s pacemaker, generating electrical impulses
To prevent blood backflow into the ventricles
To pump deoxygenated blood to the left atrium
What is the function of the sinoatrial (SA) node in the heart?
To pump oxygenated blood to the lungs
To act as the heart’s pacemaker, generating electrical impulses
To prevent blood backflow into the ventricles
To pump deoxygenated blood to the left atrium
Which vessel carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart?
Aorta
Pulmonary vein
Pulmonary artery
Vena cava
Which statement about the regulation of heart rate is correct?
An increase in blood pH will cause the heart rate to increase
The cardioacceleratory center in the medulla oblongata reduces heart rate
The vagus nerve releases acetylcholine to decrease heart rate
The sympathetic nervous system decreases the heart rate
The right atrium receives (a) blood from the body via the vena cava.
The (a) valve prevents backflow of blood from the right ventricle to the right atrium.
Match the following
Pumps oxygenated blood to the whole body
Left ventricles
Prevents backflow of blood into the atria
AV Valves
Carries oxygenated blood from lungs to heart
Pulmonary veins
Delivers deoxygenated blood to the lungs
Pulmonary arteries
Largest artery in the body
Aorta
Describe the sequence of the cardiac cycle, including the changes in pressure and valve movements.
Atrial Systole (0.1 sec): (a) contract, increasing atrial pressure, pushing blood into (b) . AV valves are open, and semilunar valves remain closed.
• Ventricular Systole (0.3 sec): Ventricles (c) , increasing ventricular pressure, closing (d) valves (“lub” sound) and opening semilunar valves. Blood is pumped into the pulmonary artery and aorta.
• Atrial and Ventricular Diastole (0.4 sec): Both atria and ventricles (e) , allowing blood to fill the atria from the veins. Semilunar valves close (“dup” sound) to prevent backflow.
Identify the major chambers of the heart and blood vessels
What is the function of the sinoatrial (SA) node in the heart?
To pump oxygenated blood to the lungs
To act as the heart’s pacemaker, generating electrical impulses
To prevent blood backflow into the ventricles
To pump deoxygenated blood to the left atrium
Which label is representing the Bundle of His?
A
C
D
E
Identify the major chambers of the heart and blood vessels
Explain why the left ventricle has a thicker muscular wall compared to the right ventricle.
The left ventricle has to pump (a) blood to the (b) body through the systemic circulation, which requires a stronger (c) . In contrast, the right ventricle only pumps blood to the nearby (d) , which requires less force.
Match the following
Pumps oxygenated blood to the whole body
Left ventricles
Prevents backflow of blood into the atria

Why is the left ventricular wall so much thicker than the right ventricular wall?
Blood from the right side is being pushed so much farther
Blood from the left side is not being pushed as far
It's not, it's the same thickness
Blood from the left side is being pushed so much farther
