- Q1
What is the heart’s primary pacemaker?
The sinoatrial (SA) node
The sympathetic nervous system
The Purkinje fibers
The atrioventricular (AV) node
30s - Q2
How does the myocardium receive its blood supply?
It receives its blood through the right and left coronary arteries.
It receives its blood through the coronary sinus.
It receives its supply of blood from the left ventricle.
It doesn’t require any additional blood other than what flows through the chambers.
30s - Q3
The innermost layer of blood vessels is composed of what type of material?
Smooth muscle
Elastic tissue
Connective tissue
Simple squamous epithelium
30s - Q4
What is the purpose of the valves in veins?
Aid in the pumping of blood
Aid in the redirection of blood flow
Prevent the backflow of blood
Keep oxygenated blood from mixing with unoxygenated blood
30s - Q5
What are the exchange vessels of the circulatory system, where nutrients, wastes, and hormones are transferred between blood and tissues?
Venules
Arterioles
Veins
Capillaries
30s - Q6
The most important mechanism for capillary exchange is
colloid osmotic pressure
diffusion
filtration
gravity
30s - Q7
The tricuspid valve is located between the
left ventricle and pulmonary artery
right atrium and left atrium
right atrium and
right ventricle
right ventricle and the pulmonary trunk
30s - Q8
Which one is the correct sequence going from the outermost to
the innermost layer of a blood vessel wall?
tunica externa, tunica media, tunica intima
tunica intima, tunica media, tunica externa
tunica externa, tunica intima, tunica media
tunica media, tunica intima, tunica externa
30s - Q9
The thick layer of the heart wall that contains
contractile cardiac muscle tissue is the:
endocardium
parietal pericardium
visceral pericardium
myocardium
30s - Q10
The volume of blood pumped out by each ventricle with each
beat of the heart is called the
heart rate
diastolic pressure
stroke volume
cardiac output
30s - Q11
Veins:
branch into smaller vessels called arterioles
often have valves to prevent the backflow of blood
carry blood away from the heart
transport oxygen-rich blood all the time
30s - Q12
In which one of the following blood vessels is blood pressure the
highest?
vena cava
arterioles
capillaries
arteries
30s - Q13
What is the name of the great vessels that delivers blood to the right atrium?
Pulmonary veins
Superior and inferior vena cavae
Aortas
Pulmonary arteries
30s - Q14
The sinoatrial node is located in the
right atrium
left atrium
right ventricle
aorta
30s - Q15
The path of blood flow within the systemic vascular system is:
arteries, arterioles, capillary beds, veins, venules
arterioles, arteries, capillary beds, veins, venules
