When the ventricles (main pumping chambers) relax and fill up
- C.
When the atria contract
- D.
When the atria relax and fill up
Correct Answer
A. When the ventricles (main pumping chambers) contractExplanation
When the ventricles (main pumping chambers) contract, the heart goes through systole. During systole, the ventricles forcefully pump blood out of the heart and into the arteries. This is an important phase of the cardiac cycle as it allows for the circulation of oxygenated blood to the rest of the body.Rate this question:

- B.
The ventricles contract
- C.
The atria contract
- D.
The atria relax and fill up with blood
- E.
A heart diet
Correct Answer
A. The ventricles relax and fill up with bloodExplanation
During diastole, the ventricles of the heart relax, allowing them to expand and fill up with blood. This phase occurs after the ventricles have pumped blood out to the rest of the body during systole. The relaxation of the ventricles allows them to refill with oxygenated blood from the atria, preparing them for the next contraction. This process ensures a continuous flow of blood throughout the body and is essential for proper heart function.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
C. Right atriumExplanation
The vena cava is a large vein that carries deoxygenated blood from the body back to the heart. It has two main branches, the superior vena cava and the inferior vena cava. The superior vena cava brings deoxygenated blood from the upper body, while the inferior vena cava brings deoxygenated blood from the lower body. Both of these veins empty into the right atrium of the heart. Therefore, the correct answer is right atrium.Rate this question:

- A.
Septum
- B.
Left atria
- C.
Right atria
- D.
Left ventricle
- E.
Right ventricle
Correct Answer
E. Right ventricleExplanation
When blood enters the right atrium, it falls into the right ventricle because the tricuspid valve is open. The tricuspid valve is located between the right atrium and right ventricle, and when it is open, it allows blood to flow from the atrium into the ventricle. This is part of the normal flow of blood through the heart, as the right ventricle pumps the blood to the lungs to be oxygenated.Rate this question:

- D.
Goes to the nose
Correct Answer
B. Goes in the right vena cava, right atria, right ventricleExplanation
In the circulatory system, deoxygenated blood is pumped from the right ventricle of the heart into the pulmonary arteries, which carry it to the lungs for oxygenation. After being oxygenated in the lungs, the blood returns to the heart through the pulmonary veins and enters the left atria and then the left ventricle before being pumped out to the rest of the body.Rate this question:

The lub sound of the heart is
- A.
The tricuspid valve closing
- B.
The tricuspid valve opening
- C.
Semilunar valve closing
- D.
Semilunar valve opening
Correct Answer
A. The tricuspid valve closingExplanation
The lub sound of the heart is caused by the tricuspid valve closing. This valve is located between the right atrium and right ventricle of the heart. When the ventricles contract, the tricuspid valve closes to prevent blood from flowing back into the atrium. This closure creates a sound that can be heard as the lub sound during a heartbeat.Rate this question:

The dub sound of the heart is
- A.
Semilunar valve closing
- B.
Semilunar valve opening
- C.
Tricuspid valve closing
- D.
Tricuspid valve opening
- E.
None
Correct Answer
A. Semilunar valve closingExplanation
The correct answer is semilunar valve closing. The dub sound of the heart is produced when the semilunar valves, which are located between the ventricles and the major arteries leaving the heart, close. This closure prevents the backflow of blood into the ventricles and ensures that blood flows in one direction. The closing of the semilunar valves creates a distinct sound that can be heard during a cardiac examination.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Voluntary controlExplanation
The heart is primarily regulated by the autonomic nervous system and the endocrine system. The autonomic nervous system controls the heart rate and rhythm, while the endocrine system releases hormones like adrenaline during stress, which can affect heart function. Physical factors such as body temperature can also influence heart rate. However, voluntary control, or conscious control over the heart rate, is not a common way to regulate the heart.Rate this question:

Path of blood through the body
- A.
Oxygenated blood exits the heart, moves through major arteries, subdivides into smaller arteries, blood enters the capillary network and oxygen is delivered to body tissues and becomes deoxygenated, blood enters venules of a venous system, blood drains to major veins and returns to the heart
- B.
No
Correct Answer
A. Oxygenated blood exits the heart, moves through major arteries, subdivides into smaller arteries, blood enters the capillary network and oxygen is delivered to body tissues and becomes deoxygenated, blood enters venules of a venous system, blood drains to major veins and returns to the heartExplanation
This answer correctly describes the path of blood through the body. It starts with oxygenated blood leaving the heart and moving through major arteries. It then subdivides into smaller arteries before entering the capillary network where oxygen is delivered to body tissues and the blood becomes deoxygenated. The deoxygenated blood then enters venules of a venous system and eventually drains into major veins, which return the blood back to the heart.Rate this question:

Arteries are all except
- A.
Blood travels away from the heart
- B.
No valves
- C.
More smooth muscle
- D.
Less smooth muscle
Correct Answer
D. Less smooth muscleExplanation
Arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the rest of the body. They have thick, elastic walls that contain smooth muscle. This smooth muscle allows arteries to constrict and dilate, regulating blood flow and maintaining blood pressure. Therefore, the statement "less smooth muscle" is incorrect because arteries actually have more smooth muscle compared to other blood vessels like veins and capillaries.Rate this question:
-
- 28.
Veins are all except
- A.
Blood travels towards the heart
- B.
Larger veins have valves
- C.
No valves
- D.
Less smooth muscle
Correct Answer
C. No valvesExplanation
Veins are blood vessels that carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart. The statement "no valves" is the correct answer because veins typically have valves that prevent the backflow of blood. These valves ensure that blood moves in one direction, towards the heart. Valves are particularly important in larger veins, such as in the legs, where they help counteract the effects of gravity and assist in the upward flow of blood. The absence of valves in veins would disrupt the proper circulation of blood and hinder its return to the heart.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. MouthExplanation
The mouth is not considered a part of the respiratory tract. The respiratory tract starts with the nose, which filters and warms the air, and then continues to the pharynx, where the air is further filtered and moistened. From there, the air moves to the larynx, where sound is produced, and then down into the trachea and lungs. The mouth, although involved in the process of breathing, is primarily responsible for other functions such as eating and speaking.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Mucus and ciliaExplanation
Mucus and cilia work together to purify the air. Mucus is a sticky substance produced by the respiratory system that traps dust, bacteria, and other particles in the air. Cilia are tiny hair-like structures that line the respiratory tract and move in coordinated waves. These cilia help to move the trapped particles, along with the mucus, out of the respiratory system, preventing them from entering the lungs. This process helps to filter and purify the air we breathe.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. VoiceboxExplanation
The trachea, also known as the windpipe, is a tube that connects the larynx (voicebox) to the bronchi of the lungs. It is supported by C-shaped cartilaginous rings, which prevent it from collapsing and maintain its shape. The trachea is lined with pseudostratified columnar epithelium, which helps to protect and lubricate the airway. Therefore, the correct answer is "voicebox" because the trachea is not the same as the larynx, which is responsible for producing sound.Rate this question:

- D.
3 air sacs of the right and 2 on the left
Correct Answer
A. 3 segmentsExplanation
The correct answer is 3 segments. This is because the bronchi and bronchioles do not have 3 segments. The bronchi and bronchioles are the airways that branch from the trachea towards the different lobes of the lungs. They further divide into smaller branches called bronchioles. The 5 branches leading to the 5 lobes of the lungs and the presence of 3 air sacs on the right and 2 on the left are all true statements about the bronchi and bronchioles.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
C. Trachea, primary bronchus, secondary bronchus, tertiary bronchus (many x's over), bronchiole, alveoluiExplanation
The correct answer is the sequence of structures that air passes through in the respiratory system: trachea, primary bronchus, secondary bronchus, tertiary bronchus, bronchiole, and alveoli. This is the correct order in which air travels from the upper respiratory tract down into the lungs. The trachea is the main airway that connects the throat to the bronchi, which then branch out into smaller airways called bronchioles. The bronchioles lead to tiny air sacs called alveoli, where gas exchange occurs.Rate this question:

- A.
Charge changes from negative to positive, sodium rushes in
- B.
Charge changes from positive to negative, opening voltage gated channels, potassium rushes out
- C.
Charge changes from positive to negative, opening ligand gated channels, sodium rushes in
- D.
Charge changes from negative to positive, opening ligand gated channels, sodium rushes in
Correct Answer
B. Charge changes from positive to negative, opening voltage gated channels, potassium rushes outExplanation
During repolarization, the charge inside the cell changes from positive to negative. This change in charge causes the voltage-gated channels to open, allowing potassium ions to rush out of the cell. This movement of potassium ions out of the cell helps to restore the cell's resting membrane potential and brings the charge back to a negative value.Rate this question:

Charge changes from positive to negative, opening ligand gated channels, sodium rushes in
- B.
Pulls trypomyosin off actin
- C.
Reveals binding spot for myosin
Correct Answer
B. Pulls trypomyosin off actinExplanation
The correct answer states that the release of Ca+ ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum causes a change in charge from positive to negative. This change in charge opens ligand-gated channels, allowing sodium to rush into the cell. As a result, trypomyosin is pulled off actin, revealing the binding spot for myosin. This explanation provides a clear and concise understanding of the sequence of events that occur during muscle contraction.Rate this question:

Myosin binds actin --> ADP and Pi release -->
- A.
ATP binds to myosin
- B.
Stroke motion
- C.
Myosin is release
Correct Answer
B. Stroke motionExplanation
The given answer suggests that the stroke motion occurs after ATP binds to myosin. This indicates that the binding of ATP to myosin is a crucial step in initiating the stroke motion. The release of ADP and Pi from myosin that happens prior to ATP binding is likely responsible for the energy required for the stroke motion to occur. Once the stroke motion is complete, myosin is released, allowing it to bind to actin again and continue the contraction process.Rate this question:

ATP hydrolizes to...
- A.
ADP
- B.
ADP and Pi
- C.
Pi
Correct Answer
B. ADP and PiExplanation
ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is a molecule that stores and releases energy in living cells. When ATP is hydrolyzed, it breaks down into ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and inorganic phosphate (Pi). This process releases energy that can be used by the cell for various metabolic reactions. Therefore, the correct answer is ADP and Pi, as both products are formed when ATP is hydrolyzed.Rate this question:

For myosin to be release
- A.
ADP and Pi must be hydrolized
- B.
Myosin must bind to trypomyosin
- C.
ATP must bind to myosin
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
C. ATP must bind to myosinExplanation
When ATP binds to myosin, it provides the necessary energy for myosin to release from actin filaments. This allows the muscle contraction cycle to continue. ADP and Pi being hydrolyzed are necessary steps in the contraction cycle but do not directly cause myosin release. Binding of myosin to tropomyosin is also a step in muscle contraction, but it does not specifically lead to myosin release. Therefore, the correct answer is that ATP must bind to myosin for myosin to be released.Rate this question:
