    Which of the following sequences is truly a systemic circulation pathway?

    • Right ventricle → pulmonary artery → tissues → pulmonary veins → left atrium

    • Left atrium → left ventricle → aorta → arteries → tissues → veins → right atrium

    • Left atrium → left ventricle → pulmonary aorta → tissues → right atrium

    • Right atrium → left ventricle → aorta → tissues → veins → left atrium

    Correct Answer
    A. Left atrium → left ventricle → aorta → arteries → tissues → veins → right atrium
    Explanation
    This sequence is the correct systemic circulation pathway because it starts in the left atrium, which receives oxygenated blood from the lungs via the pulmonary veins. From the left atrium, the blood flows into the left ventricle, which then pumps it into the aorta. The aorta carries the oxygenated blood to the arteries, which distribute it to the tissues. After the tissues have used up the oxygen and nutrients from the blood, the deoxygenated blood returns to the heart through the veins. In this sequence, the blood returns to the right atrium, completing the systemic circulation pathway.

    What is the function of valves in the circulatory system?

    • To only let oxygenated blood through

    • To only let deoxygenated blood through

    • To stop blood flowing backwards

    • To help in the pulsation of arteries

    Correct Answer
    A. To stop blood flowing backwards
    Explanation
    The function of valves in the circulatory system is to prevent the backflow of blood. Valves are present in the veins and they ensure that blood flows in one direction, towards the heart. When the heart contracts and pumps blood, the valves open to allow blood to flow forward, and then close to prevent it from flowing backward. This helps maintain the proper flow of blood and prevents any regurgitation or backflow.

  • 5. 

    Which chamber of the heart contracts with the highest pressure?

    • Left atrium

    • Left ventricle

    • Right ventricle

    • Right atrium

    Correct Answer
    A. Left ventricle
    Explanation
    The left ventricle contracts with the highest pressure because it is responsible for pumping oxygenated blood out of the heart and into the body's main artery, the aorta. This requires a strong contraction to overcome the resistance of the systemic circulation and ensure that oxygenated blood reaches all the organs and tissues of the body. The left ventricle has thicker walls and a more muscular structure compared to the other chambers of the heart, enabling it to generate the necessary force to pump blood effectively.

    • Red blood cells

    • White blood cells

    • Plasma

    • Hemoglobin

    Correct Answer
    A. Plasma
    Explanation
    Plasma carries nutrients such as glucose, fats, vitamins, and minerals. It is the liquid component of blood and makes up about 55% of total blood volume. Plasma also transports hormones, waste products, and antibodies throughout the body. Red blood cells, white blood cells, and hemoglobin have different functions in the blood but do not directly carry nutrients.

    Which blood vessel has the highest concentration of glucose soon after a meal?

    • Hepatic portal vein

    • Hepatic vein

    • Hepatic artery

    • Aorta

    Correct Answer
    A. Hepatic portal vein
    Explanation
    After a meal, the concentration of glucose in the blood increases. The hepatic portal vein is responsible for carrying blood from the gastrointestinal tract to the liver. This vein transports the nutrients, including glucose, absorbed from the intestines directly to the liver for processing and storage. Therefore, the hepatic portal vein has the highest concentration of glucose soon after a meal.

    What is true for the pulmonary circulation?

    • Carries blood from the right ventricle to the lungs and back to the left atrium

    • Carries blood from the left ventricle to the body and back to the right atrium

    • Its arteries supply blood with high oxygen level to all tissues of the body

    • Its veins carry blood with a low oxygen level

    Correct Answer
    A. Carries blood from the right ventricle to the lungs and back to the left atrium
    Explanation
    The pulmonary circulation is responsible for carrying blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs for oxygenation, and then returning it to the left atrium of the heart. This circulation is separate from the systemic circulation, which carries oxygenated blood from the left ventricle to the rest of the body. The arteries in the pulmonary circulation carry deoxygenated blood to the lungs, while the veins carry oxygenated blood back to the heart.

    Which of the following is a major function of the lymphatic system?

    • Filtering blood and regulating the excretion of waste products

    • Initiating the diffusion of gases across cell membranes in the lungs

    • Transporting oxygen and glucose to respiring cells

    • Returning excess fluids that collect in tissue back to the blood

    Correct Answer
    A. Returning excess fluids that collect in tissue back to the blood
    Explanation
    The lymphatic system is responsible for returning excess fluids that collect in tissues back to the blood. This function is important for maintaining fluid balance in the body and preventing tissue swelling. The lymphatic system consists of a network of vessels and lymph nodes that collect and filter lymph, a fluid that contains waste products, pathogens, and excess fluid from the tissues. The lymph is then returned to the bloodstream, where it can be processed and eliminated by the body.

    Why do arteries have thick, muscular walls containing elastic fibers?

    • To prevent oxygen from being lost from the blood

    • To prevent the backflow of blood

    • To help them carry blood at low pressure

    • To allow the transport of substances to other cells

    • To help them carry blood at high pressure

    Correct Answer
    A. To help them carry blood at high pressure
    Explanation
    Arteries have thick, muscular walls containing elastic fibers in order to help them carry blood at high pressure. This is because arteries are responsible for carrying oxygenated blood away from the heart to the rest of the body. The thick walls and elastic fibers allow the arteries to withstand the force of the blood being pumped by the heart and maintain the high pressure needed to efficiently distribute oxygenated blood to the tissues and organs throughout the body.

    Rate this question:

    Blood vessels that have the highest pressure are the …..

    • Arteries

    • Veins

    • Arterioles

    • Capillaries

    Correct Answer
    A. Arteries
    Explanation
    Arteries have the highest pressure among the given options. Arteries are responsible for carrying oxygenated blood away from the heart to various parts of the body. The walls of arteries are thick and muscular, allowing them to withstand and maintain high pressure as blood is pumped from the heart. Veins, on the other hand, carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart and have lower pressure. Arterioles are smaller branches of arteries, and capillaries are tiny blood vessels where exchange of nutrients and waste products occurs. However, neither arterioles nor capillaries have the highest pressure.

  • 15. 

    People living at sea level have around 5 million RBC per cubic millimeter of their blood whereas those living at an altitude of 5400 metres have around 8 million. This is because at high altitude ………

    • There is more UV radiation which enhances RBC production

    • People eat more nutritive food, therefore more RBCs are formed

    • People get pollution-free air to breathe and more oxygen is available

    • Atmospheric O2 level is less and hence more RBCs are needed to absorb the required amount of O2 to survive

    Correct Answer
    A. Atmospheric O2 level is less and hence more RBCs are needed to absorb the required amount of O2 to survive
    Explanation
    At high altitudes, the atmospheric oxygen level is lower than at sea level. This means that individuals living at high altitudes need more red blood cells (RBCs) to absorb the required amount of oxygen to survive. The body compensates for the lower oxygen levels by producing more RBCs, which carry oxygen to the tissues. This helps individuals at high altitudes maintain adequate oxygen supply despite the lower atmospheric oxygen levels.

    • Adrenal gland

    • Pancreas

    • Spleen

    • Thyroid gland

    Correct Answer
    A. Spleen
    Explanation
    The spleen is responsible for storing extra blood and releasing it when there is a shortage. It acts as a reservoir for red and white blood cells and platelets, which can be released into the bloodstream when needed. The adrenal gland produces hormones that regulate metabolism and stress response. The pancreas produces insulin and helps in digestion. The thyroid gland produces hormones that regulate metabolism and growth.

    From which one of the following chambers of human heart, oxygenated blood is pumped into the aorta?

    • Right atrium

    • Right ventricle

    • Left atrium

    • Left ventricle

    Correct Answer
    A. Left ventricle
    Explanation
    The left ventricle is responsible for pumping oxygenated blood into the aorta. The left atrium receives oxygenated blood from the lungs and then passes it to the left ventricle. The left ventricle is the largest and strongest chamber of the heart, and it contracts forcefully to pump blood into the aorta, which is the largest artery in the body. This oxygenated blood is then distributed to the rest of the body's tissues and organs through the network of arteries.

    Rate this question:

    If the radius of blood vessels of a person increases, his/her blood pressure will …..

    • Increase

    • Decrease

    • Remain unaffected

    • Increase for males and decrease for females

    Correct Answer
    A. Decrease
    Explanation
    If the radius of blood vessels of a person increases, his/her blood pressure will decrease. This is because when the radius of blood vessels increases, the total cross-sectional area of the vessels also increases. As a result, the blood flow slows down and the resistance to blood flow decreases, leading to a decrease in blood pressure.

    Which blood vessel carries the most oxygen?

    • Inferior vena cava

    • Posterior vena cava

    • Pulmonary vein

    • Pulmonary artery

    Correct Answer
    A. Pulmonary vein
    Explanation
    The pulmonary vein carries the most oxygen because it is responsible for transporting oxygenated blood from the lungs back to the heart. After the blood is oxygenated in the lungs, it enters the left atrium of the heart through the pulmonary vein. From there, it is pumped out to the rest of the body through the systemic circulation. Therefore, the pulmonary vein carries the blood with the highest oxygen content.

    Which of the following would decrease the mean arterial blood pressure (the average pressure in the arteries)?

    • Constriction of arterioles

    • Dilation of the arterioles

    • Increased blood volume

    • Constriction of venules

    Correct Answer
    A. Dilation of the arterioles
    Explanation
    Dilation of the arterioles would decrease the mean arterial blood pressure because it would decrease the resistance to blood flow in the arteries. When the arterioles dilate, the diameter of the blood vessels increases, allowing more blood to flow through them. This results in a decrease in the pressure exerted on the arterial walls, leading to a decrease in mean arterial blood pressure.

    Which of the following is true about vasoconstriction?

    • Reduces the volume inside the blood vessel. This causes higher blood pressure.

    • Increases the volume inside the blood vessel. This causes lower blood pressure.

    • Increases the volume inside the blood vessel. This causes higher blood pressure

    • Reduces the volume inside the blood vessel. This causes lower blood pressure

    Correct Answer
    A. Reduces the volume inside the blood vessel. This causes higher blood pressure.
    Explanation
    Vasoconstriction refers to the narrowing of blood vessels, which results in a decrease in the volume of blood flowing through them. When the volume inside the blood vessel is reduced, the same amount of blood is forced through a smaller space, leading to an increase in blood pressure. Therefore, vasoconstriction causes higher blood pressure.

    • Pulmonary artery - Carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs

    • Hepatic artery - Carries deoxygenated blood to the intestine

    Correct Answer
    A. Pulmonary artery - Carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs
    Explanation
    The pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs for oxygenation. This is the correct match because the other options are incorrect. The superior vena cava actually receives deoxygenated blood from the head and arms, while the inferior vena cava receives deoxygenated blood from the lower body. The hepatic artery carries oxygenated blood to the liver, not deoxygenated blood to the intestine. Therefore, the correct match is the pulmonary artery carrying deoxygenated blood to the lungs.

    What happens when a clot occurred in an undamaged blood vessel?

    • The person would bleed to death.

    • A scar will form on the skin surface.

    • Platelets stick to the edges of the cut and to one another, forming a plug.

    • The flow of blood to tissues beyond the clot may be cut off.

    Correct Answer
    A. The flow of blood to tissues beyond the clot may be cut off.
    Explanation
    When a clot occurs in an undamaged blood vessel, it can block the flow of blood to tissues beyond the clot. This can lead to a lack of oxygen and nutrients reaching those tissues, potentially causing damage or death to the affected area.

    In a healthy adult man the normal diastolic pressure is …….

    • 80 mm Hg

    • 90 mm Hg

    • 100 mm Hg

    • 120 mm Hg

    Correct Answer
    A. 80 mm Hg
    Explanation
    The normal diastolic pressure in a healthy adult man is typically around 80 mm Hg. Diastolic pressure is the lower number in a blood pressure reading and represents the pressure in the arteries when the heart is at rest between beats. This measurement is important in determining the overall health of the cardiovascular system and can indicate the risk of conditions such as hypertension. A diastolic pressure of 80 mm Hg falls within the normal range and is considered healthy.

    Which vessel returns blood from the body to the heart?

    • Pulmonary vein

    • Aorta

    • Vena cava

    • Pulmonary artery

    Correct Answer
    A. Vena cava
    Explanation
    The vena cava is the correct answer because it is the large vein that carries deoxygenated blood from the body back to the heart. There are two types of vena cava: the superior vena cava, which returns blood from the upper body, and the inferior vena cava, which returns blood from the lower body.

    Which vessel type is not correctly matched with one of its functions?

    • Arteries - conduct blood away from the heart

    • Arterioles - return blood from the tissues to the atria

    • Capillaries - site of exchange of substances between the blood and tissue fluid

    • Veins - serves as a blood reservoir

    Correct Answer
    A. Arterioles - return blood from the tissues to the atria

    When someone is not exercising, most of his total blood volume is in the ......

    • Heart

    • Arteries

    • Capillaries

    • Veins

    Correct Answer
    A. Veins
    Explanation
    When someone is not exercising, most of his total blood volume is in the veins. This is because veins are responsible for carrying deoxygenated blood back to the heart from the various organs and tissues in the body. During periods of inactivity, the blood tends to pool in the veins due to the lack of muscle contractions that help propel the blood forward. As a result, the veins become distended and hold a larger volume of blood compared to other blood vessels such as arteries and capillaries.

    Blood going to the lungs through the pulmonary arteries contains a high concentration of ______ and a low concentration of ______.

    • Oxygen; hemoglobin

    • Carbon dioxide; oxygen

    • Oxygen; carbon dioxide

    • Carbon dioxide; hemoglobin

    Correct Answer
    A. Carbon dioxide; oxygen
    Explanation
    The pulmonary arteries carry deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs. This blood has a high concentration of carbon dioxide, which is a waste product produced by the body's cells, and a low concentration of oxygen. In the lungs, carbon dioxide is removed from the blood and oxygen is taken up by the hemoglobin in red blood cells. Therefore, the correct answer is carbon dioxide; oxygen.

    Each tissue type found in the wall of blood vessels has one or more specific functions that are necessary for the vessel to work correctly. In which of these choices is the tissue correctly matched with its role?

    • Elastic connective tissue - prevents back flow of blood.

    • Endothelium - allows the vessel to expand during ventricular systole

    • Elastic fibers - attract blood cells and platelets

    • Smooth muscle - allows the vessel to change its diameter

    Correct Answer
    A. Smooth muscle - allows the vessel to change its diameter
    Explanation
    Smooth muscle is the correct tissue type matched with its role because it allows the blood vessel to change its diameter. Smooth muscle is found in the walls of blood vessels and is responsible for regulating the diameter of the vessel, which in turn controls blood flow and pressure. This ability to contract and relax allows the vessel to constrict or dilate, adjusting the diameter as needed to accommodate changes in blood flow or to regulate blood pressure.

    Which blood vessel has the highest concentration of urea?

    • Inferior vena cava

    • Hepatic portal vein

    • Renal vein

    • Renal artery

    Correct Answer
    A. Renal artery
    Explanation
    The renal artery is the correct answer because it carries blood from the heart to the kidneys, where waste products such as urea are filtered out of the blood. Therefore, the renal artery has the highest concentration of urea compared to the other blood vessels listed.
