7. Red blood cells are made where?

Explanation

Red blood cells are made in the bone marrow. The bone marrow is a soft, spongy tissue found inside the bones. It is responsible for producing red blood cells, along with other types of blood cells. Red blood cells play a crucial role in carrying oxygen to different parts of the body. The bone marrow contains stem cells that can differentiate into various types of blood cells, including red blood cells. Hence, the bone marrow is the correct answer for where red blood cells are made.

  • What is #1?

Explanation

The correct answer is aorta. The question is asking for the definition or identification of "#1," and the correct answer is the aorta. The aorta is the main artery in the body that carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body.

Submit
9. The two main (biggest) chambers of the heart are called?

Explanation

The two main chambers of the heart are called ventricles. The ventricles are responsible for pumping blood out of the heart and into the circulatory system. They are the largest chambers of the heart and are located at the bottom of the heart. The right ventricle pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs to pick up oxygen, while the left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood to the rest of the body.

Submit
10. What is the main artery of the body?

Explanation

The main artery of the body is the aorta. It is the largest artery in the body and carries oxygenated blood from the heart to all parts of the body. The aorta originates from the left ventricle of the heart and branches out into smaller arteries to supply oxygen and nutrients to all organs and tissues. It plays a crucial role in maintaining blood circulation and ensuring the delivery of essential substances to the body's cells.

Submit
11. Which blood cells cause blood to clot and are considered sticky?

Explanation

Platelets are the blood cells that cause blood to clot and are considered sticky. When there is an injury or damage to a blood vessel, platelets gather at the site and form a clot to prevent excessive bleeding. They release chemicals that attract more platelets and help in the formation of a stable clot. Platelets are small, irregularly shaped cells that circulate in the blood and play a crucial role in hemostasis, the process of stopping bleeding.

Submit
13. The two uppermost (and smallest) chambers of the heart are called?

Explanation

The two uppermost chambers of the heart are called the atria or atrium. These chambers receive blood returning to the heart from the body and lungs. They then contract to pump this blood into the lower chambers of the heart, known as the ventricles, which then pump the blood out to the rest of the body.

Submit
14. Name the valve that lies between the Right Atrium and Right Ventricle.

Explanation

The correct answer is the Tricuspid valve. This valve is located between the Right Atrium and Right Ventricle of the heart. It consists of three cusps or flaps that allow blood to flow from the atrium to the ventricle and prevent backflow. The Tricuspid valve ensures that blood flows in one direction, from the atrium to the ventricle, and helps maintain the proper functioning of the heart.

Submit
15. What is the name for the tubular structures that mainly carry deoxygenated blood throughout the body?

Explanation

Veins are the tubular structures that primarily transport deoxygenated blood throughout the body. They are responsible for carrying blood back to the heart after the oxygen has been delivered to the tissues. Veins have valves that prevent the backward flow of blood and rely on muscle contractions to assist in the movement of blood towards the heart.

Submit
16.
  • What is #10?

Explanation

The correct answer is vena cava superior or superior vena cava. These terms refer to a large vein that carries deoxygenated blood from the upper body back to the heart. It is located in the superior mediastinum and is responsible for returning blood from the head, neck, upper limbs, and chest to the right atrium of the heart.

Submit
17. The ONLY veins that carry oxygenated blood are called the......

Explanation

The pulmonary veins are the only veins in the body that carry oxygenated blood. After oxygen is exchanged in the lungs, the pulmonary veins transport the oxygen-rich blood back to the heart to be pumped out to the rest of the body. This is in contrast to other veins, which typically carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart.

Submit
18. Blood is pumped from the left atrium to the

Explanation

The left ventricle is responsible for pumping oxygenated blood from the left atrium to the rest of the body. It is the main pumping chamber of the heart and has a thicker muscle wall compared to the other chambers, allowing it to generate enough force to push blood throughout the body's circulatory system. This is why the left ventricle is the correct answer in this case.

Submit
19. The muscular, tubular structures that carry oxygenated blood throughout the body are called?

Explanation

Arteries are the correct answer because they are the muscular, tubular structures that carry oxygenated blood throughout the body. Veins, on the other hand, carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart. Vesicles are small, fluid-filled sacs found in cells, and ventricles are the chambers of the heart that pump blood.

Submit
20. Oxygen and nutrients are exchanged with the bodies tissues where?

Explanation

Oxygen and nutrients are exchanged with the body's tissues in the capillaries. Capillaries are tiny blood vessels that connect arteries and veins. They have thin walls which allow for the exchange of oxygen, nutrients, and waste products between the blood and the surrounding tissues. This exchange is essential for delivering oxygen and nutrients to the cells and removing waste products from them.

Submit
21. A membranous tissue that controls the direction of flow of blood in the heart is called a ___________

Explanation

The correct answer is "valve, valves." A valve is a membranous tissue that controls the direction of blood flow in the heart. It allows blood to flow in one direction while preventing backflow. Valves are essential for maintaining the proper circulation of blood and ensuring efficient functioning of the heart.

The correct answer is tricuspid valve. The question asks for the identification of "#4" and provides a hint that it is a valve. The tricuspid valve is a valve located between the right atrium and right ventricle of the heart. It has three leaflets or cusps, hence the name "tricuspid."

Submit
23. The Left Ventricle pumps blood to the ......

Explanation

The left ventricle is responsible for pumping oxygenated blood to the rest of the body through the aorta. The aorta is the largest artery in the body and carries the blood from the left ventricle to all the organs and tissues, providing them with the necessary oxygen and nutrients. Therefore, the correct answer is Aorta.
