    Label 5. 

    Explanation
    The correct answer is the Right Atrium. The right atrium is one of the four chambers of the heart and is responsible for receiving deoxygenated blood from the body via the superior and inferior vena cava. It then pumps this blood into the right ventricle, which will eventually send it to the lungs for oxygenation.

    Which heart chamber has the thickest layer of cardiac muscle?

    • Left atrium

    • Left Ventricle

    • Right Atrium

    • Right Ventricle

    Correct Answer
    A. Left Ventricle
    Explanation
    The left ventricle has the thickest layer of cardiac muscle. This is because it is responsible for pumping oxygenated blood to the rest of the body, which requires more forceful contractions. The thick layer of cardiac muscle in the left ventricle allows it to generate the necessary pressure to pump blood throughout the systemic circulation.

    What "type" of blood flows from the body into the right atrium?Oxygenated or Deoxygenated??

    Correct Answer
    oxygen poor
    Deoxygenated
    Explanation
    The correct answer is deoxygenated blood. Deoxygenated blood flows from the body into the right atrium of the heart. This blood has already delivered oxygen to the body's tissues and organs and is returning to the heart to be pumped to the lungs for oxygenation.

    Correct Answer
    Superior Vena Cava
    Vena Cava
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Superior Vena Cava, Vena Cava. The superior vena cava is a large vein that carries deoxygenated blood from the upper body to the right atrium of the heart. The vena cava is a general term for any large vein that carries deoxygenated blood back to the heart. In this case, the superior vena cava is a specific type of vena cava that refers to the vein carrying blood from the upper body.

    Label 6. 

    Correct Answer
    Tricuspid Valve
    Explanation
    The tricuspid valve is a valve located between the right atrium and the right ventricle of the heart. It consists of three leaflets or cusps that open and close to regulate blood flow. When the right atrium contracts, the tricuspid valve opens, allowing blood to flow from the atrium into the ventricle. When the ventricle contracts, the valve closes to prevent backflow of blood into the atrium. This valve plays a crucial role in ensuring proper circulation of blood within the heart and preventing any regurgitation.

    Label 12. 

    Correct Answer
    Bicuspid Valve
    Mitral Valve
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Bicuspid Valve, Mitral Valve. The bicuspid valve, also known as the mitral valve, is located between the left atrium and the left ventricle of the heart. It consists of two leaflets that open and close to regulate blood flow. This valve prevents the backflow of blood from the left ventricle to the left atrium during ventricular contraction. It is called the mitral valve because it resembles a bishop's miter, a type of hat worn by bishops in some religious ceremonies. Therefore, both terms refer to the same valve in the heart.

    The vessel carrying oxygenated to the heart from the lungs is called

    • The Aorta

    • The pulmonary vein

    • The pulmonary artery

    • The vena cavae

    Correct Answer
    A. The pulmonary vein
    Explanation
    The pulmonary vein is the vessel that carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart. After blood is oxygenated in the lungs, it returns to the heart through the pulmonary veins. From there, it is pumped out to the rest of the body through the aorta. The pulmonary artery, on the other hand, carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs for oxygenation. The vena cavae are large veins that bring deoxygenated blood from the body back to the heart.

    Label 9  - ProProfs

    Label 9 

    Correct Answer
    Pulmonary Artery
    Explanation
    The label "Pulmonary Artery" is correct because it accurately identifies the blood vessel that carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs. The pulmonary artery is responsible for transporting blood to the lungs where it can be oxygenated before returning to the heart.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    Oxygen-poor (deoxygenated) blood enters the right atrium of the heart via ....

    • The aorta

    • The right ventricle and then through the pulmonary artery to the lungs

    • The veins called the inferior vena cava and the superior vena cava

    • The pulmonary vein

    Correct Answer
    A. The veins called the inferior vena cava and the superior vena cava
    Explanation
    Oxygen-poor blood enters the right atrium of the heart through the veins called the inferior vena cava and the superior vena cava. These veins collect deoxygenated blood from various parts of the body and transport it back to the heart. From the right atrium, the blood then passes through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle and then through the pulmonary artery to the lungs, where it picks up oxygen and becomes oxygenated. Therefore, the correct answer is the veins called the inferior vena cava and the superior vena cava.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    Which blood vessel carries blood that has the least amount of oxygen?

    • Aorta

    • Arteriole

    • Capillary

    • Venule

    Correct Answer
    A. Venule
    Explanation
    Venule is the correct answer because venules are small blood vessels that collect deoxygenated blood from capillaries and carry it back to the heart. Capillaries, on the other hand, are the smallest blood vessels where oxygen is exchanged with tissues, while the aorta and arterioles carry oxygenated blood away from the heart. Therefore, venules carry blood with the least amount of oxygen.

    Label the structure allows blood to flow from the right venticle into  the pulmonary artery.  - ProProfs

    Label the structure allows blood to flow from the right venticle into  the pulmonary artery. 

    Correct Answer
    Pulmonary Valve
    Explanation
    The pulmonary valve is the structure that allows blood to flow from the right ventricle into the pulmonary artery. It is located between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery and acts as a one-way valve, preventing the backflow of blood into the ventricle. When the right ventricle contracts, the pulmonary valve opens, allowing blood to be pumped into the pulmonary artery and then to the lungs for oxygenation. Once the ventricle relaxes, the pulmonary valve closes to prevent blood from flowing back into the ventricle.

    The right ventricle

    • Takes in deoxygenated blood

    • Takes in oxygenated blood

    • Pumps out oxygenated blood

    • Pumps out deoxygenated blood

    Correct Answer
    A. Pumps out deoxygenated blood
    Explanation
    The right ventricle pumps out deoxygenated blood. This is because the right ventricle receives blood from the right atrium, which contains deoxygenated blood from the body. The right ventricle then contracts and pumps this deoxygenated blood into the pulmonary artery, which carries it to the lungs for oxygenation. Once the blood is oxygenated in the lungs, it returns to the heart and enters the left atrium, where it is then pumped out by the left ventricle to be distributed to the rest of the body.

    The correct order for the movement of blood through a heart is

    • Left Atrium, Left Ventricle, Right Ventricle, Right Atrium

    • RA, LV, LA, RV

    • LV, RA, RV, LA

    • RV, LA, RA, LV

    Correct Answer
    A. LV, RA, RV, LA
    Explanation
    The correct order for the movement of blood through a heart is as follows: The blood enters the Left Atrium (LA) from the lungs, then flows into the Left Ventricle (LV). From there, it is pumped out to the body through the Aorta. The blood returns to the heart through the Right Atrium (RA), then flows into the Right Ventricle (RV). Finally, it is pumped to the lungs through the Pulmonary Artery. Therefore, the correct order is LV, RA, RV, LA.

    Name any 2 out of the 5 different General types of blood vessels that allow the transportation of  blood in the human body.(do not name any specific blood vessels of the heart!)

    Correct Answer
    capillaries
    veins
    arteries
    venule
    arteriole
    Explanation
    Capillaries, veins, arteries, venules, and arterioles are the five different general types of blood vessels in the human body. Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels that connect arteries and veins, allowing for the exchange of oxygen, nutrients, and waste products between the blood and surrounding tissues. Veins carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart from the body's organs and tissues. Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body's organs and tissues. Venules are small veins that collect blood from the capillaries and transport it to the larger veins. Arterioles are small arteries that regulate blood flow and control blood pressure.
