The left side of the heart is responsible for pumping oxygenated blood to the rest of the body. Oxygenated blood is rich in oxygen and is necessary for providing oxygen to the body's tissues and organs. This is why the correct answer is "oxygenated blood."
4.
How do arteries travel?
Correct Answer
B. Away from the heart
Explanation
Arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to various parts of the body, including organs, tissues, and muscles. The walls of arteries are thick and elastic, allowing them to withstand the high pressure created by the pumping action of the heart. As the heart contracts, it pushes blood into the arteries, and the arteries carry this oxygen-rich blood to the rest of the body. Therefore, the correct answer is "away from the heart."
5.
What do you call a vessel that goes toward the heart?
Correct Answer
B. Vein
Explanation
A vessel that goes toward the heart is called a vein. Veins are blood vessels that carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart. They have valves that help prevent the backflow of blood and assist in the movement of blood against gravity. Arteries, on the other hand, carry oxygenated blood away from the heart, while capillaries are tiny blood vessels that connect arteries and veins, allowing for the exchange of oxygen, nutrients, and waste products between the blood and surrounding tissues.

22.
How does de-oxygenated blood travel?
Correct Answer
A. From superior and inferior vena cava, right atrium, right ventricle, pulmonary trunk, R and L pulmonary artery
Explanation
De-oxygenated blood travels through the circulatory system in a specific pathway. It first enters the heart through the superior and inferior vena cava, which are large veins that bring blood from the upper and lower body respectively. The blood then flows into the right atrium, which is one of the chambers of the heart. From there, it is pumped into the right ventricle, another chamber of the heart. The right ventricle then contracts and pumps the blood into the pulmonary trunk, which is a large blood vessel. The pulmonary trunk divides into the right and left pulmonary arteries, which carry the de-oxygenated blood to the lungs for oxygenation.
23.
What sits in the posterior interventricular sulcus?
Correct Answer
C. Both
Explanation
Both the posterior interventricular artery and the middle cardiac vein sit in the posterior interventricular sulcus. The posterior interventricular artery supplies oxygenated blood to the posterior walls of the ventricles, while the middle cardiac vein drains deoxygenated blood from the same area. Therefore, both structures are present in the posterior interventricular sulcus.
24.
What is the R. AV valve (atrioventricular) called?

Therefore, the correct answer is "only in atrium."
31.
What is the wall the separates the R and L ventricle?
Correct Answer
B. Interventricular septum
Explanation
The wall that separates the right and left ventricles of the heart is called the interventricular septum. This structure plays a crucial role in maintaining the separation of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood within the heart. It prevents the mixing of blood between the two ventricles, ensuring that oxygen-rich blood is pumped to the body and oxygen-poor blood is sent to the lungs for oxygenation.
32.
How is blood supposed to move
Correct Answer
C. Only in one direction
Explanation
Blood is supposed to move only in one direction due to the presence of valves in the veins. These valves prevent the backflow of blood and ensure that it flows in a forward direction towards the heart. This unidirectional flow is essential for the efficient functioning of the circulatory system, as it allows oxygenated blood to reach the body's tissues and organs while deoxygenated blood is returned to the heart for oxygenation.
33.
Function of R and L AV valves?
Correct Answer
A. They close before the heart contracts so when blood goes up into aorta it doesn't come back down into atrium
Explanation
The function of the R and L AV valves is to close before the heart contracts. This prevents the backflow of blood from the aorta back into the atrium. By closing the valves, the blood is directed forward into the aorta, ensuring efficient blood circulation throughout the body.
34.

The RCA supplies blood to the right atrium, right ventricle, and part of the left ventricle, while the LCA supplies blood to the left atrium, left ventricle, and part of the right ventricle. These arteries play a crucial role in maintaining the heart's function and overall cardiovascular health.
41.
What is it called when ventricles contract?
Correct Answer
B. Ventricular systole
Explanation
When the ventricles contract, it is called ventricular systole. During this phase, the blood is pumped out of the ventricles and into the arteries. This contraction is responsible for the forceful ejection of blood and the generation of blood pressure. Ventricular systole is an important part of the cardiac cycle and is followed by ventricular diastole, which is the relaxation phase of the ventricles.
42.
When ventricles relax what is it called
Correct Answer
A. Ventricular diastole
Explanation
When the ventricles relax, it is referred to as ventricular diastole. During this phase, the ventricles fill with blood from the atria. This relaxation allows the ventricles to refill and prepare for the next contraction. Ventricular systole, on the other hand, is the phase when the ventricles contract and pump blood out of the heart.
43.
What is pericardium and what are its layers
