2. Based upon your inspection of the drawings (# 1), what is the difference in the pattern of vessels that emerge from the aortic arch in cats and in humans? In the cat, the abdominal aorta terminates by bifurcating (branching) into right and left external iliac arteries. How is it different in humans? Trace a drop of blood from the human's plantar surface of great toe of the left foot to the posterior surface of the left knee. Include the heart and lungs. Trace a drop of blood from the human's thumb of the right hand to the antecubital surface of the left arm. Include the heart and the lungs.

Which of the following lists the valves in the order through which the blood flows from the vena cava through the heart? tricuspid, pulmonary semilunar, bicuspid, aortic semilunar mitral, pulmonary semilunar, bicuspid, aortic semilunar aortic semilunar, pulmonary semilunar, tricuspid, bicuspid bicuspid, aortic semilunar, tricuspid, pulmonary semilunar
Contraction of __________ drives the flow of blood through the aorta and pulmonary arteries. a. atria b. ventricles
Visit this site (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/heartvalve) to observe an echocardiogram of actual heart valves opening and closing. Although much of the heart has been removed from this gif loop so the chordae tendineae are not visible, why is their presence more critical for the atrioventricular valves (tricuspid and mitral) than the semilunar (aortic and pulmonary) valves?
Which chamber initially receives blood from the systemic circuit? left atrium left ventricle right atrium right ventricle
The myocardium would be the thickest in the ________. left atrium left ventricle right atrium right ventricle
In__________, blood flows through two completely separate circuits. a. birds b. mammals c. fish d. both a and b
Figure 40.11 Which of the following statements about the heart is false? The mitral valve separates the left ventricle from the left atrium. Blood travels through the bicuspid valve to the left atrium. Both the aortic and the pulmonary valves are semilunar valves. The mitral valve is an atrioventricular valve.
8. We discussed fish, amphibian, and mammalian hearts, but didn’t spend much time on reptiles and birds. Please compare and contrast the anatomy of the heart ina) most reptiles (turtles, snakes, lizards) in terms of number of atria, number of ventricles, total number of chambers, and development of the aorta from aortic arches (left, right, or both). Use a table, not text. Also, include a drawing showing the basic template of dorsal aorta, ventral aorta, and six aortic arches, along with drawings showing the modified patterns of aortic arches in a-d above.
All the blood that passes through the aorta, except the blood that flowsinto the coronary vessels, returns to the heart through the venae cavae.(Hint: The diameter of the aorta is 26 mm, and the diameter of avena cava is 32 mm.) Explain why the resistance to blood flow in theaorta is greater than the resistance to blood flow in the venae cavae.Because the resistances are different, explain why blood flow can bethe same.
