In humans the wall of the left ventricle is thicker than that of the right ventricle. This adaptation is due to the fact that the leftventricleSelect one:O a. pumps blood to the extremities of the bodyO b. pumps blood that is low in oxygen contentO C.is smaller than the right ventricleO d.pumps blood to the left and right lungs If a person suffers a heart attack (myocardial infarction) two common emergency techniques are chest compression (CPR) oruse of an automated external defibrillator (AED) to deliver an electrical shock.. The AED would be a substitute forSelect one:O a. blood thinners that prevent clottingO b.the action of the SA node (pacemaker)O c.signals from the circulatory centre of the brainO d. normal contraction of ventricles

Which heart chamber has the thickest wall? a. right atrium c. left atrium b. right ventricle d. left ventricle
How do arteries differ from veins? a. Arteries have thicker wall layers to accommodate the changes in pressure from the baa b. Arteries carry blood. c. Arteries have thinner wall layers and valves and move blood by the action of skeletal muscla d. Arteries are thin wafted and are used for gas exchange.
Contraction of _______ drives the flow of blood through the aorta and pulmonary arteries. a. atria b. veins c. arterioles d. Ventricles
The heartbeat includes: a. the systole when the heart relaxes and fills. b. the diastole when the heart contracts and empties. c. pressure that causes the AV valves to open, filling the ventricles. d. rising pressure in the ventricles to open the AV valves and close the SL valves. e. the lub sound when the SL valves open and the dub sound when the AV valves close.
Why does the right ventricle have a bicuspid valve? a. The low pressure generated by the right ventricle is best suited to bicuspid valve compared with a tricuspid valve b. The high pressure generated by the right ventricle would be better controlled by a bicuspid compared with a tricuspid valve c. Only a short pumping distance to the lungs is required for the bicuspid valve d. The right ventricle does not have a bicuspid valve
Which is not true about our heart A. ventricular systole squeezes blood to the lungs and the body B. Both ventricles hold the same volume of blood C. The pacemaker is in the right atrium D. blood from the left lung goes to the left atrium and blood from the right lung goes to the right atrium
How would the left ventricle of a patient who had had high blood pressure for many years differ from the left ventricle of a normal heart? A it would have a larger volume of muscle B it would have a smaller volume of muscle C it would be smaller than the right ventricle D chronic high blood pressure would weaken the heart valves but would have no anatomical effects on the walls of the ventricles
Which of these events occurs during (ventricular) systole? A)Only the left ventricle contracts. B)The ventricles fill with blood. C)Both ventricles contract. D)The atria fill with blood
The heart chamber that receives oxygenated blood from the lungs of animals with a double circulation is the a. left atrium. b. right ventricle. c. left ventricle. d. right atrium.
The left ventricular wall of the heart is thicker than the right wall in order to ________. A accommodate a greater volume of blood B expand the thoracic cage during diastole C pump blood with greater pressure D pump blood through a smaller valve
The heart’s internal pacemaker beats by: a. an internal implant that sends an electrical impulse through the heart b. the excitation of cardiac muscle cells at the sinoatrial node followed by the atrioventricular node c. the excitation of cardiac muscle cells at the atrioventricular node followed by the sinoatrial node d. the action of the sinus
A major advantage of a double circulation is thata. blood can be pumped to the upper portions of the body by onecircuit and to the lower portions of the body by the other circuit.b. each circuit can pump blood at a different pressure to optimize thefunction of each.c. the oxygenated blood can mix with the deoxygenated blood beforebeing pumped to the tissues of the body.d. less energy is required to provide nutrients and oxygen to the tissuesof the body.e. All of the above are advantages of a double circulation.
