Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 3TYC
About 1 out of every 120 live-born infants has a structural defect in the heart such as a hole between two heart chambers.
Such infants often suffer pulmonary congestion and heart failure, and about one-third of them die as a result.
Which of the major themes in this chapter does this illustrate? Explain your answer.

Which of the following statements best summarizes the function of the pulmonary circuit in a human circulatory system?
Question 26 options:
Filters waste products from the blood.
Transports carbon dioxide to the lungs and picks up oxygen from the lungs.
Transports oxygen through the heart, lungs and body tissues.
Transports oxygen and nutrients to body tissues.
If the Mitral Valve failed in a patient, would the blood flow back into the Right Ventricle?
Question 6 options:
Only if the pulmonary semilunar valves also fail
Only if the aortic semilunar valves also fail
No, because the flow would be stopped by the bicuspid valve
No, because blood can only flow forward, never in the reverse direction.
