- A characteristic of blood circulation through or to the heart is that: a. the superior vena cava conveys blood to the head. b. the inferior vena cava conveys blood to the right atrium. c. the pulmonary arteries convey blood from the lungs to theleft atrium. d. the pulmonary veins convey blood into the left ventricle. e. the aorta branches into two coronary arteries that conveyblood from heart muscle.arrow_forwardWhich 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 semilunararrow_forwardFigure 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.arrow_forward
- An electrical difference across the fibers of the heart is called the A. Absolute refractory period B. Resting membrane potential C. Action potential D. Depolarizationarrow_forwardDescribe the cardiac cycle.arrow_forwardMatch the terms with their descriptions. ____capillary a. filters out pathogens ____lymph node b. cardiac pacemaker ____atrium c. blood vessel with valves ____ventricle d. largest artery ____SA node e. receives blood from veins ____vein f. exchange site ____aorta g. receives blood from atriumarrow_forward
- Characteristics of veins and venules are: a. thick walls. b. large muscle mass in the walls. c. a large quantity of elastin in the walls. d. low blood volume compared with arteries. e. one-way valves to prevent backflow of blood.arrow_forwardThe 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.arrow_forwardVisit 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?arrow_forward
