- You are a red blood cell and you find yourself in the left atrium, from there you pass through the _____ into the ______. From there you will pass through the ______ and into the ______ as you start your journey through the systemic arteries. You very quickly get whisked into the left coronary artery. Yay! You will be delivering oxygen to the myocardium of the heart. Once you are done delivering oxygen to the myocardium you return to the inside of the heart via the ______ and enter the _______ Word Options for Blanks (some may not be used, some may be used more than once) aorta aortic valve bicuspid valve coronary sinus inferior vena cava left atrium left ventricle pulmonary arteries pulmonary trunk pulmonary valve pulmonary veins right atrium right ventricle superior vena cava tricuspid valvearrow_forwardWhy do interstitial fluids build up in the capillary beds of tissues? O the venous capillaries absorb more fluids than can be delivered by arterial capillaries O more fluid is usually released by arterial capillaries than is absorbed by venous capillaries O interstitial spaces lack dissolved proteins or other types of dissolved electrolytes O tissue cells within the capillary beds tend to expel fluids into nearby open spaces Nextarrow_forwardAs we auscultate the heart it is imperative, we understand what part of the heart we are listening to. Cellular senescence is observed when there is obstruction of the coronary circulation to the muscle tissue of the heart. If the left anterior descending artery (a.k.a. “Widow maker”) is occluded, predict an alternative route of blood flow to the myocardium. Start from the left coronary artery.arrow_forward
- 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.arrow_forwardTrace the flow of blood in a linear sequence beginning at the lungs and proceeding to the left heart and back to the lungs: Lungs to Left heart and back to the lungs Group of answer choices pulmonary artery, left atria, left ventricle, aorta, arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venuloes, veins, vena cava, right atria/ventricle, pulmonary vein pulmonary vein, left atria, left ventricle, aorta, arterioles, arteries, capillaries, venuoles, veins, vena cava, right atria/ventricle, pulmonary artery pulmonary artery, left atria, left ventricle, aorta, arteries, arterioles, capillaries, veins, venuoles, vena cava, right atria/ventricle, pulmonary vein pulmonary vein, left atria, left ventricle, aorta, arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venuloes, veins, vena cava, right atria/ventricle, pulmonary arteryarrow_forwardThe Greek anatomist Erasistratus, originally from Ceos, identified the correct function of the right atrioventricular valve of the human heart, which was to prevent backward flow of blood from: the right ventricle to the right atrium the right ventricle to the left ventricle the right ventricle to the left atrium the left ventricle to the right ventriclearrow_forward
- Trace the pathway of the flow of blood into and through the human heart and lungs (including all major veins, arteries, chambers, valves)arrow_forwardWhy is the pulmonary vein called a vein if it carries oxygenated blood?arrow_forwardPut the following sequence in order: _1_02 diffuses enters the blood and binds to hemoglobin in an RBC RBC enters pulmonary venule RBC crosses bicuspid/mitral valve RBC enters left ventricle, ventricle contracts RBC enters pulmonary vein RBC enters a systemic artery RBC enters a systemic arteriole RBC enters a systemic capillary Oxygen is released and diffuses across capillary into cell for aerobic respiration to occur RBC leaves pulmonary capillary RBC crosses aortic valve RBC enters aorta RBC enters left atrium, atrium contractsarrow_forward
- A 56-year-old man is admitted to the coronary care unit (CCU) for an acute inferior wall myocardial infarction. The cardiologist is trying to optimize the oxygen delivery to the myocardial tissue. Supplemental oxygen is provided by the nasal cannula at 3 L/min. which of the following best describes the oxygen- carrying capacity of whole blood? it is only related to respitaroy exchange ratioit is only the amount of O2 dissolved in the blooddependent on the alveolar PO2 onlyit is the sum of the dissolved O2 plus the amount of O2 bound to hemoglobin it is only equal to Oxygen attached with Hbarrow_forwardBlood that leaves the right ventricle is _________ and travels along the _______ to the _______. oxygenated ; systemic vein ; tissues of the body that need oxygen deoxygenated ; pulmonary vein ; lungs oxygenated ; systemic artery ; tissues of the body that need oxygen deoxygenated ; pulmonary artery ; lungsarrow_forwardDeoxygenated blood is returning to your heart from your head.
