Questions & Answers

1. Which statement describes the chamber marked with a star?

 A. It is the right atrium, and it pumps blood to the lungs.


 B. It is the right ventricle, and it pumps blood to the lungs.
 C. It is the right atrium, and it pumps blood to the body.
 D. It is the right ventricle, and it pumps blood to the body.

Correct Answer: B.
It is the right ventricle, and it pumps blood to the lungs.

Explanation: The diagram shows a human heart. The two upper chambers are the
atria, and the two lower chambers are the ventricles. The heart is oriented as it would
be in a person lying face up. Therefore the left side of the heart is on the right side of
the diagram, and the right side of the heart is on the left side of the diagram. The
labeled chamber is on the lower left side of the diagram, so it is the right ventricle. The
right ventricle pumps oxygen-poor blood to the lungs.

3. In what order does blood flow through the body and heart?

 A. Right atrium, left atrium, lungs, right ventricle, left ventricle, body.
 B. Right atrium, left ventricle, lungs, left atrium, right ventricle, body.
 C. Right atrium, right ventricle, lungs, left ventricle, left atrium, body.
 D. Right atrium, right ventricle, lungs, left atrium, left ventricle, body.

Correct Answer: D.
Right atrium, right ventricle, lungs, left atrium, left ventricle, body.

Explanation: After blood enters the right atrium, it flows to the right ventricle. The right
ventricle pumps blood into the lungs, where oxygen is added and carbon dioxide is
removed. Oxygen-rich blood returns from the lungs to the left atrium, then goes into
the left ventricle. Finally, the left ventricle pumps blood through the aorta and into the
body.

4. Which of these blood samples most likely came from the left ventricle?

 A. Sample A (bright red blood cells)


 B. Sample B (dark red blood cells)
 C. Both samples could have come from the left ventricle.
 D. Neither sample could have come from the left ventricle.

Correct Answer: A.
Sample A (bright red blood cells)

Explanation: Blood in the left side of the heart contains oxygen because it just came
from the lungs. Oxygen-rich blood is a bright red color. Oxygen-poor blood is dark red
in color, with a slight bluish tint.

5. Which statement is true?

 A. All arteries carry oxygen-rich blood.


 B. All veins carry oxygen-rich blood.
 C. All arteries except the pulmonary artery carry oxygen-rich blood.
 D. All veins except the pulmonary vein carry oxygen-rich blood.

Correct Answer: C.
All arteries except the pulmonary artery carry oxygen-rich blood.

Explanation: Most arteries carry blood from the left ventricle of the heart to other
parts of the body. These arteries carry oxygen-rich blood. But one artery, called the
pulmonary artery, carries oxygen-poor blood from the right ventricle to the lungs.

You answered this question incorrectly. Your answer was D.
