Pig Heart Quiz

How can you identify the anterior surface of the pig heart?

• By finding the aorta

• By locating the pulmonary trunk

• By the presence of the superior vena cava

• By identifying the left ventricle

What divides the left and right ventricles?

• The aorta

• The auricles

• The pulmonary trunk

• The interventricular sulcus

Which artery is most likely to be clogged during a heart attack?

• The aorta

• The pulmonary artery

• The left anterior descending artery

• The superior vena cava

What does the term 'auricle' refer to?

• A type of valve

• A blood vessel

• The part of the atrium that forms an ear-like shape

• A muscle in the ventricle

Where does the superior vena cava enter?

• The right ventricle

• The right atrium

• The left ventricle

• The left atrium

What is the function of the left ventricle?

• To pump blood to the lungs

• To receive blood from the lungs

• To pump blood to the entire body

• To receive blood from the body

What are the chordae tendineae?

• Blood vessels that supply the heart muscle

• Valves that prevent backflow into the atria

• Strands that hold down the AV valves

• Muscles that open the AV valves

What is the difference between the right and left AV valves?

• The right AV valve has two flaps; the left has three

• The left AV valve has two flaps; the right has three

• The right AV valve is stronger

• The left AV valve is larger

What is the role of the papillary muscles?

• To contract the ventricles

• To pump blood into the atria

• To open the semilunar valves

• To hold down the chordae tendineae

Where does blood go after passing through the aortic semilunar valve?

• To the left atrium

• To the lungs

• To the whole body

• To the right ventricle
