Heart Anatomy Lab Practical Review

What is the primary function of the heart in the human body?

• To filter toxins from the blood

• To produce red blood cells

• To pump blood throughout the body

• To absorb nutrients from food

DOK Level 1: Recall

Which of the following blood vessels carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart?

• Pulmonary artery

• Pulmonary vein

• Aorta

• Inferior vena cava

DOK Level 1: Recall

What is the correct sequence of blood flow through the heart starting from the vena cava?

• Right atrium → Right ventricle → Pulmonary artery → Lungs → Pulmonary vein → Left atrium → Left ventricle → Aorta

• Right atrium → Left atrium → Right ventricle → Left ventricle → Pulmonary artery → Lungs → Pulmonary vein → Aorta

• Left atrium → Left ventricle → Pulmonary vein → Lungs → Pulmonary artery → Right atrium → Right ventricle → Aorta

• Pulmonary vein → Left atrium → Left ventricle → Aorta → Right atrium → Right ventricle → Pulmonary artery → Lungs

DOK Level 2: Skill/Concept

Discuss the role of valves in the heart and how they contribute to the unidirectional flow of blood.

• Valves prevent the backflow of blood, ensuring it moves efficiently in a single direction through the heart and body.

• Valves regulate the blood pressure within the heart chambers to prevent damage to the heart muscle.

• Valves oxygenate the blood as it passes through the heart, improving its efficiency.

• Valves absorb shock from the high-pressure blood ejected from the heart, protecting the arteries.

DOK Level 3: Strategic Thinking

Analyze the impact of a blockage in the coronary arteries on heart function.

• It would increase the efficiency of the heart by reducing the blood volume in the coronary circulation.

• It would have no significant impact as the heart can compensate by increasing the size of other arteries.

• It could lead to heart muscle damage or heart attack due to reduced blood supply and oxygen to the heart muscle.

• It would speed up the heart rate to compensate for the reduced blood flow, improving heart function.
