1.1 Structure, functions and adaptations to the body's systems

Which ventricle is responsible for pumping blood to the body?

• Left ventricle

• Right ventricle

• Both ventricles

• Neither ventricle

What is the role of the pulmonary artery in the circulatory system?

• To carry oxygenated blood to the body

• To carry deoxygenated blood to the lungs

• To receive oxygenated blood from the lungs

• To receive deoxygenated blood from the body

What is the role of the atrioventricular valves?

• Prevent backflow from arteries into ventricles

• Prevent backflow from ventricles to atria

• Prevent backflow from veins to arteries

• Prevent backflow from atria to ventricles

What is the main function of the coronary arteries?

• To supply oxygenated blood to the heart muscle

• To carry deoxygenated blood to the lungs

• To transport nutrients to the brain

• To remove waste from the kidneys

In the pulmonary circuit, where is blood pumped?

• From the heart to the body

• From the heart to the lungs and back

• From the heart to the brain

• From the heart to the kidneys

What are the two types of circulation from the heart?

• Systemic and digestive circulation

• Pulmonary and digestive circulation

• Systemic and pulmonary circulation

• Pulmonary and nervous circulation

What is the function of the pulmonary artery?

• Carry oxygenated blood to the body

• Carry deoxygenated blood to the lungs

• Carry nutrients to the heart

• Carry waste away from the body

Which side of the heart deals with oxygenated blood?

• Right side

• Left side

• Both sides

• Neither side

What is the primary function of systemic circulation?

• To transport oxygen-poor blood to the lungs

• To transport nutrients and oxygen to the body's tissues

• To remove waste products from the lungs

• To circulate blood within the heart

What waste product is removed by systemic circulation?

• Oxygen

• Carbon dioxide

• Nitrogen

• Hydrogen
