Anatomy and Physiology of the Cardiovascular System

This artery is the only artery in the body to carry deoxygenated blood:

• Aorta

• Pulmonary Artery

• Coronary Arteries

• Hepatic Arteries

Oxygenated blood from the lungs re-enters this chamber:

• Right atrium

• Right ventricle

• Left atrium

• Left ventricle

This side of the heart pumps oxygenated blood:

• Right side

• Left side

• Both sides

• Neither side

Deoxygenated blood travels from the right atrium to the right ventricle through this valve:

• Mitral Valve

• Aortic Valve

• Pulmonary Valve

• Tricuspid Valve

This valve allows the passage of blood from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery:

• Tricuspid Valve

• Mitral Valve

• Aortic Valve

• Pulmonary Valve

This structure prevents the backwards movement of blood:

• Ventricle

• Valve

• Atrium

• Vein

The only veins in the body that carry oxygenated blood are the:

• Vena Cava

• Pulmonary Veins

• Pulmonary Arteries

• Venules

The chordae tendineae prevent the prolapse of:

• The aortic valve

• The pulmonary valve

• The atrioventricular valves

• The semi-lunar valves

The semi-lunar valves include:

• The bicuspid and the tricuspid

• The tricuspid and the aortic valve

• The aortic valve and the bicuspid

• The aortic valve and the pulmonary valve

Which valves separate ventricles and arteries?

• The semi-lunar valves

• The atrioventricular valves
