Cardiovascular system

The fibrous sac around the heart is called the:

• pericardium

• endocardium

• epicardium

• myocardium

The heart is composed of three layers. What are the layers from the outermost to the innermost?

• epicardium, myocardium, endocardium

• myocardium, endocardium, epicardium

• endocardium, pericardium, myocardium

• endocardium, epicardium, myocardium

What structure divides the heart into Right and Left sides, essentially creating two pumps?

• atrioventricular valves

• septum

• pericardium

• semilunar valves

The valve between the Right atrium and Right ventricle is:

• aortic

• pulmonary

• tricuspid

• mitral

Another name for the Left atrioventricular valve is:

• aortic

• tricuspid

• mitral or bicuspid

• semilunar

The outflow valve from the Left ventricle is:

• Left atrioventricular

• aortic

• Right atrioventricular

• pulmonic

Through which valve does blood travel when leaving the Left atrium?

• mitral or bicuspid

• tricuspid

• aortic

• pulmonary

The Right atrium receives blood from the:

• aorta

• pulmonary veins

• vena cava (inferior & superior)

• pulmonary arteries

Listening to body sounds, such as heart sounds, using a stethoscope is called:

• percussion

• angiography

• palpation

• auscultation

The aortic and pulmonary valves are also known as:

• flapper valves

• cuspid valves

• atrioventricular valves

• semilunar valves
