Circulatory System Pretest - MCQs

Circulatory System Pretest - MCQs

• Blood Mixing Prevention (Q1): The septum prevents oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor blood from mixing.
• Heart Muscle Type (Q2): Cardiac muscle is found in the heart.
• Circulatory System Function (Q3): The circulatory system delivers oxygen, nutrients, and removes wastes.
• Incorrect Order (Q4): The incorrect order is Right ventricle → left ventricle → aorta. (Correct should be Right ventricle → pulmonary artery → lungs → pulmonary vein → left atrium → left ventricle → aorta).
• Circulatory System Function (Q5): Removing wastes, delivering oxygen, and transporting nutrients are functions.
• Capillary Wall Comparison (Q6): Capillary walls are thinner than artery walls.
• Blood Function (Q7): Blood fights infection, regulates body temperature, and transports nutrients.
• Heart Valves (Q8): There are four main valves in a human heart.
• Tricuspid Valve Structure (Q9): The tricuspid valve has three flaps for opening and closing.
• Largest Circulatory Pathway (Q10): Systemic circulation is the largest pathway.

Filling in Blanks

• The circulatory system allows blood to go to every part of the body. Let’s follow a drop of blood through one full cycle in the body. Let’s start in the left ventricle. As the heart contracts, the blood is sent out through the aorta as it goes to the body. It might go to any part of the body. Let’s imagine it goes to the stomach. It goes there through smaller and smaller arteries until eventually it goes into the microscopic blood vessels that are the capillaries. Here, the blood can deliver the oxygen it was carrying and receive in the exchange some carbon dioxide. From there it will come back to the heart through the inferior vena cava. It will re-enter the heart in the right atrium and move down to the right ventricle, before being sent to the lungs through the pulmonary artery. Once it arrives at the lungs, once again it will get into capillaries for another gas exchange. This time the blood will let go of the carbon dioxide and receive oxygen in return. Finally, through the pulmonary vein, the drop of blood will come back to the left atrium before coming down to the left ventricle and starting its journey all over.
