(41 cards)
The fibrous skeleton anchors the Blank______ by forming supportive rings at their attachment points.
Multiple choice question.
heart valves
When the ventricles contract and the blood forces its way into the arterial trunks, the Blank______ are open.
semilunar valves
Once gas exchange occurs in the lungs, the oxygenated blood travels through the pulmonary Blank______ to the Blank______ atrium.
Multiple choice question.
veins, left
Oxygenated blood flows from the left atrium, through the left Blank______ when the valve is open, into the left ventricle.
atrioventricular opening
The heart itself (not external nerves) is responsible for initiating the heartbeat, which is Blank______.
autorhythmicity
The contraction of a heart chamber is called Blank______.
systole
A function of the fibrous skeleton is to provide Blank______ insulation between atria and ventricles.
electrical
The blood vessels that extend to all body regions make up the Blank______ circulation.
Multiple choice question.
systemic
Each semilunar valve is composed of Blank______ thin, Blank______ shaped, pocket like semilunar cusps.
three, half-moon
Like the right atrium, the left atrium also has Blank______.
an auricle
The relaxation phase of a heart chamber is termed Blank______.
diastole
Which vessel extends several branches to supply the thoracic wall?
descending thoracic aorta
Which circulation consists of the blood vessels that take the blood to and from the lungs for the purpose of gas exchange?
pulmonary
As blood is pumped by the ventricles into the arterial trunks, it pushes against the cusps, forcing the semilunar valves to Blank______.
open
The veins that drain the head, neck, and upper limbs merge to form the left and right ——- veins
brachiocephalic
Once gas exchange occurs in the lungs, the oxygenated blood travels through the pulmonary Blank______ to the Blank______ atrium.
veins, left
The space within a vessel through which blood flows is the Blank______.
lumen
The ascending aorta curves to immediately become the Blank______.
aortic arch
The carotid artery that enters the skull through the carotid canal and branches into the anterior and middle cerebral arteries and ophthalmic arteries is the ——— carotid artery.
internal
The right and left brachiocephalic veins merge to form the Blank______ vena cava.
superior
branches of the external carotid artery, providing blood to structures in the neck and superficial head?
Ascending pharyngeal artery, lingual artery, facial artery, superior thyroid artery
The common carotid arteries divide into an external and internal carotid artery at the superior border of the Blank______.
thyroid cartilage
Which arteries supply the mammary gland and anterior thoracic wall?
internal thoracic
Which of the following paired arterial branches emerge from the sides of the descending abdominal aorta?
renal arteries, gonadal arteries, and middle suprarenal arteries
