question
Why do the circulatory systems of land vertebrates have separate circuits to the lungs and to the rest of the body? A Blood is pumped to the lungs to be oxygenated before being pumped to the rest of the body. B The circuits increase the amount of surface area available for the diffusion of gases and nutrients in the body. C Land vertebrates are bigger and require more tubing to reach all areas of the body. D The large decrease in blood pressure as blood moves through the lungs may prevent efficient circulation through the rest of the body.
answer
D; The changes in blood pressure as blood moves through the lungs of land-dwelling vertebrates make it necessary to have separate circuits to the lungs and the rest of the body.
question
True or false? The circulatory systems of land-dwelling vertebrates are composed of two pumping circuits: the systemic circulation, which is a lower-pressure circuit to the lung, and the pulmonary circulation, which is a higher-pressure circuit to the rest of the body
answer
False; The pulmonary circulation is the lower-pressure circuit to the lung, whereas the systemic circulation is the higher-pressure circuit to the rest of the body.
question
What is the function of the left ventricle? A It receives deoxygenated blood from the lungs. B It pumps oxygenated blood around the body via the systemic circulation. C It receives oxygenated blood from the lungs. D It pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs via the pulmonary circulation.
answer
B; The left ventricle receives oxygenated blood from the lungs and pumps it to the rest of the body.
question
Which of the following statements about blood circulation in the body is true? A As the right ventricle contracts, it sends oxygenated blood through the aorta to all tissues of the body. B Deoxygenated blood flowing through the pulmonary veins is carried to the right atrium. C During one cardiac cycle, the two ventricles contract first, and then the two atria contract. D Valves prevent the backflow of blood into the atria and ventricles.
answer
D; Valves are flaps of tissue that close when the ventricles contract to prevent the backflow of blood into the atria and also when the ventricles relax to prevent the backflow of blood from exiting vessels to the ventricles.
question
Which event occurs first during diastole? Which event occurs first during diastole? A The atria contract while blood flows into the relaxed ventricles. B The atria and ventricles are relaxed, and blood flows into the atria. C The atria and ventricles contract simultaneously. D Blood flows into the relaxed atria while the ventricles contract.
answer
B; Diastole is the relaxation phase of the cardiac cycle during which the chambers of the heart are relaxed and blood can enter them passively.
question
Which event of the cardiac cycle occurs when systolic blood pressure is measured? A The ventricles contract, carrying blood into the aorta, and blood flows into the relaxed atria. B The atria and ventricles contract simultaneously. C The atria contract while blood flows into the relaxed ventricles. D The atria and ventricles are relaxed, and blood flows into the atria.
answer
A;The systolic blood pressure is the peak blood pressure, resulting from contraction of the ventricles.
question

B are the route by which blood flows from the atria to the ventricles. C are found only on the right side of the heart. D are at the places where the anterior and posterior venae cavae empty into the heart. E are the attachment site where the pulmonary veins empty into the heart.
answer

question
Which of the following develops the greatest pressure on the blood in the mammalian aorta? A systole of the left ventricle B diastole of the right atrium C systole of the left atrium D diastole of the left atrium E diastole of the right ventricle
answer
A
question
Why does the velocity of blood slow greatly as blood flows from arterioles into capillaries? A Because the narrow capillaries offer great resistance to blood flow. B Because capillary beds have a total cross-sectional area much greater than the total cross-sectional area of the arterioles. C Because capillary beds are the site of nutrient and oxygen delivery to tissues.
answer
B; Because the cross-sectional area is much greater in capillary beds than in the arteries or any other part of the circulatory system, there is a dramatic decrease in velocity from the arteries to the capillaries. Blood travels 500 times slower in the capillaries (about 0.1 cm/sec) than in the aorta (about 48 cm/sec). Read about blood flow velocity.
question
Stroke occurs when _____. A a blood clot enters the cerebral circulation, blocking an artery and causing the death of brain tissue B the pacemaker of the heart becomes defective, producing an irregular heartbeat C a blood clot dislodges from a vein and moves into the lung, where it blocks a pulmonary artery D a blood clot enters and blocks one of the coronary arteries E the walls of an artery in the leg accumulate deposits and lose their flexibility and elasticity
answer
A; Once deprived of oxygen, brain cells begin to die within a few minutes. Because brain cells rarely divide in adulthood, they cannot be quickly replaced.
question
What will be the long-term effect of blocking the lymphatic vessels associated with a capillary bed? A the area of the blockage becoming abnormally small B the accumulation of more fluid in the interstitial areas C fewer proteins leaking out of the blood to enter the interstitial fluid D an increase in the blood pressure in the capillary bed E more fluid entering the venous capillaries

question
Oxygen binding to hemoglobin:
answer
When one molecule of oxygen binds to one of hemoglobin's four subunits, the other subunits change shape slightly, increasing their affinity for oxygen.
question
Oxygen release from hemoglobin:
answer
When four oxygen molecules are bound to hemoglobin's subunits and one subunit releases its oxygen, the other three subunits change shape again. This causes them to release their oxygen more readily.
question

answer
This is a measure of the amount of oxygen present in a tissue
question
oxygen saturation of hemoglobin (O2 saturation).
answer
This is the percentage of oxygen-binding sites on hemoglobin molecules that are actually bound to oxygen.
question
____ in carbon dioxide in your red blood cells, which causes _____ in pH, causes your breathing to speed up. A An increase ... a rise B A decrease ... a drop C A decrease ... a rise D An increase ... a drop E Actually, it is the rise and fall of oxygen, not carbon dioxide, that controls breathing.
answer
D; Water and carbon dioxide combine, in the presence of the enzyme carbonic anhydrase (found inside red blood cells), to form carbonic acid, which dissociates to hydrogen ion and bicarbonate. The higher concentration of hydrogen ions leads to a drop in pH.
