Pulmonary veins return the oxygenated blood from the lungs to:
| 1. | right atrium | 2. | left atrium |
| 3. | right ventricle | 4. | left ventricle |
Erythrocytes in humans are destroyed mainly in:
| 1. | liver and spleen | 2. | heart and lungs |
| 3. | bone marrow | 4. | kidney |
The most common WBC under normal physiological conditions are:
| 1. | Neutrophils | 2. | Macrophages |
| 3. | Monocytes | 4. | Lymphocytes |
The chamber with the thickest musculature in the human heart would be:
| 1. | the right atrium | 2. | the left atrium |
| 3. | the left ventricle | 4. | the right ventricle |
Sympathetic stimulation would lead to:
| 1. | increased heart rate. |
| 2. | increased stroke volume. |
| 3. | vasoconstriction in visceral blood vessels. |
| 4. | all of the above. |
The innermost layer of blood vessel walls made up of one layer of endothelium and in direct contact with the blood is:
| 1. tunica adventitia | 2. tunica intima |
| 3. tunica media | 4. tunica muscularis |
The build-up of fats, cholesterol and other substances in and on the artery walls is known as:
| 1. | arteriosclerosis | 2. | atherosclerosis |
| 3. | aneurysm | 4. | anastomosis |
Cardiac output is defined as
1. blood pressure X stroke volume.
2. peripheral resistance X heart rate.
3. heart rate X stroke volume.
4. Systolic pressure – diastolic pressure.
A person has a complete blood count done. Which of the following would not be normal?
| 1. | total RBC count - 5.0 million /µL |
| 2. | total WBC count – 1500 /µL |
| 3. | total platelet count - 225,000 /µL |
| 4. | hemoglobin – 14.5 g / 100 ml |
What is true for the blood Type O?
| 1. | It is universal donor because it has neither anti-A antibodies nor anti-B antibodies circulating in the plasma. |
| 2. | It is universal donor because it has neither antigen A nor antigen B on its RBCs. |
| 3. | It is universal recipient because it has neither anti-A antibodies nor anti-B antibodies circulating in the plasma. |
| 4. | It is universal recipient because it has neither antigen A nor antigen B on its RBCs. |
