Quiz: Introduction to the Cardiovascular System
Summary of quiz results:
Please review your answers below.
The cardiovascular system begins to develop and reaches a functional state after the development of other major organ systems.
True
False
The function of the heart is vital because, to survive, the tissues need a continuous supply of oxygen and nutrients and metabolic waste products have to be removed from them.
True
False
The normal adult heart pumps about 5 liters of blood every hour throughout life.
True
False
The outer layer of the heart wall is the myocardium, the middle layer is the epicardium, and the inner layer is the endocardium.
True
False
When the ventricles contract, atrioventricular valves close to prevent blood from flowing back into the atria. When the ventricles relax, semilunar valves close to prevent blood from flowing back into the ventricles.
True
False
Because the sinoatrial node establishes the basic rhythm of the heartbeat, it is called the pacemaker of the heart.
True
False
Based on their structure and function, blood vessels are classified as the pulmonary vessels, the systemic vessels, arteries, capillaries, or veins.
True
False
Capillaries form the connection between the vessels that carry blood away from the heart and the vessels that return blood to the heart.
True
False
As the total cross-sectional area of the vessels increases, the velocity of flow also increases.
True
False
The pump for the pulmonary circuit, which circulates blood through the lungs, is the left ventricle.
True
False
