Worked practice questions

A student counts the chambers of the human heart. The total is:

  1. Four
  2. Nine
  3. Five
  4. Six
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Four

1. Each side has an atrium. 2. Each side also has a ventricle. 3. So there are four chambers. _Source: OpenStax Anatomy and Physiology 2e, Chapter 19, The Cardiovascular System: The Heart._

Which chambers act as the main pumping chambers of the heart?

  1. Vesicles
  2. Ventricles
  3. Ventricules
  4. Vestibules
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Ventricles

1. The atria only pass blood on. 2. The lower chambers do the hard work. 3. Those are the ventricles. _Source: OpenStax Anatomy and Physiology 2e, Chapter 19, The Cardiovascular System: The Heart._

The right ventricle pumps deoxygenated blood into the:

  1. Pulmonary trunk
  2. Pulmonary cavity
  3. Pulmonary capsule
  4. Pulmonary corpus
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Pulmonary trunk

1. The blood is heading to the lungs. 2. One large vessel carries it there. 3. That vessel is the pulmonary trunk. _Source: OpenStax Anatomy and Physiology 2e, Chapter 19, The Cardiovascular System: The Heart._
