Solution

Answers

10. (D) capillaries

The exchange takes place in the million of alveoli in the lungs and the capillaries that envelope them . As shown as below , inhaled oxygen moves from the alveoli to the blood in the capillaries , and carbon dioxide moves from the blood in the capillaries to the air in the alveoli .

11. (B) structural heart disease

Abnormal heart rhythm is a problem in the electrical system of the heart . Heart murmur is a heart sound associated with a valve problem

12.(C) myocardium

13.(D) veins

Veins carry blood towards the heart veins contain one way valves which prevents blood flowing backwards

14.(A) 60bpm

5-big boxes =60 beats/min

15. (D) QT

16.(B) 40-60bpm

17. (B) papillary muscles

The chordae tending, colloquially know as the heart strings , are cord like tendons that connect the papillary muscles to the tricuspid valve and the mitral valve in the heart .

18. (C) left atrium

The right and left atria are the top chamber of the heart and receive blood into the heart . The right atrium receives deoxygenated blood from systemic circulation and left atrium receives oxygenated blood from pulmonary circulation .

19. (A) aorta

The pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood from the lungs into the left atrium where it is returned to systemic circulation . The aorta is the largest artery in the body . It carries oxygenated blood from the left ventricle of the heart into systemic circulation .
