Question 1

Which of the following is a short artery that further divides into the gastric,splenic,and hepatic arteries?

Accepted Answer

The celiac trunk is a short artery that branches into the gastric, splenic, and hepatic arteries. The portal vein is a vein that carries blood from the digestive organs to the liver. The Circle of Willis is a circular arrangement of blood vessels in the brain. The renal artery is an artery that supplies blood to the kidneys.

Question 2

Which blood vessel supplies oxygenated blood to the small intestine and parts of the large intestine?

Accepted Answer

The superior mesenteric artery supplies blood to the small intestine and parts of the large intestine.

Question 3

Which of the following blood vessels brings unoxygenated blood to the liver?

Accepted Answer

The portal vein brings unoxygenated blood to the liver from the digestive system, spleen, and pancreas. The celiac trunk brings oxygenated blood to the liver. The jugular vein brings unoxygenated blood from the head and neck to the heart. The hepatic veins bring oxygenated blood from the liver to the inferior vena cava.

Question 4

The correct flow of blood is: ascending aorta$\rightarrow$arch of the aorta $\rightarrow$descending aorta $\rightarrow$ _____ artery.

Accepted Answer

After the descending aorta, the blood flows into the common iliac arteries which supply the pelvis, legs, and feet. The carotid, axillary, and brachial arteries are not directly connected to the ascending, arch or descending aorta.

Question 5

Which blood vessel carries unoxygenated blood?

Accepted Answer

The pulmonary artery carries blood from the heart to the lungs to be oxygenated, so it carries unoxygenated blood.

Question 6

Which is the longest vein in the body that is located in the lower extremity?

Accepted Answer

The saphenous vein is the longest vein in the body, running from the foot to the groin in the lower extremity.

Question 7

Which of the following emerges from the descending aorta?

Accepted Answer

The common iliac arteries emerge from the descending aorta and supply blood to the pelvic region and legs. The coronary arteries arise from the aorta just above the heart, the carotid artery arises from the aortic arch, and the brachiocephalic artery arises from the aortic arch as well.

Question 8

The correct flow of blood is: placenta $\rightarrow$umbilical vein $\rightarrow$ ductus venosus $\rightarrow$

Accepted Answer

The correct flow of blood from the placenta in a fetus involves the umbilical vein carrying oxygenated blood from the placenta to the fetus, where it then passes through the ductus venosus to bypass the liver and directly enter the inferior vena cava, mixing with deoxygenated blood before entering the right atrium of the heart.

Question 9

All arteries directly or indirectly emerge from which large artery?

Accepted Answer

The aorta is a large artery that emerges from the left ventricle of the heart and is the main artery of the body. All other arteries, either directly or indirectly, arise from the aorta. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.

Question 10

Which of the following is least true of the common iliac arteries?

Accepted Answer

The common iliac arteries do not contain valves that direct blood into the femoral arteries. Option A, B, and C are true statements about the common iliac arteries.

Question 11

The correct flow of blood is: thoracic aorta $\rightarrow$abdominal aorta $\rightarrow$ common iliac artery$\rightarrow$

Accepted Answer

The correct flow of blood from the abdominal aorta is through the common iliac artery, which further branches into the external iliac artery. Therefore, option A is the correct choice.

Question 12

Blood pressure is lowest in the

Accepted Answer

Blood pressure is lowest in the veins, with the inferior vena cava being a large vein that carries blood from the lower and middle body into the heart, thus experiencing some of the lowest pressures in the circulatory system.

Question 13

What is the "main vein that drains the brain"?

Accepted Answer

The jugular vein is the main vein that drains the brain.

Question 14

The radial,median cubital,and basilic veins

Accepted Answer

The radial, median cubital, and basilic veins are all found in the arms, and are important for venous blood flow in the upper extremities. They are not part of the hepatic portal circulation or involved in draining the brain, and while they do ultimately drain into the inferior vena cava, this is not the best answer as it does not fully describe their function in the body.

Question 15

The correct flow of blood is: axillary vein$\rightarrow$subclavian vein à brachiocephalic vein $\rightarrow$ superior vena cava $\rightarrow$

Accepted Answer

The blood flow through the axillary vein, subclavian vein, and brachiocephalic vein eventually reaches the superior vena cava, which carries blood into the right atrium. From there, the blood will then flow through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle and then to the pulmonary artery.

Question 16

The carotid and vertebral arteries supply the

Accepted Answer

The carotid and vertebral arteries supply blood to the brain. This is important because the brain requires a constant supply of oxygen and nutrients to function properly. These arteries are located in the neck and are responsible for carrying blood to the brain from the heart. If these arteries are blocked or damaged, it can lead to serious brain damage or even death.

Question 17

The common iliac veins drain unoxygenated blood into the

Accepted Answer

The common iliac veins join to form the inferior vena cava, which is a large vein that carries deoxygenated blood from the lower body to the right atrium of the heart. Therefore, option B is the correct choice.

Question 18

The brachial,radial,and ulnar arteries

Accepted Answer

The brachial, radial, and ulnar arteries supply the arm.

Question 19

Which vein begins in the foot,ascends along the medial side,and merges with the femoral vein to become the external iliac vein?

Accepted Answer

The saphenous vein begins in the foot, ascends along the medial side, and merges with the femoral vein to become the external iliac vein.

Question 20

The tibial,peroneal,and popliteal veins

Accepted Answer

The tibial, peroneal, and popliteal veins are found in the lower extremities, specifically the leg.
