(a) 2, 3, 5, 6, (b) 1, 2, 3, 7, (c) 1, 3, 5, 6, (d) 2, 4, 5, 7
____ (1) coronary arteries fill
____ (2) AV valves are closed
____ (3) ventricles are in systole
____ (4) ventricles are in diastole
____ (5) blood enters aorta
____ (6) blood enters pulmonary arteries
____ (7) atria contract
Answer to Problem 1MC
Solution:
(a) 2, 3, 5, 6: The events that occur when the semilunar valves are open are listed as follows:
1. The closing of atrioventricular valves.
2. The ventricles are in the systolic stage.
3. The blood enters the aorta.
4. The blood enters the pulmonary arteries.
Explanation of Solution
The semilunar valve is situated between the left ventricle and aorta of the heart. The opening of the semilunar valves marks the systolic stage. The atrioventricular valves at this stage are closed in order to prevent the backflow of the blood. The blood is pumped to the aorta and the pulmonary artery to distribute it to the different parts of the body.

- Figure 40.11 Which of the following statements about the heart is false? The mitral valve separates the left ventricle from the left atrium. Blood travels through the bicuspid valve to the left atrium. Both the aortic and the pulmonary valves are semilunar valves.

- mr. Holmes, a 72-year-old Caucasian male, suffered a heart attack which resulted in damage to a papillary muscle holding down the mitral valve. As a result the mitral valve is prolapsing with each heartbeat, which enables the backflow of blood.

- Valve regurgitation is yet another condition causing heart failure. This condition is characterized by _________________. 1)the hardening of a valve, narrowing the opening that serves as a passage of blood. 2) a valve that everts back into the previous chamber, blockig blood from progressing into the ventricle. 3) a valve that does not close completely, and allows blood to leak back into the previous chamber. 4)a valve with an opening that is too narrow, not allowing for sufficient blood to travel to the next chamber.arrow_forwardHeart disease is the leading cause of death around the world.
