Chapter 44, Problem 4TYK
A characteristic of blood circulation through or to the heart is that:
a. the superior vena cava conveys blood to the head.
b. the inferior vena cava conveys blood to the right atrium.
c. the pulmonary arteries convey blood from the lungs to theleft atrium.
d. the pulmonary veins convey blood into the left ventricle.
e. the aorta branches into two coronary arteries that conveyblood from heart muscle.

When comparing veins and arteries of the same diameter, which of the following statements is not true?
Select one:
a. Veins have fewer smooth muscle fibers.
b. Veins have a larger lumen.
c. Veins have more elastic tissue.
d. Veins have valves.
e. Veins have thinner walls.
The delivery of blood by the left ventricle into the sorta is intermittent, whereas blood flow in the peripheral circulation is usually continuous. Which of the following best explains this difference? A. Arteries contain more elastic tissue than veins .
B Capillary walls contain little elastic or muscular tissue . C. Continuous flow is needed to meet metabolic requirements.
D. Passive recoil of the arteries delivers blood to the periphery during diastole
E . Rhythmic contractions of arterial smooth muscie increase the diastolic pressure to above zero
All of the following mechanisms assist in returning venous blood to the heart except: a. an increase in heart rate b. pressure changes in the abdominal and thoracic cavities due to breathing c. contraction of skeletal muscles in the legs d. one-way valves located inside veins
