your reproductive system
your nervous system
The apex of the heart is
the top, nearest your brain.
the front, nearest your ribcage.
the bottom, nearest your stomach.
Athletes' hearts are heavier than average because:
like any muscle, they grow denser with use.
the damage caused by working out too much leaves scar tissue.
athletes need less oxygen than the average human.
The purpose of the valves in your heart is to:
provide pressure relief.
maintain the direction of blood flow.
provide the blood with oxygen.
Which cavity in the heart receives deoxygenated blood?
vena cava
right atrium
right ventricle

heart
lungs
pulse
Put the follow in order to show the pattern of blood flow from the body to the lungs. Be sure to start with BODY and end with LUNGS
right ventricle
pulmonary artery
lungs
body
right atrium
vena cava
Ultimately, veins and arteries are defined most by:
their different shapes
whether they carry oxygenated blood
whether they carry blood to or away from the heart
The specific route for circulation that passes through the liver is:
pulmonary
lymphatic
hepatic
Which of the following is characteristic of a patient with atherosclerosis?
can't breathe properly
has high blood pressure
