Label the figure below (A-E): A: B: (In blue) C: D: E:
The fossa ovalis marks the place of an opening between the atria which is present in all developing fetuses. It allows fetal blood to move directly from right to left atrium, bypassing he undeveloped lungs. The fossa ovalis closes during birth so that the lungs can receive oxygen once the baby is born.
Your Answer: A: Aorta B: Right ventricle C: Bicuspid D: Left atrium E: Pulmonary trunk
Your Answer: Right coronary artery. Anterior Interventricular Branch (partial credit if only the Left Coronary Artery is listed)
Name the vessel in the figure below: (highlighted in blue, also indicated by the arrow) Your Answer: Right marginal artery. Right marginal artery
Coorrrecctt! Brachiocephalic vein Superior vena cava arteries have palpable pulses, not veins Subclavian artery Subclavian vein Which vessel would you expect to be the best place to feel a strong pulse?
Coorrrecctt! Vein → venule → capillary → arteriole → artery Artery → capillary → arteriole → venule → vein Arteriole → artery → capillary → vein → venule Artery → arteriole → capillary → venule → vein What is the correct order of blood flow starting from the heart?
Coorrrecctt! (^) False Veins
Coorrrecctt! Aortic arch Subclavian Common carotid Brachiocephalic The left and right veins carry blood directly into the superior vena cava.
A patient had a stroke in their frontal lobe. What vessel was most likely blocked?
Coorrrecctt! Subendothelial tissue Tunica intima Tunica media Tunica externa Which layer of a vessel helps anchor it to the surrounding structures?
Use the figure below to answer the following question. Portion A is filled with air. Which part of the medical equipment shown below ( B-F ) releases the air from A?
Your Answer: Posterioir cerebral Posterior Cerebral (PCA)
Coorrrecctt! False True True or False: The cell portion of blood is called formed elements.
Your Answer: E. E. The valve
Coorrrecctt! Prothrombin is converted to thrombin. Platelets becomes trapped in a fibrin network of threads. Fibrin is converted to fibrinogen. Plasmin destroy the fibrin network. Which statement is false concerning the events in the coagulation cascade?
Coorrrecctt! Right, systemic circuit Left, pulmonary circuit Right, pulmonary circuit Left, systemic circuit Oxygenated blood is pumped from heart through the to the rest of the body.
Lymphocyte
Coorrrecctt! The electrical activity cannot be read on an EKG P-wave QRS complex T-wave You are reviewing your patient’s results from an EKG. The findings indicate a problem with ventricular repolarization. Where should you look on the EKG to find this abnormal rhythm?
oou Annswwerreed The pacemaker of the heart is the: Bundle of His AV node Coorrrecctt! (^) SA node Purkinje fibers Your patient’s EKG results indicate difficulty with left and right ventricular systole. What part of the conduction system is not functioning properly? Atrioventricular node.
Coorrrecctt! All the above Swollen ankles Shortness of breath at rest A patient has a diagnosis of right sided heart failure. Which of the following signs/symptoms would they most likely present with?
Coorrrecctt! To convert fibrinogen to fibrin To help dissolve blood clots To calm your patient’s anxiety To make your patient sleep A patient is admitted to the ER with a thromboembolism. Your patient is given t-PA. Why?
The left side of the heart would be in failure. If the left side of the heart cannot pump blood out to the body tissues efficiently, blood and fluid will back up into the lungs.
Your patient is admitted to the hospital for a coronary artery bypass. Use your own words to explain to your patient about what is going to happen in this surgery. Your Answer: In a coronary bypass, the surgeon will use a part of another vein, usually one from the leg, and stitch it to the area past the point of the obstruction and stitch the other end to the aorta. This way, blood need not flow to the point of blockage, but has an alternative route.
Your patient has a diagnosis of atherosclerosis. Is your patient at a higher or lower risk for a thromboembolism? Explain your reasoning. Your Answer: They would be at higher risk of a thromboembolism. This is because one with atherosclerosis has an accumulation of fatty deposits in their arteries, which can build-up, called plaque. The plaque can cause blood clots to form on the wall of the artery and it can even disloge, causing issues for the rest of the body depending on where it settles. Higher risk. Thromboembolism is an embolus that becomes lodged in a vessel as it travels. Atherosclerosis is an accumulation of soft masses of fatty materials, often cholesterol, inside arteries. These deposits called plaque accumulate beneath the inner linings of arteries. Plaque can cause a clot to form on the irregular arterial wall. If the clot becomes dislodged it can travel and clog a smaller artery in its path.
