Multiple choice
  1. Brachial artery

  2. Renal artery

  3. Radial artery

  4. Ulnar artery

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

One quarter of the total blood output from the heart comes to the kidneys along the renal artery. Two renal arteries arise from the abdominal section of the aorta, each artery supplies a lobe of the kidney. The incoming artery divides into four or five branches, eventually forming arterioles, each of which leads to the compact ball of capillaries called the glomerulus.

Multiple choice
  1. heart attack

  2. angina pain

  3. asthma

  4. nasal congestion

  5. low blood pressure

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

This answer is correct. Angina is caused by reduced blood flow to the heart muscle. The blood carries oxygen which is needed by the heart muscle in order to survive.

Multiple choice
  1. Blood vessels

  2. Lungs

  3. The heart

  4. The aorta

  5. All of the above

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

This answer is correct. The heart is the central pumping organ of the blood vascular system. The pure blood is pumped from here and impure blood is pumped back, i.e. the control of blood circulation is carried out from the heart. Hence, it works like a central power station of the body.

Multiple choice
  1. Left ventricle

  2. Right ventricle

  3. Left atrium

  4. Pulmonary artery

  5. Pulmonary vein

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

This is the correct answer. The right ventricle pumps blood into the pulmonary trunk, which divides into the pulmonary arteries going to the lungs; then blood is returned to the left atrium from the lungs through the pulmonary veins. This is called the pulmonary circulation. Hence, this part is not involved.

Multiple choice
  1. Tissue fluid----> Lymph vessels----> Thoracic duct & Right Lymphatic duct----> Veins

  2. Lymph vessels----> Tissue fluid----> Thoracic duct & Right Lymphatic duct----> Veins

  3. Veins----> Tissue fluid----> Lymph vessels----> Thoracic duct & Right Lymphatic duct

  4. Tissue fluid----> Thoracic duct & Right Lymphatic duct----> Veins----> Lymph vessels

  5. None of these

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

This answer is the correct path. Tissue fluid enters tiny channels called lymph vessels, which ultimately drain into two large lymph vessels called thoracic duct and the right lymphatic duct. These open into veins returning the lymph finally into venous blood and thus, in the general circulatory system.

Multiple choice
  1. Only (a) and (b)

  2. Only (a) and (c)

  3. Only (b) and (d)

  4. Only (b) and (c)

  5. All of the above

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

This is the correct answer. The blood pressure is low in veins because the blood flows through narrow arterioles and capillaries to enter wider veins. There are many valves inside the veins. These valves permit the flow of blood in the veins towards the heart and prevent blood flow in the reverse direction.

Multiple choice
  1. glands

  2. organs

  3. blood

  4. cells

B Correct answer
Explanation

Transplantation refers to the surgical procedure of transferring organs, tissues, or cells from one body to another or within the same body. Common examples include kidney, liver, and heart transplants. While blood transfusions and cell transplants exist, the term typically refers to whole organs.
