  3. Hemoglobin

  4. Pulmonary

  5. Sphygmomanometer

  6. Ventricles
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The pulmonary artery is the artery that carries blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs for oxygenation. It is involved in the pulmonary circulation of the cardiovascular system.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Pulmonary'.

Multiple choice biology transport in mammals cardiac cycle heart, blood vessels and cardiac cycle human heart

Choose the correct answer from the alternatives given.
Blood travels from heart to lungs byway of the:

  1. Pulmonary artery

  2. Pulmonary vein

  3. Anterior vena cava

  4. Posterior vena cava
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

  • Pulmonary artery and the Pulmonary vein are a set of blood vessels that are related to the lungs. 
  • The Pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs for oxygenation, this oxygenated blood is carried back to the heart by the Pulmonary vein for systemic circulation i.e. for ​circulation to different parts of the body.
So, the correct option is 'Pulmonary artery'.

Pulmonary artery originates from the:

  1. right ventricle

  2. left ventricle

  3. right auricle

  4. left auricle
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Pulmonary artery and the Pulmonary vein are a set of blood vessels that are related to the lungs. The Pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs for oxygenation, this oxygenated blood is carried back to the heart by the Pulmonary vein for systemic circulation i.e. for ​circulation to different parts of the body.

So, the correct option is 'Right Ventricle'.

Multiple choice biology transport in mammals cardiac cycle heart, blood vessels and cardiac cycle human heart

When the right ventricle of heart of man contracts then blood is pumped into

  1. Superior vena cava

  2. Dorsal aorta

  3. Pulmonary artery

  4. Pulmonary vein
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The pulmonary artery is the vessel transporting de-oxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs. Deoxygenated blood from the systemic circulation enters the right atrium from the superior and inferior venae cavae and passes to the right ventricle. From here it is pumped into the pulmonary circulation through the pulmonary artery, to the lungs where it receives oxygen and gives off carbon dioxide. 

So, the correct answer is option C.

Multiple choice biology transport in mammals cardiac cycle heart, blood vessels and cardiac cycle human heart

Choose correct alternative in the following statements:
The only artery which carries deoxygenated blood is called

  1. Hepatic artery

  2. Pulmonary artery

  3. Aorta

  4. Renal artery
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

  • The only artery which carries deoxygenated blood is called the pulmonary artery. It carries deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle into the lungs for oxygenation. 
  • Hepatic artery is a short blood vessel that supplies oxygenated blood to the liver.
  • Aorta is the largest artery in the body. It carries oxygenated blood from left ventricle to the other parts of the body.
  • Renal artery carries oxygenated blood to kidneys.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Pulmonary artery'.

Multiple choice biology transport in mammals cardiac cycle heart, blood vessels and cardiac cycle human heart

Choose the correct answer from the alternatives given.
Which of the following blood vessels carries oxygen poor blood from the heart to lungs?

  1. Pulmonary vein

  2. Pulmonary artery

  3. Carotid artery

  4. Aorta
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Pulmonary veins are responsible for carrying oxygenated blood from the lungs back to the left atrium of the heart. The pulmonary artery is responsible for transporting oxygen-depleted blood away from the heart and back toward the lungs. Carotid artery is present in the neck region and supply blood to the brain, neck, and face. The aorta is the artery that carries blood away from the heart to the rest of the body. So, the correct option is 'Pulmonary artery'.

Multiple choice biology transport in mammals cardiac cycle heart, blood vessels and cardiac cycle human heart

Choose the correct answer from the alternatives given.
Which of the following parts of the heart pumps blood to lungs?

  1. Left atrium

  2. Right atrium

  3. Left ventricle

  4. Right ventricle
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Right atrium is just below the right atrium and receives deoxygenated blood from the right atrium and then pumps this deoxygenated blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery.

So, the correct option is 'Right atrium'.

Blood is not a tissue because it is a fluid

  1. True

  2. False
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Blood is considered a connective tissue due to two basic reasons: (1) Embryologically, it has the same origin (mesodermal) as other connective tissues (2) Blood connects the body systems together and transports the required oxygen, nutrients, hormones and other signaling molecules, and removes the wastes. 
So, the correct answer is option B.

Multiple choice biology soldiers of defense human lymphatic system lymph and its function lymph and tissue fluid

In the human circulation, the lymph

  1. Transports oxygen to brain
  2. Transports $CO _2$ to lungs

  3. Returns interstitial fluid back to heart

  4. Contains RBCs, leucocyte, and more protein as compared to blood
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Lymphatic system is a network present throughout all tissues in the body. It removes wastes, bacteria and excess water from the tissue fluid. The fluid present in the lymphatic vessels is called as lymph. In lymph, escaped blood cells and proteins are collected and returned back to the heart in the form of interstitial fluid. Interstitial fluid is a fluid that bathes the cells of multicellular animals.

Thus, the correct answer is 'Returns interstitial fluid back to heart.'

When there is a sudden loss of blood from the body, the organ which supplies blood is?

  1. Spleen

  2. Heart

  3. Liver

  4. Lung
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The spleen is the largest lymphatic organ in the body and is positioned in the superior abdomen. The spleen plays important roles in regard to red blood cells and the immune system. It removes old red blood cells and holds a reserve of blood, which can be valuable in case of hemorrhagic shock, blood loss and also recycles iron. It purifies the blood and helps the immune system to recognize and attack foreign antibodies and disease. The spleen is composed of the red and white pulp. The white pulp produces and grows immune cell as well as blood cells. On the other hand, the red pulp is responsible for purifying the blood and removing dead or old blood cells.

Lymph drains excess fluid from extracellular space back into

  1. Blood

  2. Lymph node

  3. Lymphatic channel

  4. Lymph gland
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Lymph is a colourless fluid and connective tissue. It carries an excess of the extracellular fluid back to the venous system or it absorbs the excess fluid from the tissue and to return it to the blood. Lymphatic capillaries join and form lymphatic vessels further it forms lymphatic ducts. It is of two types: thoracic duct and right lymphatic duct. A small bean- shaped lymphoid organ surrounded by fibrous connective tissue carries fluid, nutrients & waste material between the body are lymph nodes or lymph glands.

Thus, the correct answer is A.

Which of the following is blood bank of the body or reservoir, where the blood is stored and can be mobilized?

  1. Heart

  2. Liver

  3. Bone marrow

  4. Spleen
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation
The spleen is an organ in the upper far left part of the abdomen, to the left of the stomach. It’s commonly fist-shaped, purple, and about 4 inches long.
It is known as the blood bank because its blood reserve can be valuable in case of hemorrhagic shocks. 
It acts as a filter for blood as part of the immune system. Old red blood cells are recycled in the spleen, and platelets and white blood cells are stored there. The spleen also helps fight certain kinds of bacteria that cause pneumonia and meningitis. Hence, the correct answer is option D.
