Questions Related to blood and blood vessels

The component of the circulatory system is/are

  1. Arteries

  2. Heart

  3. Veins

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Circulatory system or cardiovascular system is the organ system that helps to transport oxygen, nutrients, hormones etc to all the cell of the body. It consists of heart, veins, arteries, capillaries. Thus, the correct answer is option D.

Vasoconstriction mainly causes

  1. Increase in heart beat

  2. Decrease in heart beat

  3. Increase in blood pressure

  4. Decrease in blood pressure.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Vaso means vessels and constriction means narrowing, therefore, narrowing of blood vessels results in vasoconstriction. Normally, it is done due to the shrinking of smooth muscles of vessels to react according to the environment by raising blood pressure for stabilization, prevent loss of heat, control blood flow in body, transfer nutrients and prevent from blood and fluid loss but in some cases it can also be a severe health problem leading to hypertension or high bp.

So the correct option is 'Increase in blood pressure'

Circulatory system does not help in

  1. Transport of gases

  2. Transport of nutrients

  3. Transport of hormones

  4. Passage of impulses.


Correct Option: D

The pumping action of the heart is due to the 

  1. Bones of the heart

  2. Muscles of the heart

  3. Spaces in the heart

  4. Both B and C


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The Human circulatory system consists of a muscular four-chambered heart, a network of closed branching blood vessels and blood, the fluid which is circulated. The heart is a  4 chambered muscular organ present in the thoracic cavity in between the lungs. it does not have any bones. The chambers(spaces) of blood are filled with blood.T he muscular action of heart walls pump blood throughout the body through blood vessels. Hence the pumping 

So, the correct answer is 'Both B and C'.

The heart is slightly tilted towards the 

  1. Right side

  2. Not tilted at all

  3. Left side

  4. Upper side


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The human circulatory system consists of a muscular four-chambered heart, a network of closed branching blood vessels and blood, the fluid which is circulated. The heart is mesodermal in origin. It is situated in the thoracic cavity, in between the two lungs. The heart is slightly tilted towards the left side because the right lung is larger than the left lung. This condition provides the heart with enough space to function properly and pump blood efficiently to different parts of the body.

So, the correct answer is 'Left side'.
