Less oxygen supply to the heart causes

  1. heart attack

  2. angina pain

  3. asthma

  4. nasal congestion

  5. low blood pressure


Correct Option: B
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.

What is the main function of the circulatory system?

  1. It transports nutrients from their sites of absorption to different tissues and organs for storage.

  2. It carries waste products of metabolism from different tissues.

  3. It transports respiratory gases.

  4. It uniformly distributes water, H+ and chemical substances all over the body.

  5. All of the above


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

This is the correct answer.

Which of the following is the central power station in circulation system of the body?

  1. Blood vessels

  2. Lungs

  3. The heart

  4. The aorta

  5. All of the above


Correct Option: C
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.

Which of the following parts is not involved in pulmonary circulation?

  1. Left ventricle

  2. Right ventricle

  3. Left atrium

  4. Pulmonary artery

  5. Pulmonary vein


Correct Option: A
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.

In which of the following vessels does the left ventricle eject blood to give off to the tissues and organs?

  1. Pulmonary artery

  2. Pulmonary vein

  3. Superior vena cava

  4. Inferior vena cava

  5. Aorta


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

This answer is correct. The left ventricle ejects blood into the aorta, which further supplies the blood via arteries to tissues and organs(except the lungs).

The extracellular fluid, which flows throughout the body, transports which of the following substances from one part to another?

  1. digested food material

  2. oxygen

  3. metabolic waste

  4. hormones

  5. All of these.


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

Digested food materials to provide energy and growth of the body, hormones, metabolic wastes, enzymes, various gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide), etc. are transported from one part of the body to another. Hence, this option is the correct answer.

In insects and molluscs, the blood flows freely throughout the body cavity through

  1. arteries and veins

  2. lacunae and sinuses

  3. arteries and pulmonary arteries

  4. veins and pulmonary veins

  5. lymph vessels


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

This answer is correct. The blood does not remain confined to blood vessels, but it flows freely through the body cavity and channels called lacunae and sinuses in the tissues.

The mammalian heart is a myogenic heart. What does this statement mean?

  1. The heart beats originate from a muscle, but it is regulated by nerves.

  2. The heart beats originate from a nerve, but it is regulated by muscles.

  3. The heart beats originate from a muscle, and is regulated by muscles.

  4. The heart beats originate from a nerve, and is regulated by nerves.

  5. The heart beats originate from the heart, and regulated by heart.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

This answer is correct. The heart beats originate from a muscle, but it is regulated by nerves.

The first heart sound 'lubb' is produced by

  1. the closure of AV-valve at the beginning of auricular systole

  2. the closure of AV-valve at the beginning of ventricular systole

  3. the closure of AV-valve at the beginning of ventricular diastole

  4. the closure of AV-valve at the beginning of auricular diastole

  5. both the auricles and ventricles are in relaxed or diastolic phase


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

This answer is correct. The closure of AV-valve at the beginning of ventricular systole produces a sound “lubb” and is known as the first heart sound.

The movement of lymph or tissue fluid is mainly due to the squeezing action of the surrounding muscles. Which of the following is the correct path of this interstitial fluid?

  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


Correct Option: A
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.

When the heart beats, it contracts and pushes blood through the arteries to the rest of the body. This force creates pressure on the arteries. This pressure is

  1. normal blood pressure

  2. arterial blood pressure

  3. systolic blood pressure

  4. diastolic blood pressure

  5. hypertension


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

This answer is correct. When the heart beats, it contracts and pushes blood through the arteries to the rest of the body. This force creates pressure on the arteries. This is called systolic blood pressure.

Why is the blood pressure low in veins?

Select the correct answer: (a) Arteries are narrow and veins are wide. (b) Impure blood is less. (c) Veins have too many valves. (d) Heart pumps blood with less pressure in veins.

  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


Correct Option: B
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.

What are the chylomicron droplets present in the lymph made up of?

  1. proteins

  2. fats

  3. lipids

  4. Options (2) and (3)

  5. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Both options (2) and (3) are correct. Hence this option (4) is the correct answer.

Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), also known as Atherosclerosis, is caused due to the deposition of

  1. calcium

  2. fibrous tissues

  3. fat

  4. cholesterol

  5. All of the above


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

Coronary Artery Disease is caused due to damage in the blood vessels of heart tissues. Basically, it is caused due to the deposition of excess of calcium, fat, cholesterol and fibrous tissues, which make the lumen of arteries narrower. Hence, this option is correct.

The rate of lymph formation is equal to the rate of its return to the blood stream. But, sometimes the formation rate of lymph exceeds the rate of its return to the blood. This causes

  1. excretion of fluid through anus

  2. gets stored in the intestine

  3. creates a swelling around the cell called dropsy or oedema

  4. dries up and blocks the lymphatic vessels

  5. None of these


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The rate of lymph formation is equal to the rate of its return to the blood stream. But, sometimes the formation rate of lymph exceeds the rate of its return to the blood. Then the increased volume of fluid around the cells creates a swelling called dropsy or oedema. Hence, this answer is correct.
