Which of the following veins does not drain blood directly into the auricles?

  1. Pulmonary vein

  2. Vena cava

  3. Coronary

  4. Azygous


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The azygos venous system returns blood from the posterior walls of the thorax and the abdomen and dumps into the superior vena cava. The superior vena cava then takes the blood to the right auricle.

Which of the following is the function of pericardial fluid?

  1. Protection against infections

  2. Protects heart from injury and against friction

  3. Keeps the heart moist and protects it from external shocks

  4. Provides nutrition to the heart cells


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Pericardial fluid keeps the heart moist and protects it from external shocks and friction at the time of bleeding.

Which part is supposed to be a vestige of oval aperture?

  1. Foramen ovale

  2. Fossa ovalis

  3. SA Node

  4. Bundle of His


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Fossa ovalis is an oval depression in intra-auricular septum, which is a vestige of an oval aperture. #

Which part of the heart receives blood from vena cava?

  1. Left auricle

  2. Right auricle

  3. Right ventricle

  4. Left ventricle


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The right auricle receives deoxygenated blood from superior and inferior vena cava.

What is the membrane covering the heart called?

  1. Peritoneum

  2. Pericardium

  3. Pleural membrane

  4. Renal faschia


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The heart is enclosed in a transparent membranous bag called pericardium.

Which structure prevents the mitral valve from being pushed into the auricles at the time of ventricular contraction?

  1. Sinuauricular node

  2. Bundle of His

  3. Papillary muscles

  4. Cuspid valve


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Papillary muscles that are situated in the left ventricle prevent the mitral valve from being pushed into the auricles at the time of ventricular contraction.

Starting from deoxygenated blood, what is the course of blood flow in the heart?

Note: RA (right auricle), RV (right ventricle), LA (left auricle) and LV (left ventricle)

  1. LV - LA - RV - RA

  2. RA - RV - LA - LV

  3. RA - LA - LV - RV

  4. LV - RV - RA - LA


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

This is the right course. RA receives deoxygenated from body. Deoxygenated blood then passes to RV from where it goes to the lungs for oxygenation. The oxygenated blood comes to LA from the lungs, from where it goes to LV to be supplied to the whole body.

What is the heartbeat of a normal person?

  1. 55 times/min

  2. 72 times/min

  3. Above 100 times/min

  4. None of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A normal heart rate falls in the range of 60 to 100 beats per minute.

Which of the following statements is false about the heart?

  1. The heart is slightly tilted towards left.

  2. The heart is about the size of fist.

  3. The heart is located on the left side of your chest.

  4. Feelings do affect the heart.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

This is a myth. In actuality, the heart is located in the middle of your chest and sits between lungs. The bottommost part of the heart is slightly tipped to the left but the heart is really in the center of your chest.

Pulmonary veins drain the oxygenated blood in which chamber of the heart?

  1. Right auricle

  2. Left auricle

  3. Right ventricle

  4. Left ventricle


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The left auricle receives oxygenated blood from the lungs by  the four pulmonary veins.

Where is the pericardial cavity present?

  1. Between fibrous pericardium and serous pericardium

  2. Between parietal and visceral layers

  3. Between two lungs

  4. Between visceral pericardium and endocardium


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Between the parietal and visceral layers of serous pericardium, a narrow space is present which is called the pericardial cavity.

Where is the mitral valve located?

  1. Between the right atrium and the left ventricle

  2. Between the left atrium and the left ventricle

  3. Between the right ventricle and the pulmonary aorta

  4. Between the right and the left ventricles


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The mitral valve guards the opening between the left atrium and the left ventricle.

Which of the following arteries supplies oxygenated blood to the whole body?

  1. Pulmonary aorta artery

  2. Aorta artery

  3. Coronary artery

  4. Innominate artery


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The aorta artery supplies blood to the whole body.

Which layer of the cardiac wall is made up of cardiac muscle fibres?

  1. Visceral pericardium

  2. Myocardium

  3. Endocardium

  4. Parietal layer


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

It is the middle layer of the cardiac wall and is formed of cardiac muscle fibres.

What is the function of semilunar valves?

  1. Pumping of blood

  2. Preventing the backflow of blood from the arteries to the ventricles

  3. Bringing deoxygenated blood to heart

  4. Distributing oxygenated blood to the body


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Semilunar valves prevent the backflow of blood from the arteries to the ventricles.
