|---|---|
| the main function of pulmonary arteries is to carry blood from the lungs to the heart | this is a correct statement |
| what would cause blood flow to decrease, compared to normal blood flow? | a decrease in diameter of arterioles, a reduced amount of plasma compared to hematocrit, the second pressure value in the blood flow equation is higher than normal |
| t or f , when left ventricular pressure is higher than pressure in the aorta, the aortic valve will open | t |
| t or f , the heart valve between the vena cava and right atria is the tricuspid valve | f |
| t or f, Blood leaving the right side of the heart will be pumped into the pulmonary circulation. | t |
| t or f, The blood vessels that bring blood directly to the left atria are the pulmonary veins. | t |
| t or f, Valves open in both directions and allow blood flow between the atria and ventricles to move in both directions.. | f |
| t or f, The left and right ventricles will pump (eject) the same volume of blood. | t |
| t or f, the blood in the systemic circulation flows to the lungs | f |
| t or f, The veins of the systemic circulation have a lower oxygen content than the arteries of the systemic circulation. | t |
| t or f, the blood in the entire pulmonary circulation has a low oxygen |
