9. Coronary arteries primarily receive blood flow during?

10. What is found in blood serum that is also in blood plasma?

1. Blood cells

2. Platelets

3. Plasma proteins

4. Clotting factors

C: Plasma proteins (except fibrinogen) are in plasma and in serum. Serum = plasma minus the clotting factors. Blood cells and platelets are not in plasma.

11. Which of the following arteries primarily feeds the anterior wall of the heart?

1. Circumflex artery

2. Internal mammary artery

3. Left anterior descending artery

4. Right coronary artery

12 / 19

12. The coronary arteries arise from the___

1. Aorta near the origin of the left ventricle

2. Pulmonary artery at the apex of the right ventricle

3. Pulmonary vein near the left atrium

4. Superior vena cava at the origin of the right atrium

13 / 19

13. An example of a beta-blocker that is administered to decrease automaticity is___

1. Cardizem

2. Cordarone

3. Lopressor

4. Rythmol

14 / 19

14. Pericarditis is inflammation involving the___

1. Exterior layer of the heart

2. Heart’s muscle fibers

3. Inner lining of the heart and valves

4. Thin fibrous sac encasing the heart

15 / 19

15. What is the SECOND step in the three phases of haemostasis?

1. The vascular phase

2. The intrinsic pathway

3. The extrinsic pathway

4. The platelet phase

D: The three phases are vascular phase, platelet phase and coagulation phase (which, in turn, has three steps).

16 / 19

16. What is the term “formed elements” used to mean in a description of blood?

1. White blood cells, red blood cells and platelets

2. Blood plasma

3. Blood serum

4. The clotting factors in blood

A: Formed elements are the nonliquid or solute parts of the blood.

17 / 19

17. The blood group known as the ABO system is based on the presence of what proteins on blood cells?

1. Antibodies

2. Antigens

3. Agglutinins

4. Immunoglobulins

B: Antigens are on the membrane of the RBC. The other three terms all describe the same thing, antibodies that are circulating in the plasma.

18 / 19

18. Which blood cells are involved in protecting the body from pathogens and foreign cells?

1. Erythrocytes

2. Leucocytes

3. Platelets

4. Haemoglobin

B: Leucocytes (white blood cells) include NK (natural killer), T and B lymphocytes and macrophages and microphages.

19 / 19

19. What is the first process that occurs after a blood vessel is damaged?

1. Coagulation

2. Platelet plug formation

3. Vasoconstriction

4. Haemolysis

C: Almost immediately (within 2 s) after a blood vessel is cut, the vessel walls contract in a spasm to slow the flow of blood (vessel diameter decreases).
