Given the QUESTION, identify the ANSWER
1. Pulse rate in a healthy adult man is _______ beats / minute. (at rest) 62-66
72-78 86-90
90-94
Answer: 72-78 2. Normal blood pressure (BP) in a 25-year-old man is _______ mm Hg. 100/60
140/90
120/80 170/100
Answer: 120/80120 mm Hg is the systolic BP, i.e., during ventricular contraction. 80 mm Hg is the diastolic BP, i.e., during ventricular relaxation. In a 25-year-old person systolic pressure ranges from 110/130 mm Hg and diastolic from 70/90 mm Hg. 3. This statement is not true : Veins contain valves.
All veins carry deoxygenated blood. Veins are thin-walled.
Veins return blood from the various parts of the body to the heart.
Answer: All veins carry deoxygenated blood.All veins carry deoxygenated blood except pulmonary veins which bring oxygenated blood from lungs to left auricle.
4. Identify the blood vessel 'A' in this diagram. Pulmonary artery
Inferior vena cava
Carotid artery
Aorta
Answer: AortaDuring ventricular contraction, blood is pumped into the aorta, the main arterial trunk, from where it is carried to various parts of the body. 5. Which blood vessels carry blood from heart to various parts of the body? Veins
Capillaries
Arteries All of these
Answer: Arteries 6. Sphygmomanometer is an instrument used to record Respiratory rate
Heart rate
Blood pressure Electrical activity of heart
Answer: Blood pressureIt is a mercury manometer. 7. This statement is not true regarding hemoglobin : Hemoglobin carries oxygen.
Percentage of hemoglobin in a healthy young man is 10/12 gm%. Hemoglobin is found in RBCs.
Hemoglobin deficiency leads to anemia.
Answer: Percentage of hemoglobin in a healthy young man is 10/12 gm%. Hemoglobin is 14-16 gms%. 8. This statement is true regarding platelets : Platelets contain many nuclei.
Platelets contain single nucleus.
Platelets contain an ill-defined nucleus.
Platelets do not contain nucleus.
Answer: Platelets do not contain nucleus.Platelets are formed by fragmentation of megakaryocytes; therefore, they do not contain any nucleus. 9. Identify the blood vessel 'D' in this diagram. Aorta
Pulmonary Trunk Inferior vena cava
Superior vena cava
Answer: Pulmonary TrunkPulmonary trunk divides into right and left pulmonary arteries which carry deoxygenated blood to the lungs. 10. This statement is not true : Valves are present between auricles and ventricles to prevent backflow of blood.
Pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood.
Left side of the heart contains oxygenated blood.
Right ventricle pumps blood to various parts of the body.
Answer: Right ventricle pumps blood to various parts of the body.Right ventricle pumps deoxygenated blood to lungs through pulmonary arteries. In the lungs, it gets oxygenated and is sent back to left auricle through pulmonary veins. 11. Which of these does not cause an increase in pulse rate? Exercise
Fever
Sleep Anxiety
Answer: SleepDuring fever, anxiety and exercise, metabolic rate of the body increases. This results in increased oxygen demand, which in turn causes increase in heart rate. 12. Due to presence of _______ , back flow of blood is prevented in veins. Septa
Thick walls
Valves Arteries
Answer: Valves 13. Very fine vessels called capillaries connect arteries and veins to each other. True False
Answer: True 14. Deficiency of hemoglobin is known as anemia. True False
Answer: True 15. Contraction of ventricles is known as diastole. True
False
Answer: FalseContraction of ventricles is known as systole. It results in ejection of blood out of the ventricles. Diastole is the relaxation of ventricles. It results in filling of the ventricles with the blood. 16. Bleeding time is prolonged in hemophilia. True
False
Answer: FalseHemophilia is caused due to deficiency of a clotting factor. Bleeding time i.e. the time required for bleeding to stop when a puncture is made into the skin, remains unchanged. Clotting time is prolonged.
