    The ceaselessly beating heart in the thorax has intrigued people for thousands of years.

    The ancient Greeks believed the heart was the seat of intelligence. Others thought it was
    the source of emotions. Although these theories have proved false, emotions certainly
    affect heart rate. Only when your heart pounds or occasionally skips a beat do you
    become acutely aware of this dynamic organ.

    As you learned from the Unit I Introduction, the cardiovascular system consists of the
    blood, the heart, and blood vessels. We also examined the composition and functions of
    blood, and in this chapter, you will learn about the pump that circulates it throughout
    the body—the heart. For blood to reach body cells and exchange materials with them, it
    must be pumped continuously by the heart through the body’s blood vessels. The heart
    beats about 100,000 times every day, which adds up to about 35 million beats in a year,
    and approximately 2.5 billion times in an average lifetime.

    the statement or answers the

    question.

    1. The heart contracts at an average rate of


    a. 110 beats per minute

    c. 12 beats per minute
    d. 42 beats per minute
    e. 24 beats per minute

    3. A tissue composed of layers and bundles of cardiac muscles
    a. Epicardium
    b. Endocardium
    c. Myocardium
    d. Endothelium
    4. Arteries carry blood away from the heart.
    a. True
    b. False
    5. Veins carry blood toward the heart; all veins except the pulmonary veins contain
    deoxygenated blood.
    a. True
    b. False
    6. This node really is the pacemaker of the heart.
    a. Sinoatrial node
    b. Atrioventricular node
    c. bundle of His

    b. False
    8. Cardiac tissue is distinctive microscopically because of the presence of
    a. Hemoglobin
    b. Intercalated discs
    c. Fibrin
    d. Ganglia
    9. The heart’s ventricles are sometimes called the pumping chambers because it’s their
    job to receive blood from the atria and pump it back to the lungs and out into the
    body’s network of arteries.
    a. True
    b. False
    10. The atrium is sometimes referred to as “receiving chambers” because they receive
    blood returning to the heart through the veins.
    a. True
    b. False
