5. The smallest blood vessels where exchange of gases, nutrients, and waste occurs are called: Capillaries
6. Which blood vessel carries blood towards the heart? Vein
7. The atrioventricular (AV) node is located at the junction of the: Atria and ventricles

12. Lymph is derived from: Interstitial fluid
13. The volume of blood pumped out by one ventricle during each cardiac cycle is known as: Stroke volume
14. The main function of lymph is to: Drain excess interstitial fluid and return it to the blood
15. Which part of the heart wall is the thickest and most muscular? Myocardium
16. The lymphatic system plays a crucial role in: Immunity and fluid balance
17. Veins have valves to: Prevent backflow of blood
18. Purkinje fibers are specialized cells that: Conduct electrical impulses rapidly throughout the ventricular myocardium
19. The epicardium is also known as the: Outer layer of the heart wall
20. Lymphatic vessels collect excess fluid from: The spaces between cells (interstitial spaces)
21. Which chamber of the heart receives deoxygenated blood from the body? Right atrium
22. The pulmonary circulation involves the flow of blood from the: Right ventricle to the lungs and back to the left atrium
23. Which of the following is NOT a component of the lymphatic system? Red blood cells
24. The difference between the systolic and diastolic blood pressure is called: Pulse pressure
25. The second heart sound ('dub') is caused by the closure of: Aortic and Pulmonary valves
26. The valve between the right atrium and the right ventricle is called the: Tricuspid valve
27. The walls of arteries are generally thicker and more muscular than veins because they: Need to withstand higher blood pressure
28. The sinoatrial (SA) node is often called the: Pacemaker of the heart
29. Which of the following factors can increase heart rate? Sympathetic stimulation
30. Lymph nodes are important for: Filtering lymph and housing immune cells

33. The primary artery originating from the left ventricle is the: Aorta
34. Which vein collects deoxygenated blood from the lower body and empties it into the right atrium? Inferior vena cava
35. The atrioventricular (AV) node delays the impulse by about 0.1 seconds to ensure: Complete emptying of the atria into the ventricles
36. The Q wave in an ECG represents: Depolarization of the ventricles
37. The sinoatrial (SA) node is located in the wall of the: Right atrium
38. The systemic circulation involves the flow of blood from the: Left ventricle to the body and back to the right atrium
39. What is the sequence of electrical conduction through the heart? SA node -> AV node -> Bundle of His -> Purkinje fibers
40. The amount of blood pumped out by each ventricle in one minute is called: Cardiac output

50. The Bundle of His is part of the: Electrical conduction system of the heart
