Important Questions on Double Circulation

Which one of the following vertebrate organs receives the oxygenated blood only?

Explain coronary circulation of the human body.

Coronary veins open into coronary sinus.

Which of the following circulation regulates the blood supply to the heart in the body of a human?

Coronary arteries supply blood to the _____ (liver/heart).

Pulmonary arteries supply blood to the heart.

Define the portal system of the human body.

Which of the following system is a portal system?

_____ (Portal/Lymphatic) vessels start in capillaries and end in capilleries.

Hepatic portal system is present between digestive tract and kidneys.

Study the following table:
Part of heart | Location | Function | |
A | Fossa ovalis | Interatrial septum | Directs blood from right atrium to left atrium |
B | sinoatrial node | Wall of the right atrium | Initiation of systole |
C | Atrio-ventricular node | Interventricular septum | Acts as pacemaker |
D | Bicuspid valve | Left atrioventricular aperture | Directs blood to flow from left atrium to left ventricle |

Assertion (A): In human heart, deoxygenated blood always flows from right ventricle into pulmonary arch only
Reason (R): Mitral valve present at the base of pulmonary arch prevents the reverse flow of blood
