Chapter 31: Structure and Function of the Cardiovascular and Lymphatic Systems Which statement does not accurately describe the pericardium? a. The pericardium is a double-walled membranous sac that encloses the heart. b. It is made up of connective tissue and a surface layer of squamous cells. c. The pericardium protects the heart against infection and inflammation from the lungs and pleural space. d. It contains pain and mechanoreceptors that can elicit reflex changes in blood pressure and heart rate. Which cardiac chamber has the thinnest wall and why? a. The right and left atria; they are low-pressure chambers that serve as storage units and conduits for blood. b. The right and left atria; they are not directly involved in the preload, contractility, or afterload of the heart. c. The left ventricle; the mean pressure of blood coming into this ventricle is from the lung, which has a low pressure. d. The right ventricle; it pumps blood into the pulmonary capillaries, which have a lower pressure compared with the systemic circulation. Which chamber of the heart endures the highest pressures? a. Right atrium c. Left ventricle b. Left atrium d. Right ventricle What is the process that ensures mitral and tricuspid valve closure after the ventricles are filled with blood? a. Chordae tendineae relax, which allows the valves to close. b. Increased pressure in the ventricles pushes the valves to close. c. Trabeculae carneae contract, which pulls the valves closed. d. Reduced pressure in the atria creates a negative pressure that pulls the valves closed. Regarding the heart’s valves, what is a function of the papillary muscles? a. The papillary muscles close the semilunar valve. b. These muscles prevent backward expulsion of the atrioventricular valve. c. They close the atrioventricular valve. d.

Papillary muscles relax, which allows the valves to close. b. Chordae tendineae contract, which pulls the valves closed. c.
