(iii) Blood Vessels Entering and Leaving the Heart as:
I. Superior vena cava brings oxygenated blood from anterior body parts
II. Pulmonary artery arises from left ventricles and carries deoxygenated blood to the
lungs
III. Aorta arises from left ventricles and carries oxygenated blood to supply it to all body
parts
IV. coronary arteries right and left, arising from left ventricle and supply blood to heart
muscles
Choose the correct option from the following:
A. I, II, III and IV are correct
B. I, II and IV are correct
C. III and IV are correct
D. Only III is correct
(iv) Valves in the Heart are present as follows-
1. Right atrio-ventricular valve
2. Left atrio-ventricular valve
3. Pulmonary semi-lunar valve
4. Aortic Semi-Lunar Valve
a. at the similar way between left auricle and left ventricle.
b. at the opening between right auricle and right ventricle.
c. at the point of origin of aorta from left ventricle.
d. at the opening of right ventricle into pulmonary artery.
Choose the correct option from the following:
A. 1- a 2- b 3- c 4- d
B. 1- b 2- a 3- d 4- c
C. 1- a 2- d 3- c 4- b
