Lymph does not contain:
1. | proteins | 2. | microorganisms |
3. | red blood cells and platelets | 4. | minerals |
The sinoatrial node is the normal pacemaker of the human heart because it:
1. | can form action potentials that can spread throughout the rest of the heart |
2. | depolarizes to its threshold potential before other pacemakers in the heart |
3. | is located in the top of right atrial wall |
4. | is most likely to form an ectopic focus |
The average life span of human red blood cells is:
1. | 10 days | 2. | 120 days |
3. | 21 days | 4. | three months |
A chest pain or pressure, usually due to not enough blood flow to the heart muscle, is known as:
1. | hypoxia | 2. | infarction |
3. | angina | 4. | diaphoresis |

1. | 90 | 2. | 70 |
3. | 50 | 4. | 30 |
QRS complexes on the ECG tracings show that:
1. The atria are depolarizing.
2. The ventricles are depolarizing.
3. The ventricles are repolarizing.
4. The heart is at rest.
Pulmonary veins return the oxygenated blood from the lungs to:
1. | right atrium | 2. | left atrium |
3. | right ventricle | 4. | left ventricle |
Erythrocytes in humans are destroyed mainly in:

3. | bone marrow | 4. | kidney |
