3. Options A and D are correct. Veins in the pulmonary circuit carry oxygen-rich blood. The pulmonary veins bring oxygen-rich blood to the left atrium. Arteries in the pulmonary circuit deliver oxygen-poor blood to the lungs. The pulmonary artery channels oxygen-poor blood from the right ventricle into the lungs, where oxygen enters the bloodstream.
4. Both option D and E is right. The pulse is used to calculate the heartbeat. The calculated pulse is multiplied by 4 to calculate heartbeat. Both CNS and hormones alter pacemaker activity. To increase heart rate, the autonomic nervous system increases sympathetic outflow to the SA node, with concurrent inhibition of vagal tone. Norepinephrine released by sympathetic activation of the SA node binds to beta-adrenoceptors. This increases the rate of pacemaker.
5. Both option A and D is right. RBCs are called erythrocytes. Platelets are the only thing in the blood that contributed to blood clotting.
