With reference to the circulatory system of the human body and the process of blood circulation, consider the following statements:
- 1. The human heart is a muscular organ that exhibits double circulation, in which oxygenated and deoxygenated blood do not mix because the heart is divided into four chambers (two atria and two ventricles).
- 2. The oxygenated blood emerging from the aorta first enters the right atrium and is sent from there to the right ventricle via the tricuspid valve.
- 3. The pulmonary artery is the only artery that carries deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs for oxygenation.
- 4. A sphygmomanometer is used to measure blood pressure, in which the systolic pressure of a normal healthy human is about 120 mm Hg and the diastolic pressure is about 80 mm Hg.
Which of the above statement(s) is/are completely true?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Detailed Explanation
The circulatory system is a vital topic under human physiology in child development and pedagogy science curricula. Let us analyze each statement:
- Statement 1 is correct: The human heart is four-chambered and exhibits double circulation, ensuring that oxygenated and deoxygenated blood do not mix.
- Statement 2 is incorrect: Oxygenated blood from the lungs first enters the left atrium (not the right atrium) before moving to the left ventricle.
- Statement 3 is correct: The pulmonary artery uniquely carries deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs for purification.
- Statement 4 is correct: Blood pressure is measured using a sphygmomanometer, with a normal reading of approximately 120/80 mm Hg (systolic/diastolic).
Therefore, statements 1, 3, and 4 are completely true.
