4. The diagram shows a section through the heart. Which part pumps blood to the aorta?
[Link] statement is correct for most veins in the human body?
A They carry blood at high pressure. B They have a pulse.
C They have valves. D They take blood away from the heart.
6. The diagram shows a vertical section through a human heart.
What are X and Y?
7. The diagrams show four different stages in one heart beat.
8. What is the correct sequence for blood being pumped from the heart to the lungs?
9. Why is the circulatory system of mammals described as a double circulation?
A Blood flows firstly through arteries and then through veins.
B Blood flows through the heart twice on one complete circuit of the body.
C In the heart, blood flows firstly through atria and then through ventricles.
D The atria and the ventricles contract alternately.
