Question

Which statements describe the movement of blood through the heart? Select two options.

Blood from the veins enters the ventricles.
Atria and ventricles contract at the same time.
Atria push blood into the ventricles.
Valves allow for two-way blood flow.
Ventricles push blood out of the heart.

Answer 1

Correct answers:
- Atria push blood into the ventricles.
- Ventricles push blood out of the heart.

Explanation: Venous blood first enters the atria, which contract to fill the ventricles; the ventricles then contract to eject blood out of the heart. Heart valves ensure one-way flow (not two-way), and atria and ventricles contract sequentially (atria first).
