Which of the following is the correct sequence of parts through which blood moves from the vena cava to the lungs?
Right atrium, tricuspid valve, right ventricle, pulmonary valve.
Right ventricle, pulmonary valve, right atrium, tricuspid valve.
Right atrium, pulmonary valve, right ventricle, tricuspid valve.
Right ventricle, tricuspid valve, right atrium, pulmonary valve.
The Correct Answer is A
This is the correct sequence of parts through which blood moves from the vena cava to the lungs.
Choice B is wrong because it reverses the order of the right atrium and right ventricle. Blood flows from the right atrium to the right ventricle, not the other way around.
Choice C is wrong because it switches the positions of the tricuspid valve and the pulmonary valve.
Blood flows from the right atrium through the tricuspid valve to the right ventricle, and then through the pulmonary valve to the pulmonary artery.
Choice D is wrong because it also switches the positions of the tricuspid valve and the pulmonary valve, and reverses the order of the right atrium and right ventricle.
Blood flows from the right atrium through the tricuspid valve to the right ventricle, and then through the pulmonary valve to the pulmonary artery.
The normal range of blood pressure in the vena cava is about 0 to 5 mmHg, while in the pulmonary artery, it is about 15 to 25 mmHg.
The normal range of oxygen saturation in the vena cava is about 60% to 80%, while in the pulmonary vein, it is about 95% to 100%.

Correct Answer is D
Explanation
Exocrine glands secrete through ducts or tubes to the body’s exterior.
For example, sweat glands, salivary glands, and liver are exocrine glands.
Choice A is wrong because exocrine glands do not only secrete salts, but also other substances such as enzymes, mucus, and sebum.
Choice B is wrong because exocrine glands do not secrete hormones at all.
Hormones are secreted by endocrine glands, which are ductless glands that release their products directly into the bloodstream.
Choice C is wrong because exocrine glands do not secrete into the bloodstream, but onto an epithelial surface such as the skin or the gastrointestinal tract.
Only endocrine glands secrete into the bloodstream.
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
Red blood cells do not contain a large nucleus; in fact, they do not contain a nucleus at all when they are mature.
This is an adaptation that allows them to carry more hemoglobin, the protein that binds oxygen, and to squeeze through narrow capillaries.
Choice B is wrong because it contradicts the fact that red blood cells are enucleated (lacking a nucleus) in humans and most mammals.
Some vertebrates, such as birds and fish, have nucleated red blood cells, but they are not thick near the center and thin around the rim of the cell.
