Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Need for oxygen, food, water, and elimination are essential physiologic needs. Need for shelter is a security and safety need, not a physiologic need.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The cardiac valves are one-way flaps of tissue that open and close in response to pressure changes within the chambers. These unidirectional valves allow blood to flow in one direction only, preventing backflow. The cardiac valves do not contract with sufficient force to pump blood; that is the function of the left ventricle. The atria heart chambers are receiving centers for blood. A complete muscular wall called the septum divides the heart into right and left sides.
