Answer:

d. left ventricle

Explanation:

Heart consists of four chambers: left atrium, right atrium, left ventricle and right ventricle. The atria are located above the ventricles and their function is to  pump blood to the ventricles.

Right ventricle pumps the deoxygenated blood to the lungs via pulmonary artery. Pulmonary vein brings back oxygenated blood from lungs to the left atrium. From here the blood is sent to left ventricle. Left ventricle pumps blood to the entire body via aorta. Since it has to make blood reach to every part of the body from head to toes, it generates maximum pressure. Therefore, left ventricle also has thickest heart muscles.

Answer: Fibrous pericardium and Serous Pericardium

Explanation:

The pericardium can be defined as the fibroserous sac( double layered) which covers the whole heart. The gap between two layers of serous pericardium is filled with serous fluid. This fluid protects the heart from external shocks.

Fibrous pericardium

This layer is the most superficial layer which consists of dense connective tissue. This layer of the heart protects it from over filling of blood, anchors the heart to the surrounding wall.

Serous pericardium

This layer provides lubrication to the heart by resisting the friction which occurs during the various type of heart function.

which type of health care worker would be most concerned with the safety standards established by the clinical laboratories impr
Rama09 [41]

The Director of nursing would be most concerned with the safety standards established by the clinical laboratories’ improvement amendments or CLIA.

<h3>What is CLIA?</h3>

The Public Health Services Act was amended by the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 law, in which Congress altered the federal scheme for accreditation and oversight of clinical laboratory testing.

Federal standards that apply to all U.S. facilities or locations that test human specimens for health assessment or to diagnose, prevent, or treat disease are included in the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA) rules.

Testing performed for forensic reasons (criminal investigations), testing carried out on human specimens for research or surveillance, and testing carried out on human specimens when patient-specific results are not reported are all exempt from the CLIA regulations.

These tests include employment-related drug testing by SAMSHA-certified laboratories.
