Question
- Central venous pressure describes pressure ina. Inferior vena cava near right atriumb. Superior vena cava right atriumc. Left atriumd. Abdominal aorta
Solution
Central venous pressure (CVP) is the blood pressure in the venae cavae, near the right atrium of the heart. CVP reflects the amount of blood returning to the heart and the ability of the heart to pump the blood into the arterial system.
So, the answer to your question is:
a. Inferior vena cava near right atrium b. Superior vena cava near right atrium
Both the superior and inferior vena cavae are involved in central venous pressure as they both return blood to the right atrium of the heart.

Chambers of the heart RIGHT ATRIUM • general features: thin-walled chamber that lies superior to the right ventricle; receives blood from the systemic blood circuit; • orifice of the superior vena cava: located in the superior region of the right atrium; • orifice of the inferior vena cava: located in the inferior region of the right atrium; backflow of blood is prevented by the presence of the Eustachian valve; • auricle of the right atrium: ear-shaped pouch/extension of the right atrium; projects to the left from the root of the superior vena cava; • pectinate muscles: also called musculi pectinati; parallel muscular ridges on the internal wall of the majority of the right atrium and the right auricle; • interatrial septum: partition between the ___________________________ and the ________________________________; • fossa ovalis: shallow depression in the interatrial septum; remnant of the foetal _________________________________; • coronary sinus opening: located internally in the wall of the right atrium; lies between the orifice of the inferior vena cava and the right atrioventricular opening; receives all blood draining from the heart itself; protected by a semilunar fold of the endothelium of the heart called the coronary valve
