o cerebral vascular accident
o tetralogy of fallot
o ventricular septal defect

question 42
the combining forms that mean \vein\ are:
o arterio- and vaso-
o ven/o- and phleb/o-
o atri/o- and athero-
o angio- and phlebo-

Explanation:

• Question 40: Atrial septal defect, tetralogy of Fallot, and ventricular septal defect are congenital heart - defects. A cerebral vascular accident (stroke) is a problem in the brain's blood vessels, not a heart defect.
• Question 41: The upper chambers of the heart are the atria. The pericardia is the sac around the heart, bicuspid is a valve, and ventricles are the lower chambers.
• Question 42: The combining forms 'ven/o -' and 'phleb/o -' mean vein. 'Arterio -' and 'vaso -' are related to arteries and blood vessels in a general sense, 'atri/o -' is related to atria, 'athero -' is related to plaque, and 'angio -' is a more general term for blood vessels.

Answer:

• Question 40: B. cerebral vascular accident
• Question 41: A. atria
• Question 42: B. ven/o - and phleb/o -
