True or False: The serous pericardium is one continous sac around the heart with two layers. In a real heart these distinct layers would be visible due to the build up of fluid/ serum between the layers.
False
Which are gates that regulate the flow of blood in one direction?
Valves
True or False: Arteries always carry oxygenated blood. Veins always carry deoxygenated blood.
False
