The ___ ___ receives O2 depleted blood and goes into the R ventricle.

The impulse travels to the AV node and then passes through the ___ ____ ____.

valves
_____ are flaps on the valves of the heart that help prevent backflow

test that measures the waves of electric activity in the heart as it beats
EKG
used to investigate the condition of the blood vessels that supply the heart

performed to reopen arteries that have become clogged by plaque build up

used to create a detour around a blocked artery to the heart

procedure used to replace an aortic valve that is hardened or blocked and can't function properly. can restore normal blood flow
