Pulmonary Veins

bring oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium

New cards

Left Atrium

receives oxygenated blood from pulmonary veins; sends blood to Left Ventricle

<p>receives oxygenated blood from pulmonary veins; sends blood to Left Ventricle</p>
3
New cards

Bicuspid/Mitral Valve

valve that opens to send oxygenated blood to Left Ventricle

<p>valve that opens to send oxygenated blood to Left Ventricle</p>
4
New cards

Left Ventricle

Receives oxygenated blood from left atrium; sends oxygenated blood to aorta

6
New cards

Aorta

carries oxygenated blood from the heart to tissues/the body

<p>carries oxygenated blood from the heart to tissues/the body</p>
7
New cards

Superior Vena Cava

brings deoxygenated blood to Right Atrium

<p>brings deoxygenated blood to Right Atrium</p>
8
New cards

Inferior Vena Cava

brings deoxygenated blood to Right Atrium

<p>brings deoxygenated blood to Right Atrium</p>
9
New cards

Right Atrium

receives deoxygenated blood from inferior vena cava and superior vena cava; sends deoxygenated blood to Right Ventricle

<p>receives deoxygenated blood from inferior vena cava and superior vena cava; sends deoxygenated blood to Right Ventricle</p>
10

4 pulmonary arteries

<p>4 pulmonary arteries</p>
16
New cards

How many pulmonary veins are there?

4 pulmonary veins

<p>4 pulmonary veins</p>
17
New cards

What is the largest artery in the body?

aorta

<p>aorta</p>
18
New cards

What is the purpose of a valve in the heart?

prevent back flow of blood

<p>prevent back flow of blood</p>
19
New cards

Why do ventricles have thicker muscle in their walls compared to the atria?

they have to pump blood out of the heart, more pressure, so builds more muscle
