300

Before blood travels through the pulmonary vein, what structure does it go to?

the lungs

300

Which lung has 3 lobes?

Right Lung
300

Disorder characterized by irregular, rapid heartbeat that causes blood pooling in the atria. Patients complain of fatigue. Treatment can consist of anti-coagulants, ablation, beta blockers. 

Atrial Fibrillation. 

300

Volume associated with normal, quite breathing.
