Blood Vessels
The three main blood vessels found in the circulatory system
What are veins, capillaries, & arteries?
The number of chambers present in the human heart
What is four?
Valve that regulates backflow between the right atrium & right ventricle
What is the tricuspid valve?
This type of circulation carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs
What is pulmonary circulation?
This component is known as the "Pacemaker" of the heart
Blood vessel that carries oxygenated blood to the rest of the body
What is the aorta?
Chamber of the heart receives blood from the Vena Cavas
What is the right atrium?
What is the mitral valve?
This type of circulation delivers oxygenated blood from the heart to the body's tissues and organs
What is systemic circulation?
This component synchronizes atrial contraction by delivering the signal from the SA to the AV node
What are the internodal pathways?
Blood vessel that bring back deoxygenated blood from the upper body
What is the superior vena cava?
Chamber of the heart that receives blood coming from the lungs
What is the left atrium?
Valve through which deoxygenated blood travels through on its way to the lungs
What is the pulmonary valve?
Side of the heart that carries oxygenated blood during systemic circulation
What is the left side of the heart?
This component is known as the "Gatekeeper" and delays the electrical signal
What is the AV Node?
This blood vessel delivers oxygenated blood to the left atrium
What is the Pulmonary Vein?
Chamber of the heart that PUMPS blood through the pulmonary valve
What is the right ventricle?
These are also known as the atrioventricular valves
What are the tricuspid & mitral valves?
These are the gases that are exchanged during pulmonary circulation
What are oxygen & carbon dioxide?
This component is located in the interventricular septum later splitting into the right bundle branch & left bundle branch
What is the bundle of his?
These blood vessels supply blood/oxygen to the heart muscle
What are the coronary arteries?
Chamber of the heart that PUMPS blood out through the Aorta
What is the left ventricle?
These valves are known as the semilunar valves
What are the pulmonary & aortic valves?
This type of circulation supplies oxygen and nutrients to the heart muscle
These are spread among the ventricles & cause their contraction
