Heart Anatomy
This upper chamber receives blood from the body
What is the right atrium?
Blood goes from the right ventricle through this valve
What is the pulmonary valve?
These vessels carry blood away from the heart
What are arteries?
This valve is affected in aortic stenosis
What is the aortic valve?
This is the average number of times your heart beats per day:
A. 75,000
B. 100,000
C. 200,000
D. 500,000
B. What is about 100,000 times?
This chamber pumps blood to the lungs
What is the right ventricle?
After leaving the lungs, blood enters this heart chamber
What is the left atrium?
These vessels have valves and carry blood back to the heart
What are veins?
Aortic stenosis causes this type of blood flow problem
What is restricted or narrowed blood flow from the heart to the body?
True or False: All arteries carry oxygenated blood.
What is false? (The pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood.)
The thickest chamber that pumps blood to the body
What is the left ventricle?
Oxygenated blood leaves the heart through this artery
What is the aorta?
These tiny vessels allow exchange between blood and tissues
What are capillaries?
True or False: Aortic Stenosis is always genetic
This is the sound your heart makes when valves close:
A. dub-lub
B. bum-dum
C. dub-da
D. lub-dub
D. What is "lub-dub"?
These valves prevent backflow into the atria (there's 2)
What are the tricuspid and mitral valves?
These veins bring blood from the lungs to the heart
What are the pulmonary veins?
This artery is the largest in the body
What is the aorta?
This common sound may be heard with a stethoscope in someone with aortic stenosis
What is a heart murmur?
This part of the heart’s electrical system sets the pace:
A. sinoatrial (SA) node
B. bundle of His
C. Purkinje fibers
D. atrioventricular (AV) node
A. What is the sinoatrial (SA) node?
The wall that separates the left and right sides of the heart
What is the septum?
The full path of blood from the body, through the heart, to the lungs, back to the heart, and to the body is called this
What is the double circulatory system?
Blood pressure is highest in these vessels
What are arteries?
This imaging method is most commonly used to diagnose aortic stenosis
What is an echocardiogram?
How long about does it take blood to circulate the entire body:
A. 1 minute
B. 30 seconds
C. 5 minutes
D. 3 minutes
A. What is about 1 minute?
