Name of the upper heart chambers?
What is the Atrium?
100
Initiates the heart beat and sets the rhythm.
What is the Sinoatrial Node (SA Node)?
100
These carry blood to the Heart.
What are Veins?
100
Oxygen rich blood enters this chamber?
What is the left atrium?
100
A heart attack may occur if this clogs arteries.
What is Cholesterol?
200
Number of chambers in a mammalian heart?
What are 4?
200
Conducts electrical signals allowing the heart to contract.
What are the Purkinje Fibers?
200
These carry blood away from the heart?
What are arteries?
200
This is where blood receives oxygen.
What are the lungs?
200
What is one thing that may cause a heart attack?
What are diet, obesity, smoking, high blood pressure, drugs, heredity?
300
This heart chamber pumps blood to lungs.
What is the right ventricle?
300
Conducts electrical impulse from the Atrium to the Ventricles.
What is the Atrioventricular Node (AV Node)?
300
Deoxygenated blood (blue blood) is found where in the heart?
What is the right side?
300
Heart pumps oxygenated blood to the body using this artery.

400
This pumps deoxyginated blood to the Lungs.
What is the Pulmonary Artery?
400
Controls the transport of deoxygenated blood between the right atrium and right ventricle.
What is the Tricuspid Valve?
400
A ruptured (broken) blood vessel in the brain causes this.
What is a stroke?
500
This is the largest heart chamber. (Pumps blood to rest of body).
What is the Left Ventricle?
500
Transports the electrical signal from the AV Node to the Purkinje Fibers while dividing it equally to the right and left ventricles.
What are Bundle Branches?
500
These arteries nourish heart.
What are the Coronary Arteries?
500
What is it called when ventricles relax?
What is Diastole?
500
This machine performs the function of your heart and lungs in a bi-pass surgery.
