Chambers
These chambers of the heart are located in the bottom half
What are the ventricles?
What are arteries?
This valve is located between the left ventricle and the aorta, ensuring blood flows out of the heart into the systemic circulation.
What is the aortic valve?
Side of the heart that carries deoxygenated blood?
What is the right side?
Side of the heart that carries oxygenated blood
What is the left side?
This chamber of the heart receives blood from the lungs.
What is the Left Atrium?
This major artery is the largest in the body and carries oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the rest of the body.
What is the aorta?
This valve prevents blood from flowing back into the right ventricle on its way to the lungs
What is the pulmonary valve?
Blood vessel that returns oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart
What are the pulmonary veins?
This chamber pumps blood to the lungs via the pulmonary artery.
What is the Right Ventricle?
These blood vessels return oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.
What are the pulmonary veins?
This valve prevents the backflow of blood from the left ventricle into the left atrium.
What is the mitral valve?
Chamber of the heart that pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs
What is the right ventricle?
Blood enters this chamber of the heart from the superior and inferior vena cava.
What is the Right Atrium?
These veins carry deoxygenated blood from the body’s upper and lower parts to the right atrium
What are the superior and inferior vena cava?
This valve is located between the right atrium and the right ventricle.
What is the tricuspid valve?
This is the largest and strongest chamber, responsible for pumping blood to the entire body.
What is the Left Ventricle?
Blood vessels that surround the heart & supply blood to the heart muscle itself.
What are the coronary arteries?
These two valves are referred to as the atrioventricular valves
What are the tricuspid and mitral valves?
Chamber of the heart that recieves deoxygenated blood from the body during systemic circulation
What is the right atrium?
Chamber of the heart that pumps oxygenated blood to the rest of the body
What is the left ventricle?
