basics
The pulmonary circuit goes where?
lungs
I am the hole between the atria
fossa ovalis
Valve between the right atrium and right ventricle
Right AV valve
What chamber am I?
I pump blood into ascending aorta
left ventricle
Which circuit leaves left side of heart to feed whole body (minus lungs)?
Systemic circuit
I am the main blood supply to the cardiac muscle
Coronary arteries
Blood passes through this valve between right ventricle and pulmonary truck
Pulmonary semilunar valve
What chamber am I?
I receive blood from pulmonary veins
Left atrium
Where is the heart located?
In the thoracic cavity, protected by the ribs.
I am the wall between the ventricles
interventricular septum
Blood passes through this valve between left ventricle and ascending aorta
Aortic semilunar valve
What chamber am I?
I receive blood from superior and inferior vena cava
Right Atrium
Where does blood go when it leaves left ventricle?
ascending aorta
I help keep the AV valves from flipping inside out
chordae tendineae
I am the type of valve between atria and ventricles
Atrioventricular valves
What Chamber am I?
I receive blood from right atrium through tricuspid (rt AV valve) valve.
Right ventricle
Where does blood go when it leaves right ventricle?
pulmonary trunk
I contract to keep chordae tendineae tight during ventricular contraction
papillary muscle
I am the type of valve that is between the ventricles and great arteries.
Semilunar valves. (aortic/pulmonary valves.)
What chamber am I?
I pump blood into pulmonary circuit via pulmonary trunk.
Right Ventricle
