71
Q

Compare the 2 ventricle’s structures?

A

Right ventricle has thinner walls and is less muscular

Left ventricle has thicker, stronger walls

72
Q

Why is the left ventricle stronger than the right?

A

It needs to pump blood at high pressures all around the body

73
Q

What chambers of the heart contract first?

A

The atria

74
Q

What are the stages of the deoxygenated blood cardiac cycle?

A

Body –> vena cava –> right atrium –> right ventricle –> pulmonary artery –> lungs

75
Q

What are the stages of the oxygenated blood cardiac cycle?

A

Lungs –> pulmonary vein –> left atrium –> left ventricle –> aorta –> body

76
Q

What is systole?

A

The process of contracting and pumping out blood

77
Q

What is diastole?

A

78
Q

How many stages does the heart beat in?

A

2

79
Q

What is the first stage of a heart beat?

A

Ventricular diastole

80
Q

What is the second stage of a heart beat?

A
