A

Crista terminalis

30
Q

Interatrial septum divides the

A

right atrium form the left atrium

31
Q

What is the remnant of the fetal valve that connects the atriums

A

Fossa ovalis, was the fetal foramen ovale

32
Q

Patent foramen ovale

A

Doesn’t close allow the way mixing of deoxy and oxy blood. Overloads the heart get enlargement

33
Q

The right ventricle receives blood from _____ through the ___

A

The right atrium, through the right atrioventricular valve (tricuspid)

34
Q

What are the trabecular carnae

A

Irregular muscular elevations on the internal surface of the right ventricle

35
Q

What are the parts of the interventricular septum

A
  1. Muscular

2. Membranous

36
Q

What is the location of membranous part of the interventricular septum

A

Superior and posterior

37
Q

What is the conus arteriosus and what doe sit lead in to

A

Cone shaped pouch that leads in to the pulmonary trunk

38
Q

Why type of valve is the pulmonary valve and what does it guard

A

Semilunar valve and guards the pulmonary trunk from receiving blood from the right ventricle

39
Q

Blood in the right atrium changes directs and wha angle

A

140

40
Q

How many cusps forms the right atrioventricular valve have

A

3 - tricuspid (anterior, posterior, septal)

41
Q

What muscles control to the cusps of the right atrioventricular valve

A

Papillary muscle- anterior, posterior, septal

42
Q

What are the fibers that connects the cusps of the atrioventricular valve to the papillary muscles

A

Chordae tendineae

43
Q

What is the function of the atrioventricular valves

A

They prevent back flow of blood to the atrium during ventricular contraction

44
Q

What structures prevent the cusps of the atrioventricular valves from prolapsing into the aorta

A

Chordae tendinae and papillary muscles

45
Q

What is occuring during ventricular diastole

A

Ventricles are filling

46
Q

What valves are open during diastole

A

Atrioventricular valves because the ventricles are filling

47
Q

What is occuring during ventricular systole

A

Ventricles are contracting and pushing blood to aorta and pulmonary trunk

48
Q

What valves are open during systole

A

Semilunar valves - pulmonary and aortic

49
Q

The left atrium receives what kind of blood from where

A

Oxygenated blood from lungs via the pulmonary veins
