A

Pulmonary Vein

31
Q

The chamber in question receives deoxygenated blood from the body through the superior and inferior vena cava and pumps it into the right ventricle.

A

Right Atrium

32
Q

The chamber in question receives oxygenated blood from the lungs through the pulmonary veins and pumps it into the left ventricle.

A

Left Atrium

33
Q

the chamber in question receives deoxygenated blood from the right atrium and pumps it to the lungs via the pulmonary artery for oxygenation.

A

Right Ventricle

34
Q

the chamber in question receives oxygenated blood from the left atrium and pumps it to the rest of the body through the aorta.

A

Left Ventricle

35
Q

the valve in question is located between the right atrium and right ventricle, it prevents backflow of blood into the atrium when the ventricle contracts.

A

Tricuspid Valve

36
Q

the valve in question Located between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery, it prevents backflow of blood into the ventricle after it has been pumped to the lungs.

A

Pulmonary Valve:

37
Q

the valve in question Located between the left atrium and left ventricle, it prevents backflow of blood into the atrium when the ventricle contracts.

A

Mitral Valve

38
Q

the valve in question Located between the left ventricle and the aorta, it prevents backflow of blood into the ventricle after it has been pumped out to the body.

A

Aortic Valve

39
Q

A wall of muscle that divides the right and left sides of the heart to prevent mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood within the heart.

A

Septum

40
Q

the cava in question Carries deoxygenated blood from the upper part of the body (head, neck, arms, and chest) to the right atrium, upper right area of heart.

A

Superior Vena Cava

41
Q

Unlike other veins, pulmonary [blank] carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium. There are typically four pulmonary veins, two from each lung.

A

Pulmonary Veins

42
Q

Alright dumb fucking shit, we doing this again: What are the top 3 parts in the respiratory system

A

Nose
Mouth
Pharynx

43
Q

Think of pigs, after pharynx, what comes next going down?

A

ePIGlottis

44
Q

The following rhymes with pharynx, and is the Voice Box

A

Larynx

45
Q

The following is the one that finishes off the stretch to the lungs, and is the windpipe

A

Trachea

46
Q

Difference between right lung and left lung

A

Right Lung is on the person’s right side (a viewers left), and vice versa.

47
Q

A large airway that leads from the trachea (windpipe) to a lung, either Left or Right depending on which one you are talking about

A

Bronchus

48
Q

The muscle under the lung, helps your lungs expand

A

Diaphragm

49
Q

The branches inside the lung like a tree branches

A

Bronchioles

50
Q

At the end of the Bronchioles, the tree branches, there are air sacs called

A

Alveoli

51
Q

All across the alveoli (the air sacs at the end of the branches called Bronchioles) it is covered all in…(remember it has PILL in it)

A

CaPILLaries

52
Q

Fill in the blank: On a diagram looking at an alveoli, going in is a [blank] while going out is [blank]

A

Artery, Vein

53
Q

The voice box, is responsible for producing sound and protecting the trachea against food aspiration by directing food to the esophagus, rhymes with Pharynx

A

Larynx

54
Q

The [blank] filters, warms, and moistens air as it enters the respiratory system and also houses olfactory receptors for the sense of smell, literally is how you smell

A

Nose

55
Q

The [blank] is a large, dome-shaped muscle at the base of the lungs that contracts to pull air into the lungs during inhalation and relaxes to push air out during exhalation.

A

Diaphragm:

56
Q

The left [blank] conducts air from the trachea into the left lung and branches into smaller tubes called bronchioles that lead to the alveoli.

A

Bronchus

57
Q

The right [blank] facilitates gas exchange between the air and blood, houses the right bronchus, bronchioles, and alveoli, and is divided into three lobes.

A

Right Lung

58
Q

The right [blank] conducts air from the trachea into the right lung and divides into smaller bronchioles that distribute air to the alveoli.

A

Right Bronchus:

59
Q

[blank] are the smallest blood vessels where the exchange of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and other nutrients and waste products occurs between the blood and tissues.

A

Capillaries

60
Q

The windpipe, provides a clear airway for air to enter and exit the lungs and is lined with cilia and mucus to trap foreign particles.

A

Trachea

61
Q

Is a flap of tissue that covers the opening of the larynx during swallowing to prevent food and drink from entering the airway, has PIG in it

A

ePIGlottis
