Q

Bicuspid Valve

A

in between the left atrium and ventricle

18
Q

Left Ventricle

A

pumps blood to the aorta to be distributed to the body

19
Q

Aortic Valve

A

between the left ventricle and the aorta, prevents backflow

20
Q

Aorta

A

carries blood away from the heart to the rest of the body

21
Q

Base

A

where the heart sits/lays, blunt end

22
Q

Apex

A

the point at the bottom of the heart

23
Q

Epicardium

A

outermost layer of the heart

24
Q

Myocardium

A

middle, muscle layer

25
Endocardium
inner layer that touches the blood
26
Atrioventricular Groove
junction of the right atrium and the right ventricle
27
Chordae Tendineae
"heart strings" & attachments on the valves
28
Papillary Muscles
located in the ventricles of the heart, attach to the cusps of the atrioventricular valves via the chordae tendineae and contract to prevent inversion or prolapse
29
Interventricular Septum
separates the two ventricular chambers
30
Auricles
structures on the atria that look like two earlike flaps
31
Left and Right Coronary Arteries
supply blood to the myocardium, arises from the ascending aorta
32
Pericardium
encloses the heart, 2 layers
33
Visceral Pericardium
inner layer of pericardium
34
Parietal Pericardium
outer layer of pericardium
35
Interventricular Groove
separates the right ventricle from the left ventricle
36
Coronary Sinus
large venous chamber that carries blood from the cardiac veins to the right atrium
37
Vein
returns oxygen-poor blood to the heart, thin walled
38
Venule
small vein that collects blood from capillaries
39
Artery
carries oxygen rich blood from the heart, thick walled
40
Arteriole
very small artery that delivers blood to the capillaries
