Q

heart chambers- internal division

A

between atria and ventricles

17
Q

heart chambers- external division

A

boundaries between the four chambers marked by grooves (coronary sulcus, anterior & posterior inter ventricular sulci)

18
Q

right atrium

A

receives deoxygenated blood from systemic circuit, opens into right ventricle through tricuspid valve

19
Q

pectinate muscles

A

cardiac (rough) and smooth muscles of right atrium

20
Q

right ventricle

A

receives blood from right atrium and pumps to pulmonary circuit via pulmonary trunk

21
Q

pulmonary semilunar valve

A

opening between right ventricle and pulmonary trunk

22
Q

left atrium

A

receives oxygenated blood returning from lungs, pumps blood through bicuspid valve to left ventricle

23
Q

left ventricle

A

similar to right ventricle, but walls are three times thicker and larger, pumps blood through aortic semilunar valve to aorta

24
Q

atrioventricular (AV) valves

A

between atria and ventricles
