Q

What is connected to the right atrium?

Where does the blood come from, from each?

A

Inferior vena cava-inferior regions
Coronary sinus-blood from heart

16
Q

Blood flows out of right ventricle from what? Then where does it go?

A

Pulmonary trunk then right and left pulmonary artery

17
Q

Left atrium has what?

A

Left and right pulmonary veins

18
Q

Blood from the left ventricle leaves from where?

A

Aorta

19
Q

The top of the aorta is called what?

A

Aortic arch

20
Q

What stops blood from going back up into the right atrium and left atrium?

A

Right and left atrioventricular valves

21
Q

What stops blood from flowing back down aorta?

A

Aortic semilunar valves

22
Q

What stops blood from flowing back down pulmonary trunk?

A

Pulmonary semilunar valves

23
Q

What 2 structures holds the valves down?

A

Chordae tendineae

Papillary muscle

24
Q

What seperates the right and left ventricle?

A

Interventricular septum

25
Q

What separates the right and left atrium?

A

Interatrial septum

26
Q

Why does the left ventricle have more muscle that the right?

A

The left has to pump blood to the rest of the body which is more work than pumping blood only to the lungs
