Q

What are the 2 sinuses formed as a result of the reflections of pericardium where the visceral and parietal layers are continuous with one another at the great vessels?
Where are they?

Q

Explain the flow of blood thru the heart, starting at the right atrium (include valves).

A
  1. Blood enters the right atrium through the superior and inferior vena cavae.
  2. Passes the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle.
  3. Exits via the pulmonary trunk through the pulmonary semilunar valve.
  4. Returns to the left atrirum via the right and left pulmonary veins.
  5. Passes the bicuspid (mitral) valve into the left ventricle
  6. Exits via the ascending aorta through the aortic semilunar valve.
