Heart And Blood Vessle Flashcards
Name 4 chambers of the heart
Right Atria, Right Ventricle, left atria, and left ventricle.
What is between the right and left part?
Septum
What is the thing between Atrium and Ventricle?
Atrioventicular Valve
What is between the ventricles and the blood vessel?
Semi-lunar Valve
Why does left ventricle has the thickest wall muscle?
Because it pumps all over the body
Name the vessel that distributes blood around the heart
Coronary artery
Vessel from heart to lungs
Pulmonary artery
Vessel from lungs to heart
Pulmonary vein
Vessel from heart to body
Aorta
Vessel from body to heart
Vena cava (inferior for lower part and superior for upper part)
What is single circulation
A circulation when blood only needs to go through the heart one time before it finishes one journey (fish)
What is double circulation
Double circulation is when blood needs to go past the heart twice before it finishes one journey (mammals)
Explain the journey of blood in single circulation
Heart - gills - body - heart
Explain the journey of blood in two circulation (human)
Body - vena cava - right atrium - right ventricle - pulmonary artery - lungs - pulmonary vein - left atrium - left ventricle - aorta - body
What is artery (and explain its traits)
Artery is the blood vessel that take blood away from the heart. It has high pressure inside, thick wall, narrow and elastic lumen (the hollow part where blood flows) and no valves
