Heart Ch.10 Flashcards
The two large veins that enter the right atrium and carries unoxygenated blood from the superior and inferior body
Precava and Postcava
This is the first chamber of the heart and receives unoxygenated blood from the body
Right Atrium
This valve separates the right atrium and right ventricle. It prevents back flow into the right atrium.
Tricuspid Valve
The second chamber of the heart and pumps blood to the lungs.
Right Ventricle
This valve separates the pulmonary trunk from the right ventricle and prevents backflow into the right ventricle.
Pulmonary Semilunar Valve
These arteries carry unoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs
Pulmonary Arteries
These veins carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium.
Pulmonary Veins
The third chamber of the heart and receives oxygenated blood from the lungs
Left Atrium
This valve separates the left atrium and left ventricle. It prevents backflow into the left atrium.
Bicuspid Valve
The fourth chamber of the heart and pumps oxygenated blood to the body
Left Ventricle
This valve separates the aortic arch from the left ventricle and prevents backflow into the left ventricle.
Aortic Semilunar Valve
The largest elastic artery in the body and carries oxygenated blood to the body.
Aortic Arch
The heart strings
Chordae Tendonae and Papillary Muscles
vessels located on and in the actual myocardium or heart muscle.
They supply and drain the myocardium of blood
