LAB - Cardiovascular System Flashcards
What valve separates the right atrium and right ventricle?
tricuspid valve/right atrioventricular valve
What valve separates the left atrium and the left ventricle?
mitral valve/left atrioventricular valvee
What valve separates the right ventricle and the pulmonary trunk?
pulmonary semilunar valve
What valve separates the left ventricle and the ascending aorta?
aortic semilunar valve
What two structures does the ligamentum arteriosum connect?
aortic arch & pulmonary trunk
What rope-like structures attach to the papillary muscles in the ventricles?
chordae tendineae
What two vessels are the first to branch from the ascending aorta?
left and right coronary artery
The _______ veins carry oxygenated blood.
pulmonary
Which of the 3 branches on the aortic arch carries blood to the left side of the head?
left common carotid artery
Which vessel does the right common carotid artery branch from?
brachiocephalic trunk
What anatomical feature defines a portal system?
vein connecting two capillary beds
List the 3 main veins that drain into the hepatic portal vein
- gastric
- splenic
- superior mesenteric
a - left coronary artery
b - right coronary artery
Which ventricle has a thicker myocardium? Why?
left, because it pumps blood to the rest of the body (the entire systemic circulation)
What is the function of the chordae tendineae and papillary muscles?
prevent ventricular contraction from allowing blood back into aorta
inferior vena cava
hepatic veins
liver
hepatic portal vein
superior mesenteric vein
intestinal veins
inferior mesenteric vein
splenic vein
gastric vein
stomach
diaphragm
right subclavian vein
right brachiocephalic vein
