Q
  • It carries oxygen-rich blood/oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart. From there, the heart sends the blood to all the other organs and tissues.

Q

*- carries oxygen-poor blood to the heart’s right atrium, where it moves into the right ventricle and then to the lungs (through the pulmonary artery) to trade in carbon dioxide for oxygen.

Q
  • pump oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body.
A
  • LEFT VENTRICLE
17
Q
  • they contract to prevent inversion or prolapsed of the valves during systole.
A

PAPILLARY MUSCLE

18
Q
  • controls the blood flowing out from the heart.
A
  • AORTIC VALVE
19
Q
  • connect the papillary muscles to the tricuspid valve and the mitral valve in the heart. It maintains the atrioventricular valves (TV) in place when the heart pumps blood.
A
  • CHORDAE TENDINEAE
20
Q
  • regulates blood flow from the upper left chamber (LA) into the lower left chamber (LV).
A
  • MITRAL VALVE
21
Q
  • receives oxygenated blood from the lungs via the pulmonary veins and deliver it to the left ventricle (LV).
A
  • LEFT ATRIUM
22
Q
  • carry deoxygenated blood fro the heart to the lungs.
A
  • PULMONARY ARTERY
23
Q
    • it is the largest artery in the body which receives blood directly from the left ventricle (main pumping chamber)/ it transports oxygenated blood from the left ventricle of the heart to every organ.
A

AORTA

24
Q
  • carries oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the upper body.
A
  • LEFT SUBCLAVIAN ARTERY
25
Q
  • send oxygen-rich blood to the brain and other parts of the head and neck,
A
  • LEFT COMMON CAROTID ARTERY
