ATRIA

Q
- (Lower chambers)
A
VENTRICLES
3
Q
- Helps oxygen-rich blood reach organs and tissues in your upper body. It is responsible for carrying blood from the aorta to the right subclavian artery and right common carotid artery.
A
- BRACHIOCEPHALIC ARTERY
4
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.
A
- PULMONARY VEINS
5
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.
A
SUPERIOR VENA CAVA
6
Q
- It allows blood to cross the atria and bypass pulmonary circulation during fetal development.
A
- FOSSA OVALIS
7
Q
- receives oxygen-poor blood from the body and pumps it to the right ventricle.
A
RIGHT ATRIUM
8
Q
- It drains deoxygenated blood from the heart muscle.
A
- CORONARY SINUS
9
Q
- controls the blood flow between the heart’s top chamber (RA) to the bottom chamber (RV).
A
- TRICUSPID VALVE (Right atrioventricular valve)
10
Q
- carries deoxygenated blood from the lower parts of the body and empties into the right atrium (RA) of the heart.
A
- INFERIOR VENA CAVA (Posterior vena cava)
11
Q
- prevents the backflow of blood from the pulmonary artery back into the right ventricle (RV) in diastole (relaxed phase of the cardiac cycle).
A
- PULMONARY VALVE
12
Q
- pumps oxygen-poor blood/ deoxygenated blood to the lungs.
A
- RIGHT VENTRICLE
13
Q
- their contraction pulls on the chordae tendineae, preventing prolapsed mitral (bicuspid) and tricuspid valves.
A
- TRABECULAE CARNEAE
14
Q
- separates the ventricles and allows for proper blood flow through the heart. It prevents the mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood.
A
- INTERVENTRICULAR SEPTUM
15
Q
- responsible for the contraction of the heart chambers.
A
- MYOCARDIUM
