3 cusps or flaps
Right atria
Collects blood from the vena cava
Left-hand side bicuspids
Two cusps
The septum is
The wall of the heart
Atrioventricular valves on the right hand side are known as
Tricuspid
Pulmonary trunkBranches off to form
The pulmonary arteries
Atrioventricular valves on the left side or known as
Bicuspid
How does chordae tendineae support the AV valves?
Keep the valves from inverting with the force of blood flow
Atrioventricular function as
Valves
The job of the septum is to
Separate the left and right sides of the heart
Left atria
Collect blood from the pulmonary veins
Valves between the ___________ and ___________ prevent back-flow of blood
Atria, ventricle
Valves between the atria and ventricles are known as
Atrioventricular
Semi lunar valve’s are found
Between the ventricles and the aorta
Between the ventricles and the pulmonary trunk
Chordae tendineae are
Strong fibrous strings that support the A.V. Valves
