Q

are blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart. They are typically oxygen-rich, although there are exceptions, such as the pulmonary arteries, which transport deoxygenated blood to the lungs. Arteries have thick walls and high elasticity to manage the high pressure of blood pumped from the heart.

11
Q

are blood vessels that carry blood to the heart. They usually carry oxygen-poor blood, except for the pulmonary veins, which bring oxygenated blood from the lungs back to the heart. Veins have thinner walls compared to arteries and contain valves to prevent the backflow of blood, aiding in its return to the heart.

Q

are tiny blood vessels where the exchange of oxygen, nutrients, and waste products occurs. At the capillary level, oxygen is delivered to organs and tissues, and carbon dioxide is picked up to be transported away from the tissues. Capillaries have very thin walls to facilitate this exchange.

17
Q

Receives oxygenated blood from the lungs via the pulmonary veins.

A

Left Atrium (LA)

18
Q

Pumps oxygenated blood through the aorta to the body.

A

Left Ventricle (LV)

19
Q

gateways in the heart that ensure unidirectional blood flow and prevent backflow:

A

Valves

20
Q

Located between the Right Atrium and Right Ventricle.

A

Tricuspid Valve

21
Q

Located between the Right Ventricle and the pulmonary artery.

A

Pulmonary Valve

22
Q

Located between the Left Atrium and Left Ventricle.

A

Mitral (Bicuspid) Valve

23
Q

Located between the Left Ventricle and the aorta.

A

Aortic Valve

24
Q

Deoxygenated Blood enters the heart through the inferior vena cava (for lower body) and superior vena cava (for upper body) into the Right Atrium.

A

1st Step in the Pathway of Blood Flow

25
Q

Blood moves from the Right Atrium through the tricuspid valve into the Right Ventricle.

A

2nd step in the pathway of blood flow

26
Q

The Right Ventricle pumps blood through the pulmonary valve into the pulmonary artery, which carries it to the lungs for oxygenation.

A

3rd step in the pathway of blood flow

27
Q

Oxygen-rich blood returns to the heart through the pulmonary veins into the Left Atrium.

A

4th step in the pathway of blood flow

28
Q

Blood moves from the Left Atrium through the mitral valve into the Left Ventricle.

A

5th step in the pathway of blood flow

29
Q

The Left Ventricle contracts, pushing blood through the aortic valve into the aorta, which distributes oxygenated blood throughout the body.

A

6th step in the pathway of blood flow

30
Q

The heart requires its own blood supply to deliver oxygen and glucose. This supply comes from:

A

Coronary Circulation

31
Q

Branch from the aorta and deliver blood to the heart muscle.

A

Coronary Arteries

32
Q

Carry deoxygenated blood from the heart muscle back to the Right Atrium.

A

Coronary Veins

33
