40
Q

Function of the left atrium

A

41
Q

Function of left ventricle

A

Pumps oxygenated blood through aortic valve to the rest of the body

42
Q

Function of the right ventricle

A

Passes blood to the pulmonary artery which sends the blood to the lungs to pick up oxygen

Q

Pulmonary artery

A

Carries blood from the right side of the heart to the lungs to get oxygenated

46
Q

Bicuspid valve

A

Allows blood to flow from the left ventricle to the aorta with any back flow of blood

47
Q

Function of the tricuspid valve

A

Opens to Allows blood to flow from right atrium to ventricle and when the ventricle contract they close to prevent any back flow of blood
