Q

Name the order in which blood circulates in the heart.

left ventricle, right ventricle, left and right atriums.

A

Right atrium (gets the deoxygenated blood from IVC),

This blood is sent to the right ventricle and gets the deoxygenated blood from the right atrium and forces it to the lungs

it then goes to the left atrium once the blood is oxygenated from the lungs, and sends it to the

left ventricle which then gives it to the aorta.

True or False

33
Q

What is the difference between the thoracic inlet and the thoracic outlet?

A

the thoracic inlet is at the top of the ribs and thoracic is at the bottom (at level of the floating ribs)

34
Q

Why is the right lung shorter than the left?

A

because the liver is in the way.

35
Q

What are the three parts of the lungs?

A

apex, base and hilum

36
Q

Where is the apex of the lung located?

A

the superior part

37
Q

Where are the blood vessels, nerves and other vessels located within the lungs?

in the hilum of each lung

38
Q

The visceral pleura is the INNER layer of the lung.

True or false?

39

from the right upper side of the body and it empties into the subclavian.

A

Pericardium
myocardium
endocardium

46
Q

The sac is enclosed within what layer of the heart/

A

the outter part, the pericardium

47
Q

The interatrial septum is the septum between what parts of the heart?

A

the two atriums.

48
Q

The interventricular septum is between what two parts of the heart?

A

the two ventricles.

49
Q

The triscuspid valve is located between the right atrium and right ventricle..
