biology the heart

• Where are the pulmonary arteries located in the heart?

  Top
• What is the name of the blood vessel that carries deoxygenated blood from the body to the heart?

  Superior vena cava
• How does the location and structure of the coronary arteries shown relate to their function in supplying blood to the heart muscle?

  • The right and left coronary arteries branch off from the aorta and run along the surface of the heart, allowing them to supply oxygenated blood directly to the heart muscle.
  • The circumflex artery and left anterior descending artery are branches of the left coronary artery, further distributing blood to different regions of the heart.
• What is the name of the large blood vessel that carries blood away from the heart?

  Aorta
• What are the major vessels of the heart and their types?

  • Aorta: Artery
  • Pulmonary Arteries: Artery
  • Superior/Inferior Vena Cava: Vein
  • Great Cardiac Vein: Vein
  • Left Anterior Descending: Artery
• What type of vessel is the great cardiac vein?

  Vein
• What color represents oxygen-rich blood in the heart's major vessels?

  Red
• What is the function of the coronary arteries?

  They supply oxygen to the heart muscle
• What are the main parts of the heart shown in the image?

  • Aorta
  • Pulmonary arteries
  • Left coronary artery
  • Circumflex artery
  • Great cardiac vein
  • Left anterior descending artery
  • Coronary sinus (in back)
• Where is the great cardiac vein located in the heart?

  Left Side
• What is the final vessel that blood enters after exiting the left ventricle?

  Aorta
• Where is the aorta located in the heart?

  Top
• What is the name of the chamber that receives oxygen-poor blood from the body?

  Right atrium
• What are the differences between oxygen-poor and oxygen-rich blood?

  • Oxygen-poor blood: Flows from the body to the right atrium
  • Oxygen-rich blood: Flows from the lungs to the left atrium
• What type of vessel is the superior vena cava?

  Vein
• What type of vessel is the left anterior descending?

  Artery
• What is the function of the right atrium?

  Receives oxygen-poor blood from the body
• Where is the superior vena cava located in the heart?

  Top
• How does blood flow through the heart chambers?

  • Blood flows from the right atrium to the right ventricle
  • Blood flows from the right ventricle to the lungs
  • Blood flows from the lungs to the left atrium
  • Blood flows from the left atrium to the left ventricle
  • Blood flows from the left ventricle to the body
• Where is the inferior vena cava located in the heart?

  Bottom
• What is the function of the left ventricle?

  Pumps oxygen-rich blood to the body
• After the SVC/IVC, what is the next chamber the blood enters on the right side of the heart?

  Right Atrium (RA)
• What valve does blood pass through to exit the left ventricle?

  Aortic Valve (AV)
• After the mitral valve, which chamber does blood enter?

  Left Ventricle (LV)
• Where is the left anterior descending located in the heart?

  Front
• What is the correct order of blood flow through the right side of the heart?

  • SVC/IVC
  • Right Atrium (RA)
  • Tricuspid Valve (TV)
  • Right Ventricle (RV)
  • Pulmonary Valve (PV)
  • Pulmonary Artery (PA)
• What is the main artery that carries oxygenated blood to the body?

  Aorta
• Which vessel does the blood enter after passing through the pulmonary valve?

  Pulmonary Artery (PA)
• What is the name of the chamber that pumps oxygen-rich blood to the body?

  Left ventricle
• What two major blood vessels deliver blood into the right side of the heart?

  SVC and IVC
• What is the name of the blood vessel that carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart?

  Pulmonary arteries
• What valve does blood pass through to exit the left atrium?

  Mitral Valve (MV)
• What valve does blood pass through to exit the right ventricle?

  Pulmonary Valve (PV)
• What veins does blood flow through to enter the right atrium?

  SVC/IVC veins
• What is the initial destination of blood pumped from the "RIGHT" side of the heart?

  Lungs
• What is the relationship between the contraction of ventricles and the opening of valves during systole?

  Ventricles contract, opening aortic/pulmonary valves
• What is the complete cycle of blood flow through the heart?

  1. Blood enters right atrium via SVC/IVC
  2. Flows to right ventricle
  3. Exits through pulmonary artery to lungs
  4. Returns via pulmonary veins to left atrium
• How can the left coronary artery and circumflex artery be used to identify the orientation of the heart?

  • The left coronary artery and circumflex artery are located on the left side of the heart, indicating the orientation of the heart in the image.
• What is the name of the valve between the left ventricle and aorta?

  Aortic Valve (AV)
• What is the name of the heart chamber that receives blood after the tricuspid valve?

  Right Ventricle (RV)
