This question cannot be converted into a flashcard as it requires matching multiple items.

Front

The process of oxygenating blood occurs in the _______.

Back

Lungs

Front

Function of the mitral valve in the heart.

Back

The mitral valve regulates blood flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle and prevents backflow.

Front

Which chamber of the heart receives deoxygenated blood from the body?

Back

Right Atrium

Front

What is the primary function of the left ventricle?

Back

To pump oxygenated blood to the body

Front

What is the role of the pulmonary veins in the circulatory system?

Back

To carry oxygenated blood to the heart

Front

Which valve prevents the backflow of blood into the left ventricle? Options: Tricuspid Valve, Pulmonary Valve, Mitral Valve, Aortic Valve

Back

Aortic Valve

Front

Which of the following correctly describes the oxygenation process in the heart?
Options:
1. Oxygenated blood enters the right atrium and is pumped to the lungs.
2. Deoxygenated blood enters the left atrium and is pumped to the body.
3. Deoxygenated blood enters the right atrium and is pumped to the lungs.
4. Oxygenated blood enters the left atrium and is pumped to the body.

Back

Oxygenated blood enters the left atrium and is pumped to the body.
