Front

What is the function of the right ventricle in the heart?

Back

The right ventricle pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs through the pulmonary arteries for oxygenation.

Front

What are the pulmonary arteries responsible for?

Back

The pulmonary arteries carry deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs.

Front

What is the significance of the anterior view of the heart?

Back

The anterior view shows the front side of the heart, allowing for the identification of structures such as the right ventricle and pulmonary arteries.

Front

What structures are visible in the posterior view of the heart?

Back

The posterior view reveals structures such as the vena cavae, which return deoxygenated blood to the heart.

Front

What is the role of the pulmonary veins?

Back

The pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood from the lungs back to the left atrium of the heart.

Front

How does the structure of the heart support its function?

Back

The heart's chambers and valves are structured to ensure unidirectional blood flow and efficient pumping.

Front

What is the difference between the right and left sides of the heart?

Back

The right side pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs, while the left side pumps oxygenated blood to the rest of the body.

Front

What is the importance of the vena cavae?

Back

The vena cavae are large veins that return deoxygenated blood from the body to the right atrium of the heart.

Front

What is the pathway of blood flow through the heart?

Back

Blood flows from the body into the right atrium, then to the right ventricle, to the lungs via the pulmonary arteries, back to the left atrium via the pulmonary veins, and then to the left ventricle before being pumped to the body.

Front

What is the role of the left ventricle?

Back

The left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood to the aorta and out to the body.
