What is the function of the Left Atrium in the heart?

Back

The Left Atrium receives oxygenated blood from the lungs via the pulmonary veins and pumps it into the Left Ventricle.

Front

What role do the Left Pulmonary Veins play in the circulatory system?

Back

The Left Pulmonary Veins carry oxygenated blood from the left lung to the Left Atrium of the heart.

Front

What is the purpose of the Mitral Valve?

Back

The Mitral Valve regulates blood flow from the Left Atrium to the Left Ventricle, preventing backflow during ventricular contraction.

Front

What is the Aorta and its significance?

Back

The Aorta is the largest artery in the body, responsible for distributing oxygenated blood from the Left Ventricle to the rest of the body.

Front

What is the Inferior Vena Cava and its function?

Back

The Inferior Vena Cava is a large vein that carries deoxygenated blood from the lower body to the Right Atrium of the heart.

Front

What is the difference between oxygenated and deoxygenated blood?

Back

Oxygenated blood is rich in oxygen and is carried from the lungs to the body, while deoxygenated blood is low in oxygen and is returned from the body to the heart.

Front

What are the main chambers of the heart?

Back

The heart has four main chambers: the Right Atrium, Right Ventricle, Left Atrium, and Left Ventricle.

Front

How does blood flow through the heart?

Back

Blood flows from the body into the Right Atrium, then to the Right Ventricle, from there to the lungs via the Pulmonary Arteries, back to the Left Atrium, into the Left Ventricle, and finally out to the body through the Aorta.

Front

What is the role of the Right Atrium?

Back

The Right Atrium receives deoxygenated blood from the body through the Superior and Inferior Vena Cava.

Front

What is the function of the Right Ventricle?

Back

The Right Ventricle pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs for oxygenation via the Pulmonary Arteries.
