Where does blood flow after the left atrium?

Back

After the left atrium, blood flows through the bicuspid (mitral) valve into the left ventricle.

Front

What is the role of the aorta?

Back

The aorta is the main artery that carries oxygenated blood from the left ventricle to the rest of the body.

Front

What is the location of the atriums in relation to the ventricles?

Back

The atriums are located above the ventricles.

Front

What is the function of the tricuspid valve?

Back

The tricuspid valve controls blood flow from the right atrium to the right ventricle.

Front

What type of blood does the right ventricle pump?

Back

The right ventricle pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs via the pulmonary artery.

Front

What is the significance of the pulmonic valve?

Back

The pulmonic valve regulates blood flow from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery.

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 heart, while deoxygenated blood is low in oxygen and is carried from the body back to the heart.

Front

What is the role of the inferior vena cava?

Back

The inferior vena cava carries deoxygenated blood from the lower body to the right atrium of the heart.
