Front

What is the function of the Pulmonary Valve?

Back

The Pulmonary Valve controls blood flow from the right ventricle to the pulmonary arteries, preventing backflow into the heart.

Front

What is the role 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 is the Aortic Valve?

Back

The Aortic Valve is a valve that opens to allow blood to flow from the left ventricle into the aorta, preventing backflow into the heart.

Front

What is the Right Ventricle's function?

Back

The Right Ventricle pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs through the pulmonary arteries for oxygenation.

Front

What is the Septum?

Back

The Septum is the wall that separates the left and right sides of the heart, preventing the mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood.

Front

What are the Pulmonary Arteries?

Back

The Pulmonary Arteries carry deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs for oxygenation.

Front

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 Superior Vena Cava?

The Superior Vena Cava is a large vein that carries deoxygenated blood from the upper body to the right atrium of the heart.

Front

What is the function of the Tricuspid Valve?

Back

The Tricuspid Valve controls blood flow from the right atrium to the right ventricle, preventing backflow into the atrium.

Front

What is the Bicuspid Valve (Mitral Valve)?

Back

The Bicuspid Valve, also known as the Mitral Valve, controls blood flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle.
