Heart Anatomy Practice

Front

What is the Apex of the heart?

Back

The Apex is the pointed tip of the heart, located at the bottom of the left ventricle, and is responsible for the heart's contraction.

Front

What is the function of the aorta?

Back

The aorta is the largest artery in the body, responsible for carrying oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body.

Front

Where is the Pulmonary Valve located?

Back

The Pulmonary Valve is located between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery, controlling blood flow from the heart to the lungs.

Front

What are the four chambers of the heart?

Back

The four chambers of the heart are the left atrium, right atrium, left ventricle, and right ventricle.

Front

What is the role of the right ventricle?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of the left atrium?

Back

The left atrium receives oxygenated blood from the lungs through the pulmonary veins.

Front

What is the function of the mitral valve?

Back

The mitral valve controls blood flow between the left atrium and left ventricle, preventing backflow.

Front

What is the role of the vena cava?

Back

The vena cava is responsible for returning deoxygenated blood from the body back to the right atrium of the heart.

Front

What is the difference between arteries and veins?

Back

Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart, while veins carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart.

Front

What is the significance of the heart's septum?

Back

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