What is the function of the Mitral valve?

Back

The Mitral valve controls blood flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle, preventing backflow during ventricular contraction.

Front

What is the role of the Coronary artery?

Back

The Coronary artery supplies oxygenated blood to the heart muscle itself.

Front

Identify the location of the aortic semilunar valve.

Back

The aortic semilunar valve is located at the exit of the left ventricle, leading into the aorta.

Back

The Aorta is the largest artery in the body, responsible for carrying oxygenated blood from the left ventricle to the rest of the body.

Front

What are the two main phases of the cardiac cycle?

Back

The two main phases are Systole (contraction) and Diastole (relaxation).

Front

What is the purpose of the Tricuspid valve?

Back

The Tricuspid valve regulates blood flow from the right atrium to the right ventricle.

Front

What is the Pulmonary artery's function?

Back

The Pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs for oxygenation.

Front

What is the significance of the heart's septum?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of the heart valves?

Back

Heart valves ensure unidirectional blood flow through the heart chambers and prevent backflow.
