Functions of Heart Components

What is the main function of the aorta in the heart?

• To receive deoxygenated blood from the body

• To carry blood away from the heart to the rest of the body

• To pump blood into the lungs

• To separate the right and left sides of the heart

Which valve allows blood to leave the heart from the left ventricle?

• Tricuspid valve

• Bicuspid valve

• Aortic valve

• Pulmonic valve

What is the role of the left atrium in the heart?

• To pump deoxygenated blood to the lungs

• To receive deoxygenated blood from the body
