Heart Dissection

What is the function of the coronary blood vessels?

• To pump blood to the lungs

• To supply oxygen to the heart itself

• To carry deoxygenated blood away from the heart

• To deliver blood to the brain

Which ventricle has more muscle and why?

• Right ventricle, because it pumps blood to the lungs

• Left ventricle, because it receives blood from the lungs

• Left ventricle, because it pumps blood to the whole body

• Right ventricle, because it pumps blood to the whole body

What is the role of the pulmonary veins?

• To carry oxygenated blood to the lungs

• To transport blood from the heart to the rest of the body

• To carry deoxygenated blood to the heart

• To deliver oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart

What does the bicuspid valve do?

• Regulates blood flow from the right atrium to the right ventricle

• Controls blood flow from the left ventricle to the aorta

• Prevents backflow of blood into the left atrium from the left ventricle

• Separates the left atrium from the pulmonary veins

How does blood flow through the heart?

• From the right ventricle to the left ventricle, then directly to the aorta

• Directly from the lungs to the left ventricle without passing through the atria

• From the body to the right atrium, then to the lungs and back to the left side

• From the left atrium to the left ventricle, then to the body
