Understanding the Heart and Cardiovascular System

The video explains the heart's role as a pump in the cardiovascular system, detailing its structure, function, and the process of blood circulation. It covers how oxygen-poor blood returns to the heart, is oxygenated in the lungs, and then pumped to the body. The video also describes the function of heart valves, the mechanics of heartbeats, and the heart's blood supply through coronary arteries. Additionally, it highlights the heart's electrical system that maintains a coordinated rhythm essential for continuous blood circulation.

What is the primary function of the heart in the cardiovascular system?

• To store oxygen

What is the role of the right side of the heart?

• To store blood

• To pump blood to the lungs

• To collect oxygen-rich blood

• To pump blood to the body

What is the role of the left side of the heart?

• To collect oxygen-poor blood

• To store oxygen

• To pump blood to the body

Which of the following is NOT a valve in the heart?

• Mitral valve

• Pulmonary valve

• Tricuspid valve

• Coronary valve

What happens during systole?

• The heart relaxes

• The ventricles contract

• The heart stops

• The atria fill with blood

What supplies the heart with oxygen-rich blood?

• Aorta
