Understanding Blood Flow Through the Heart

The video explains the flow of blood through the heart, detailing the journey of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood. It describes how oxygenated blood from the body enters the right atrium via the vena cava, moves to the right ventricle, and is pumped to the lungs through the pulmonary artery. The oxygenated blood returns from the lungs to the left atrium via the pulmonary vein, moves to the left ventricle, and is then distributed to the body through the aorta.

Where does the right atrium receive deoxygenated blood from?

• The lungs

• The pulmonary vein

• The vena cava

• The aorta

What is the role of the superior vena cava?

• To pump blood to the lungs

• To return blood from the head and upper limbs

• To carry blood from the lower body

• To transport blood from the lungs

Through which valve does blood move from the right atrium to the right ventricle?

• Pulmonary valve

• Tricuspid valve

• Aortic valve

• Mitral valve

What is the function of the main pulmonary artery?

• To carry oxygenated blood to the body

• To transport deoxygenated blood to the lungs

• To return blood to the heart from the lungs

• To pump blood to the left atrium

Which chamber of the heart receives oxygenated blood from the lungs?

• Right ventricle

• Left ventricle

• Left atrium

• Right atrium

Through which valve does blood move from the left atrium to the left ventricle?

• Aortic valve

• Tricuspid valve

• Pulmonary valve

• Mitral valve

What is the main function of the aorta?

• To transport oxygenated blood to the body

• To carry blood to the lungs

• To pump blood to the right atrium

• To return blood to the heart
