Right ventricle

The video tutorial discusses the anatomy and function of the right ventricle, one of the heart's lower chambers. It explains how the right ventricle collects deoxygenated blood from the right atrium and pumps it to the lungs via the pulmonary artery. The video also covers the anatomical features of the right ventricle, including its borders, the conus arteriosus, and the tendon of the conus arteriosus. Additionally, it compares the muscle mass of the right and left ventricular walls and provides information on the blood volume they can contain. The tutorial concludes with a promotion of Ken Hub as a resource for further anatomy learning.

What is the primary function of the right ventricle?

• To collect deoxygenated blood from the right atrium and pump it to the lungs

• To pump oxygenated blood to the body

• To collect deoxygenated blood from the body

• To pump oxygenated blood to the lungs

Which structure borders the right ventricle antero-superiorly?

• The diaphragm

• The sternum

• The left atrium

• The pulmonary artery

What is the role of the ventricular septum in the right ventricle?

• It pumps blood into the pulmonary artery

• It creates a transverse semi-lunar cross section

• It separates the right and left atria

• It forms the apex of the heart

Where is the conus arteriosus located in the right ventricle?

• In the lower right corner

• Near the apex

• In the upper left corner

• In the center

How does the thickness of the right ventricular wall compare to the left?

• It is 3 to 6 times thicker

• It is 3 to 6 times thinner

• It varies depending on the individual

• It is the same thickness
