Human Heart Structure and Function

The video explains the human heart's anatomy, including its location, structure, and components. It details the heart's chambers and how blood flows through them, emphasizing the roles of the atria and ventricles. The function of heart valves, such as the mitral and tricuspid, in preventing backflow is discussed. The video also covers the phases of a heartbeat, diastole and systole, describing the rhythmic contraction and relaxation of heart muscles.

Where is the human heart located?

• In the abdomen

• In the neck

• In the right side of the chest

• In the left central of the chest

What is the function of the pericardium?

• To produce blood cells

• To store oxygen

• To pump blood

• To act as a lubricant and reduce friction

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

• Left atrium

• Left ventricle

• Right atrium

• Right ventricle

What prevents the backflow of blood into the left atrium?

• Mitral valve

• Tricuspid valve

• Aortic valve

• Semilunar valve

What is the role of the septum in the heart?

• To pump blood to the lungs

• To separate oxygenated and deoxygenated blood

• To store blood

• To produce red blood cells

Which blood vessel carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs?

• Aorta

• Superior vena cava

• Pulmonary vein

• Pulmonary artery

What is the function of the superior vena cava?

• To pump blood to the lungs

• To return deoxygenated blood from the head and arms to the heart

• To carry oxygenated blood to the body

• To separate the heart chambers

During which phase do the atria and ventricles relax?

• Diastole

• Ventricular systole

• Atrial systole

• None of the above

What happens during ventricular systole?

• Ventricles contract and blood flows into the pulmonary artery and aorta

• Atria contract and ventricles relax

• Semilunar valves close

• Blood flows into the atria

What is the sequence of phases in a heartbeat?

• Atrial systole, diastole, ventricular systole, diastole

• Diastole, ventricular systole, atrial systole, diastole

• Diastole, atrial systole, ventricular systole, diastole

• Ventricular systole, atrial systole, diastole, ventricular systole
