Blood vessels that carry blood back to the heart from lungs *but* they carry *OXYGENATED* blood. #8 in picture
PULMONARY arteries
aorta
PULMONARY veins
vena cava
Blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart *but* they carry *DEOXYGENATED* blood. #6 in picture
aorta
PULMONARY veins
vena cava
PULMONARY arteries
First part of Cardiac Conduction System: This *PACEMAKER* sends action potentials to both atria causing them to contract.
Sinoatrial (SA) Node
AV node
Second part of Cardiac Conduction System: This structure receives a signal and passes it on to the Bundle of His
Purkinje fibers
Atrioventricular (AV) node
Sinoatrial (SA) Node
Third part of Cardiac Conduction System: This structures branches down from septum and out towards each ventricle. They *relay* the signal to the Purkinje fibers.
Atrioventricular (AV) node
Sinoatrial (SA) Node
Bundle of His
Purkinje fibers
They send action potentials to the cells in the ventricles, causing them to contract.
Atrioventricular (AV) node
Sinoatrial (SA) Node
Bundle of His
Purkinje fibers
Largest artery in the body that carries blood from left ventricle to the rest of the body. #5 in picture
aorta
vena cava
PULMONARY veins
PULMONARY arteries
Receiving chambers of the heart; found in upper half of heart. #3 & #7 in picture
ventricles
atria
Lower chambers of the heart that are larger and more muscular in order to pump blood out of the heart. #2 & #9 in picture
septum
atria
ventricles
One of two large vessels (superior and inferior) that return deoxygenated blood to the right atrium of the heart. #1 & #4 in picture.
PULMONARY veins
PULMONARY arteries
aorta
vena cava
This side of the heart pumps oxygenated blood:
Right side
Left side
Both sides
Neither side
Deoxygenated blood travels from the right atrium to the right ventricle through this valve:
Mitral Valve
Aortic Valve
Pulmonary Valve
Tricuspid Valve
This valve allows the passage of blood from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery:
Tricuspid Valve
Mitral Valve
Aortic Valve
Pulmonary Valve
This structure prevents the backwards movement of blood:
Ventricle
Valve
Atrium
Vein
Which valves separate ventricles and arteries?
The semi-lunar valves
The atrioventricular valves
The largest artery in the body is the:
Aorta
Pulmonary Artery
Carotid Artery
Brachiocephalic Artery
Blood from the Inferior and Superior Vena Cava empties into the: #3 in picture.
Right ventricle
