Heart Anatomy

Front

What is the function of the pulmonary valve?

Back

The pulmonary valve controls blood flow from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery, preventing backflow into the ventricle.

Front

What is the role of the right ventricle?

Back

The right ventricle pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs for oxygenation.

Front

Which chamber of the heart is responsible for pumping oxygenated blood to the body?

Back

The left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood to the entire body.

Front

Where does blood enter the heart after returning from the body?

Back

Blood enters the heart through the right atrium after returning from the body.

Front

What is the primary function of the right side of the heart?

Back

The right side of the heart pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs for oxygenation.

Front

What is the difference between the left atrium and the left ventricle?

Back

The left atrium receives oxygenated blood from the lungs, while the left ventricle pumps it to the body.

Front

What is the purpose of the aortic valve?

Back

The aortic valve regulates blood flow from the left ventricle into the aorta, preventing backflow.

Front

What is the significance of the septum in the heart?

Back

The septum separates the left and right sides of the heart, preventing the mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood.

Front

What is the role of the mitral valve?

Back

The mitral valve allows blood to flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle and prevents backflow.

Front

What is the pathway of blood flow through the heart?

Back

Blood flows from the body to the right atrium, to the right ventricle, to the lungs, to the left atrium, to the left ventricle, and then to the body.
