The Heart Anatomy

Arteries carry oxygenated blood ________ the heart

• to

• away from

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

• Aortic valve

• Pulmonary valve

• Mitral valve

• Tricuspid valve

What is the function of the aortic valve?

• It regulates blood flow from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery.

• It regulates blood flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle.

• It regulates blood flow from the left ventricle into the aorta.

• It regulates blood flow from the right atrium to the right ventricle.

Which sequence correctly represents the flow of blood through the heart?

• Right atrium → Right ventricle → Pulmonary artery → Lungs → Pulmonary veins → Left atrium → Left ventricle → Aorta

• Left atrium → Left ventricle → Pulmonary veins → Lungs → Pulmonary artery → Right atrium → Right ventricle → Aorta

• Right atrium → Left atrium → Right ventricle → Left ventricle → Pulmonary artery → Lungs → Pulmonary veins → Aorta

• Left ventricle → Left atrium → Pulmonary veins → Lungs → Pulmonary artery → Right ventricle → Right atrium → Aorta

Which of the following best describes the pericardium?

• A layer of muscle within the heart

• A double-walled sac containing the heart and the roots of the great vessels

• A valve that prevents backflow of blood

• A type of cell that makes up the heart tissue

The tricuspid valve is located between which two heart chambers?

• Left atrium and left ventricle

• Right atrium and right ventricle

• Right ventricle and pulmonary artery

• Left ventricle and aorta

What is the primary function of the ventricles?

• To receive blood from the body and lungs

• To pump blood to the lungs and the rest of the body

• To filter blood

• To store blood

What part of the heart delivers unoxygenated blood to the lungs?

• Pulmonary artery

• Pulmonary vein

• Aorta

• Left ventricle

What part of the heart delivers richly oxygenated blood to the body?

• Aorta

• Superior vena cava

• Tricuspid valve

• Pulmonary artery

Reorder the following

• lungs

• left atrium

• right atrium
