Anatomy
The four chambers, the four valves, and what flows where. Ten cards, written by Lovelydeck as a starter deck.
Add the deck and FSRS schedules all 10, on your account, with your own decks beside it.
Add to my decksWhich chamber receives deoxygenated blood from the body?
The right atrium, via the superior and inferior venae cavae.
Which valve sits between the right atrium and the right ventricle?
The tricuspid valve.
Which valve sits between the left atrium and the left ventricle?
The mitral (bicuspid) valve.
Which chamber pumps blood into the aorta?
The left ventricle.
Which valve does blood pass through leaving the right ventricle?
The pulmonary valve, into the pulmonary trunk.
Which valve opens from the left ventricle into the aorta?
The aortic valve.
Which chamber has the thickest wall, and why?
The left ventricle, because it pumps against systemic pressure.
What attaches the cusps of the atrioventricular valves to the papillary muscles?
The chordae tendineae.
Which chamber receives oxygenated blood from the lungs?
The left atrium, via the four pulmonary veins.
Which valves close to make the first heart sound?
The atrioventricular valves, tricuspid and mitral.
Add it to your account and FSRS schedules the reviews. Then point Lovelydeck at your own lecture.
