|
|
Term
| The right atrium then contracts and shuts off? |
|
Definition
the TRICUSPID VALVE. (located between the R. Atrium and the R. lower ventricle).
The Tricuspid valve is one directional preventing back flow of deoxygenated blood. |
|
|
Term

|
Definition
|
|
Term
| The Pulmonary Artery Valve then pushes deoxygenated blood into the?? |
|
Definition
| Lungs (Pulmonary) carbon dioxide CO2is released and the blood is infused with O2. |
|
|
Term
| Once the oxygen is infused into the blood. Where is the next place it goes into the heart from the longs. |
|
Definition
| PULMONARY VEINS (only veins in the body that carries oxygen) |
|
|
Term
| Pulmonary veins pump oxygenated blood into what? |
|
Definition
| upper Left Pulmonary Artery (which then contracts and effects the Mitral Valve. |
|
|
Term
| oxygenated(O2) blood is going past the Pulmonay veins (left side)prevented in back flow by what? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| what is the next chamber affected by oxygenated blood flow. |
|
Definition
| lower Left Ventricle (thickest layered wall of the four heart chambers). |
|
|
Term
| Why is this the thickest walled chamber?? |
|
Definition
| It is the thickest because it must push the Oxygenated blood back in the rest of the body parts. |
