Anatomy

Valve/VesselFunction
tricuspid valve (between right atrium and right ventricle) prevents blood from moving from right ventricle back into right atrium during ventricular contraction
pulmonary semilunar valve (between right ventricle and pulmonary artery during ventricular relation) prevents blood from moving back from pulmonary artery into right ventricle
bicuspid (mitral) valve (between left atrium and left ventricle) prevents blood from moving from left ventricle during ventricular contraction
aortic semilunar valve (between left ventricle and aorta) prevents blood from moving back from aorta into the left ventricle during ventricular relaxation
artery carries high-pressure blood from heart to arterioles
arteriole connects artery to capillary; helps to control blood flow into capillary by underdoing vasoconstriction or vasodilation
capillary provides semipermeable membrane through which nutrients, gases, and wastes are exchanged between blood and tissues cells; connects arteriole to venule
venule connects capillary to vein
vein carries low-pressure blood from venule to heart; valves prevent backflow of blood; serves as blood reservoir

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
