| pulmonary valve | located between right ventricle and pulmonary artery |
| mitral valve | between left atrium and left ventricle |
| aortic valve | valve between left ventricle and aorta |
| pulmonary circulation | providing exchange of gases |
| pulmonary arteries | carry oxygenated blood into lungs |
| pulmonary veins | carry oxygenated blood to left atrium |
| systemic circulation | includes flow of blood to all parts of body except lungs |
| Where does blood that is low in oxygen and high in carbon dioxide enter the heart? | Enters through the venae cavae and right atrium |
| what is the valve called that blood passes through when it leaves the right atrium? | tricuspid valve |
| After blood becomes oxygenated in the lungs, what are the vessels called that return it to the heart? | Aortas |
| What chamber of the heart does oxygenated blood return to? | Through the mitral valve and into the aorta. |

| what is it called when ventricles relax? | Dupp |
| A complete heart beat is also known as? | Cardiac cycle |
| what valves open and allow the ventricles to fill with blood? | the mitral valve and left ventricle |
| how much blood enters the ventricles before it contracts? | 100ml of blood |
| what happens to the rest of the blood? | forcing the blood into the relaxed ventricles |
| what are the atria doing when the ventricles are contracting? | relaxing |
| what does a heartbeat heard through a stethoscope sound like? | lupp-dupp |
| when does the first part of a heart occur? | when ventricles contract |
| when does the second part occur? | when ventricles relax |
