Pathway of blood ❤️
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Interior Vena Cava / Superior Vena Cava to the | Right Atrium |
| Right Atrium to the | Tricuspid Valve |
| Tricuspid Valve to the | Right ventricle |
| Right Ventricle to the | Pulmonic Valve |
| Pulmonic Valve "P.S.L.V" Pulmonary Semi Lunar Valve to the | L&R Pulmonary arteries |
| L&R Pulmonary Arteries to the | Lungs |
| Lungs "Gas exchange" Alveoli to the | L&R Pulmonary Veins |
| L&R Pulmonary Veins to the | Left Atrium |
| Left Atrium to the | Bicuspid Valve |
| Bicuspid Valve " Mitral Valve" to the | L Ventricles |
| L Ventricle to the | Aortic Valve |
| Aortic Valve "A.S.L.V" Aortic Semi Lunor Valve to the | Aorta |
| Aorta to the | Body |
| Carries oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body. Then returns blood back to the heart | Systemic circulation |
| Carries deoxygenated blood away from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs and returns oxygenated blood to the left atrium and ventricle of the heart | Pulmonary circulation |
| Circulation of blood in the blood vessels that supply the heart muscle | Coronary circulation |
| Alternant circulation around a blocked artery or vein | Collateral circulation |
| The aorta branches off into what two main coronary arteries | Right Coronary Artery (RCA), Left Coronary Artery (LCA) |
| The right side of the heart is smaller because | blood only circulates to the lungs |
| Supplies blood mainly to the right side of the heart and the bottom portion of both ventricles plus the back of the septum | RCA Right Coronary Artery |
| Branches off into the left anterior descending artery (LAD)and circumflex artery (LCX) | Left Coronary Artery (LCA) |
| Supplies blood to the left side of the heart Open the front of the septum. Supplies the strongest portion of the heart through the LAD and LCX | LCA left coronary artery |
| The left side of the heart is larger because | blood circulates to the rest of the body |
| Blockage at the LCA and early part of LED referred to as | Widow maker |
| Supplies blood to the myocardium heart tissue itself | Coronary arteries |
| Delivers oxygenated blood and nutrients to all the heart muscle cells | Coronary capillaries |
| Supplies the majority of oxygenated blood to the ventricular myocardium into the left atrium, left atrial appendage, pulmonary artery, and aortic root | LCA and its branches |
