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 |
