        Help!  

Question
Answer
circuit which takes blood to and from the lungs   pulmonary circuit  
🗑
circuit in which vessels transport blood to and from the body tissues   systemic circuit  
🗑
part of the heart which receives blood from the pulmonary and systemic circuits   atria  
🗑
part of heart which function as the pumping chambers for the pulmonary and systemic circuits   ventricles  
🗑
where is the opening for the coronary sinus?   the right atrium  
🗑
covering of the heart   pericardium  
🗑
external layer of the pericardium   fibrous pericardium  
🗑
how many layers form the serous pericardium?   2  
🗑
what is the outer layer of the serous pericardium?   parietal pericardium  
🗑
what is the inner layer of the serous pericardium?   visceral pericardium  
🗑
another name for the visceral pericardium   epicardium  
🗑
the heart wall is comprised of how many layers?   3  
🗑
the external layer of the heart wall   epicardium  
🗑
the epicardium is also known as   visceral pericardium  
🗑
middles layer of the heart wall, consisting of cardiac muscle tissue   myocardium  
🗑
inner layer of the heart wall, forms the heart valves   endocardium  
🗑
referred to as internal divisions between the right atrium and left atrium, and right ventricle from left ventricle   septa  
🗑
an external groove that marks the division between the atria and ventricles   coronary sulcus  
🗑
external grooves that mark the division between the ventricles on both the anterior and posterior side of the heart   anterior and posterior interventricular sulcus  
🗑
the receiving chamber for oxygen-poor blood from the systemic circuit   right atrium  
🗑
the superior vena cava is formed in the   right atrium  
🗑
receives oxygen-poor blood draining superior to the diaphragm   superior vena cava  
🗑
the inferior vena cava is formed in the   right atrium  
🗑
receives oxygen-poor blood draining inferior to the diaphragm   inferior vena cava  
🗑
receives oxygen-poor blood draining from the walls of the heart itself   coronary sinus  
🗑
remnant of a fetal circulatory structure   fossa ovalis  
🗑
where is the fossa ovalis found?   right atrium  
🗑
valve located between the right atrium and right ventricle (2 names)   tricuspid valve, right AV valve  
🗑
the pumping chamber for the pulmonary circuit   right ventricle  
🗑
vessel leaving the right ventricle, pumps oxygen-poor blood to the lungs   pulmonary trunk  
🗑
cone-shaped muscles projecting from the ventricular wall   papillary muscles  
🗑
thin strong bands attached to the papillary muscles and the flaps of the tricuspid valve, help prevent backflow of blood from right atrium to right ventricle   chordae tendinae  
🗑
where are the chordae tendinae and papillary muscles located?   the ventricles  
🗑
valve located at the base of the pulmonary trunk   pulmonary semilunar valve  
🗑
receiving chamber for oxygen-rich blood   left atrium  
🗑
receives oxygen-rich blood returning from the right lung   2 right pulmonary veins  
🗑
recevies oxygen-rich blood returning from the left lung   2 left pulmonary veins  
🗑
the four pulmonary veins empty into   left atrium  
🗑
located between the left atrium and left ventricle (3 names)   bicuspid valve, mitral valve, left AV valve  
🗑
pumping chamber for the systemic circuit   left ventricle  
🗑
vessel which leaves the left ventricle   aorta  
🗑
valve located at the base of the aorta   aortic semilunar valve  
🗑

🗑
which has thicker walls, atria or ventricles?   ventricles  
🗑
which ventricle has walls 3 times thicker than the other?   the left ventricle  
🗑
this system sets the heart's intrinsic heart rate   conducting system  
🗑
the "internal pacemaker" of our heart   sinoatrial node  
🗑
the sinoatrial node is located   right atrium  
🗑
these autonomic nervous system fibers slow the heart rate   parasympathetic  
🗑
these autonomic nervous system fibers increase the heart rate   sympathetic  
🗑
these two arteries supply blood to the heart itself   left and right coronary arteries  
🗑
this structure drains the blood supply from the walls of the heart   coronary sinus  
🗑
c-like structures marking the opening of the vessels in the right atrium   crista terminalis  
🗑
