Chapter 16- Heart Chambers/Valves/Great Vessels
Right Ventricle
A stenotic (narrowed) pulmonic valve causes hypertrophy of the muscle of this chamber.
Left Ventricle
A stenotic left semilunar valve causes hypertrophy of the myocardium of this chamber.
Left Atrium
An incompetent mitral/bicuspid valve allows the retrograde flow of blood from the left ventricle into this structure.
Pulmonary Artery
An incompetent right semilunar valve allows the retrograde flow of blood from this structure into the right ventricle.
Left Ventricle
Blood flows through the left AV valve into this structure.
Left Ventricle
Blood flows through the mitral (Bicuspid) valve into this structure.
Right Atrium
Blood flows through the right atrioventricular (AV) valve from this chamber.
Right Ventricle
Blood flows through the tricuspid valve into this chamber.
Pulmonary Artery
Blood is pumped through the pulmonic valve into this chamber.
Pulmonary Artery
Blood is pumped through the right semilunar valve into this structure.
Left Ventricle
Chamber that pumps oxygenated blood to the systematic circulation system
Left Atrium
Chamber that receives oxygenated blood from the lungs through four pulmonary veins.
Coronary Arteries
Delivers oxygenated blood to the myocardium
Coronary Veins
Drain unoxygenated blood from the myocardian
The Atria
Receiving chambers of the heart
Left Ventricle
The aorta receives blood from this
Left Ventricle
The aortic valve separates the aorta from this structure
Left atrium and Left Ventricle
The bicuspid valve separates these two structures.
Left Ventricle
The hardest working chamber
Aorta
The left ventricle pumps blood into this structure
Left Ventricle
The myocardium is thickest in this chamber.
Left Atrium
The pulmonary veins empty blood into this structure.
Pulmonary Artery
The right ventricle pumps blood into this structure.
Right Atrium
The superior and inferior venae cavae empty blood into this chamber that is unoxygenated
Right Atrium and Right Ventricle
The tricuspid valve separates these two structures.
Right Ventricle
This is the chamber that pumps unoxygenated blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery.
Interventricular septum
This separates the two pumping chambers
