flow of blood through the heart

Q: If the mitral valve is damaged, which problem may occur?

A: Backflow of blood into the left atrium The mitral valve is on the left side of the heart, separating the ventricle and atrium

True or False: Blood that passes through the mitral valve enters the pulmonary artery.

False. Blood that passes through the mitral valve enters the left ventricle

True or False: Blood that passes through the tricuspid valve enters the left ventricle

False. Blood that passes through the tricuspid valve enters the right ventricle

True or False: The pulmonary valve ensures that blood stays in the aorta

False. The pulmonary valve ensures that blood stays in the pulmonary artery

True or False: After contraction of the left ventricle, blood enters the aorta

True

True or False: After contraction of the right atrium, blood enters the right ventricle

True

True or False: After contraction of the right ventricle, blood enters the pulmonary artery

True

The oxygenated blood is carried back to the:

heart (by the pulmonary veins) into the left atrium, through the mitral valve, and into the left ventricle.

The blood is pushed through the pulmonary valve into the:

pulmonary artery and lungs when the right ventricle contracts (here it picks up oxygen)

Contraction of the left ventricle forces blood through:

the aortic valve, through the aorta, and out the entire body.

The heart consist of four chambers

the right and left atriums and the right and left ventricles

the blood travels into:

the right atrium

The heart consist of four valves that prevent the flow of blood back into the hearts chambers after contraction:

the tricuspid and pulmonary on the right side of the heart and the mitral and aortic on the left side of the heart.

Deoxygenated blood enters into the heart:

through the superior and inferior vena cava

during contraction of the atrium it flows through the:

tricuspid valve into the right ventricle
