The bicuspid or mitral valve is located

between left atrium and left ventricle

The right atrium receives blood from the

inferior vena cava

Blood returning from the lungs enters the

left atrium

The left and right pulmonary arteries carry blood to the

lungs

The right ventricle pumps blood to the

lungs

The layer of the heart wall that contains cardiac muscle tissue, blood vessels, and nerves is the

myocardium

Blood leaving the right ventricle enters the

pulmonary artery

The following is a list of vessels and structures that are associated with the heart. 1. right atrium 2. left atrium 3. right ventricle 4. left ventricle 5. venae cavae 6. aorta 7. pulmonary trunk 8. pulmonary veins What is the correct order for the flow of blood entering from the systemic circulation?

5, 1, 3, 7, 8, 2, 4, 6

The pulmonary semilunar valve guards the entrance to the

pulmonary trunk

The "double pump" function of the heart includes the right side, which serves as the ____ circuit pump; the left side serves as the ____ pump.

pulmonary; systemic

Blood returning from the systemic circuit first enters the

right atrium

The entrance to the aorta is guarded by

semilunar valve

The left ventricle pumps blood to the

systemic circuit

The major difference between the left and right ventricles relative to their role in heart function is that

the left ventricle pumps blood through the high-resistance systemic circulation

The atrioventricular valve located on the right side of the heart is the

tricuspid valve

The portion of the pericardial membrane that lies on the surface of the heart is the

visceral pericardium

The folds of fibrous tissue that ensure a one-way flow of blood from the atria into ventricles are the

atrioventricular valves

The function of an atrium is to

collect blood

The heart's inner surface, including the heart valves, is covered by the

endocardium

The visceral pericardium (outer surface covering) is the same as the

epicardium

The left and right pulmonary veins carry blood to the

heart
