  10. This part of the heart is found on the left side of the chest.                               ________________
  11. Muscular structures controlling the opening of the AV valves.                           ________________
  12. Forms a barrier around the heart.                                                                           ________________
  13. Directly attached to AV cusps.                                                                                  ________________
  14. Largest region of the heart.                                                                                       ________________
  15. Takes deoxygenated blood away from the heart.                                                 ________________

 

  1. Give correct responses to each of the following. 
  1. Trace the flow of blood from the vena cava to the lungs, back to the heart and out to the aorta. Trace by listing all blood vessels, structures and valves.

 

 

  1. Differentiate pulmonary circuit from systemic circuit.

 

 

  1. How are pulmonary arteries and veins different from regular arteries and veins?

 

 

  1. Base on your measurements of the arterial walls and septum, write a sentence comparing the thickness of the ventricles and septum.

 

 

  1. Match each structure with its function. Write the letter of the structure next to the correct function. 
  1. Pulmonary circuit                               _______ found on the left lung.
  2. Systemic circuit                                   _______ the pericardium is attached to it inferiority
  3. Fossa ovalis                                         _______ prevents blood returning from the aorta
  4. Coronar circulation                            _______ to the lungs and back to the heart
  5. Left ventricle                                       _______ returns blood directly to the left atrium
  6. Right ventricle                                     _______ connected the pulmonary trunk to the aorta
  7. Aortic semilunar valve                       _______ takes blood all over the body
  8. Pulmonary semilunar valve              _______ Blood to and from heart muscles
  9. Cardiac notch                                      _______ remnant of an opening between the L and R atria.
  10. Diaphragm                                          _______ has thick myocardium
  11. Ligamentum arteriosum                   _______ has the most papillary muscles.
  12. Pulmonary veins                                _______ prevents blood from returning to the R ventricle.
  1. Match the disease to its correct description 
  1. Angina                                               __________ abnormally slow heart rate
  2. Aortic aneurysms                            __________ heart defects like ventricular septal defect
  3. Cardiomyophathy                           __________ chest pain associated with heart attacks
  4. pericarditis                                       __________ bulging of the aorta
  5. Tachycardia                                     __________ buildup of fluid in pericardial space
  6. Congenital heart diseases             __________ inflammation of the pericardium
  7. Bradycardia                                      __________ heart muscles are too large  or too thick.
