- is the blood leaving the right ventricle oxygenated or deoxygenated?
- is the blood leaving the left ventricle oxygenated or deoxygenated?
- what is the job of the aorta?
Brief Explanations
- The human heart has four distinct chambers.
- The upper chambers of the heart are called atria (singular: atrium).
- The lower chambers of the heart are called ventricles.
- The two large veins that deliver deoxygenated blood to the right atrium are the superior and inferior vena cava.
- The pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs for oxygenation.
- The pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood from the lungs back to the left atrium of the heart.
- The tricuspid valve is located between the right atrium and the right ventricle.
- The bicuspid (mitral) valve is located between the left atrium and the left ventricle.
- Blood leaving the right ventricle is deoxygenated, as it is en route to the lungs.
- Blood leaving the left ventricle is fully oxygenated, ready to be pumped to the entire body.
- The aorta is the body's main artery; it carries oxygenated blood from the left ventricle to all tissues and organs of the body.
