- Which heart chamber receives deoxygenated blood from the body via the superior and inferior venae cavae?
Show answer
The right atrium- Which heart chamber pumps deoxygenated blood into the pulmonary trunk toward the lungs?
Show answer
The right ventricle- Which heart chamber receives oxygenated blood returning from the lungs via the pulmonary veins?
Show answer
The left atrium- Which heart chamber pumps oxygenated blood into the aorta to supply the whole body?
Show answer
The left ventricle- Why does the left ventricle have a thicker myocardial wall than the right ventricle?
Show answer
It must generate much higher pressure to pump blood through the entire systemic circulation- The ____ is the thick muscular wall that separates the left and right ventricles.
Show answer
interventricular septum- What is the muscular wall that separates the right and left atria called?
Show answer
The interatrial septum- What thin, oval depression in the interatrial septum marks the former site of a fetal heart opening?
Show answer
The fossa ovalis- What is the outer layer of the heart wall called?
Show answer
The epicardium- What is the thick, muscular middle layer of the heart wall called?
Show answer
The myocardium- What is the thin inner layer of the heart wall that lines the chambers and valves called?
Show answer
The endocardium- What double-layered sac surrounds and protects the heart?
Show answer
The pericardium- Which atrioventricular valve separates the right atrium from the right ventricle?
Show answer
The tricuspid valve- Which atrioventricular valve separates the left atrium from the left ventricle?
Show answer

Show answer
Three
