It is a large-diameter (24 mm) short length vein that receives venous return from the upper half of the body, above the diaphragm.]]> 2020-01-30 17:41:05 UTC https://padlet.com/kimberly617/CardiovascularSystem/wish/438324719 kimberly617 https://padlet.com/kimberly617/CardiovascularSystem/wish/438327636 The right upper chamber of the heart. The right atrium receives deoxygenated blood from the body through the vena cava and pumps it into the right ventricle which then sends it to the lungs to be oxygenated.]]> 2020-01-30 17:45:29 UTC https://padlet.com/kimberly617/CardiovascularSystem/wish/438327636 kimberly617 https://padlet.com/kimberly617/CardiovascularSystem/wish/438329342 The tricuspid valve functions as a one-way valve that closes during ventricular systole to prevent regurgitation of blood from the right ventricle back into the right atrium. It opens during ventricular diastole, allowing blood to flow from the right atrium into the right ventricle.]]> 2020-01-30 17:48:03 UTC https://padlet.com/kimberly617/CardiovascularSystem/wish/438329342 kimberly617 https://padlet.com/kimberly617/CardiovascularSystem/wish/438330646 The right ventricle is the chamber within the heart that is responsible for pumping oxygen-depleted blood to the lungs.]]> 2020-01-30 17:50:02 UTC https://padlet.com/kimberly617/CardiovascularSystem/wish/438330646 kimberly617 https://padlet.com/kimberly617/CardiovascularSystem/wish/438332635 The pulmonary valve (sometimes referred to as the pulmonic valve) is the semilunar valve of the heart that lies between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery and has three cusps.]]> 2020-01-30 17:52:51 UTC https://padlet.com/kimberly617/CardiovascularSystem/wish/438332635 kimberly617 https://padlet.com/kimberly617/CardiovascularSystem/wish/439776004 The pulmonary veins are the veins that transfer oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart. The largest pulmonary veins are the four main pulmonary veins, two from each lung that drain into the left atrium of the heart.]]> 2020-02-03 17:08:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kimberly617/CardiovascularSystem/wish/439776004 kimberly617 https://padlet.com/kimberly617/CardiovascularSystem/wish/439777743 The left atrium is one of the four chambers of the heart, located on the left posterior side. Its primary roles are to act as a holding chamber for blood returning from the lungs and to act as a pump to transport blood to other areas of the heart.]]> 2020-02-03 17:10:33 UTC https://padlet.com/kimberly617/CardiovascularSystem/wish/439777743 kimberly617 https://padlet.com/kimberly617/CardiovascularSystem/wish/439778603 The left ventricle is one of four chambers of the heart. It is located in the bottom left portion of the heart below the left atrium, separated by the mitral valve. As the heart contracts, blood eventually flows back into the left atrium, and then through the mitral valve, whereupon it next enters the left ventricle.]]> 2020-02-03 17:11:48 UTC https://padlet.com/kimberly617/CardiovascularSystem/wish/439778603 kimberly617 https://padlet.com/kimberly617/CardiovascularSystem/wish/439780615 The aortic valve is a valve in the human heart between the left ventricle and the aorta. It is one of the two semilunar valves of the heart, the other being the pulmonary valve. The heart has four valves; the other two are the mitral and the tricuspid valves.]]> 2020-02-03 17:14:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kimberly617/CardiovascularSystem/wish/439780615 kimberly617 https://padlet.com/kimberly617/CardiovascularSystem/wish/439780874 the main artery of the body, supplying oxygenated blood to the circulatory system.
