1. What is the function of the septum? of the left side of the heart? of the heart valves?
The function of the septum is to separate the two sides of the heart. The left side of the heart takes in oxygen rich blood, the the valves prevents back flow of blood to the heart.
2. What is the function of the right side of the heart? the function of the right side of the heart is to pump deoxygenated blood into the pulmonary veins around the lungs.
3. What are the major blood vessels that bring blood into the right side of the heart? out of the right side of the heart?
The major blood vessels that bring blood into the right side of the heart are the right pulmonary veins and the right ventricle carries the blood out.

Name the four valves of the heart and state what the function is of each valve.
Tricuspid valve- closes upper right chamber that hold blood coming from the body and prevent back flow into the heart.
Pulmonary valve- allows blood to be pumped out of the heart to the lungs
Mitral valve- allows blood to pass from upper left side to the lower left side.
Aortic valve- opens and allow blood to leave the heart
6. What is systole? What is diastole?
A systole is the phase of the heartbeat where the heart muscle contracts, and pumps the blood from the chambers into the arteries. The diastole is the phase of the heart where the heart muscle relaxes and the chambers fill with blood.
7. What is pulmonary circulation? What is arterial circulation?
Pulmonary circulation is the movement of blood from the heart to the lungs and back to the heart again. Arterial circulation is part of the circulatory system that involves the arteries which transports blood away from the heart.
8. What are the three main parts of the electrical system of the heart?
The three main parts are the SA nodes, AV nodes, and His-Purkinje system
9. What is the job of the SA node? Why is the electrical signal slowed by the AV
