The heart has four chambers the smaller ones are called the left and right [1]. The larger ones are called the left and right ventricles. The left ventricle pumps blood out into the [2] which is the largest artery in the [3] circulation. The right ventricle pumps blood into the [4] artery. Fill in the blanks from the following options; systemic, pulmonary, atria, aorta |
1) Atria 2) Aorta 3) Sysytemic 4) Pulmonary |
|
|
The cardiac impulse that passes through the heart originates from the [1] node. The impulse from this passes through the atria and is transmitted next to the [2] node. From here the impulse is carried through the ventricular septum via the [3] of his and then spread through the ventricles via the [4] fibres. |
1) sinoatrial 2) atrioventricular 3) bundle 4) purkinje |
|
|
The muscular part of the heart wall is called the [1]. This is thickest in the [2] ventricle. This ventricle supplies the [3] circulation. |
1) myocardium 2) left 3) systemic
