Front 1

Where is the pulmonary trunk?

Back 1

the pulmonary trunk branches from the right ventricle

Front 2

What is the function of the pulmonary trunk?

Back 2

branches out into pulmonary arteries which take blood to the lungs

Front 3

Where are atrioventricular valves?

Back 3

between the atria and the ventricles

Front 4

What do atrioventicular valves do when open?

Back 4

blood flows to the ventricles from the atria b/c of greater blood pressure in the atria

Front 5

What do atrioventicular valves do when closed?

Back 5

the valves prevent blood from flowing from the ventricles to the atria

Front 6

Where are the chordae tendineae found?

Back 6

by the atrioventricular valves

Front 7

What is the function of the chordae tendineae?

Back 7

to insure atrioventricular valves don't invert during ventricle contractions

Front 8

What are chordae tendineaes made of?

Back 8

tendon like structures of protien

Front 9

What are semi-lunar valves?

Back 9

valves whose flaps resemble half moons

Front 10

Where are semi-lunar valves?

Back 10

between the r. ventricle and the pulmonary trunk
between the l. ventricle and the atora

Front 11

The pulmonary semilunar valve
Where it is:
What it does:

Back 11

-lies between the r. ventricle and the pulmonary trunk
-blood flows out of the r. ventricle but not back into it

Front 12

The atoric semilunar valve
Where it is:
What it does:

Back 12

-lies between the l. ventricle and the atora
-blood flow from the l. xentricle to the atora

Front 13

Where is the septum found?

Back 13

between the right and the left sides of the heart

Front 14

What is the function of the septum?

Back 14

to separate the pulmonary and the systematic circuits
