What Separates the Two Atria?
|
Interatrial Septum
|
|
What Separates the two centricles?
|
Atrio-Ventricular Septum
|
|
what vessels feed the heart tissue itself?
|
culinary arteries
|
|
How do papillary muscles play a role in which direction blood flows?
|
it keeps blood flowing in one direction by controlling the opening and closing of the valves.
|
|
why is there a difference in thickness among the walls of the ventricles?
|
the right ventricles pumps blood to the lungs which requires a lower pressure, so its walls are thinner than the left ventricle which must pump the blood to the rest of the body
