Term

 

 

 

Location of atrium?

Definition

 

 

 

 

R and L top chambers

Term

flap-like structures on the surface

Term

 

 

 

 

Location of ventricle

Definition

 

 

 

 

R and L on bottom

Term

Term
Parts of the Internal Gross Anatomy?
Definition

Chambers

Septa

Valves

Chordae Tendinae

Papillary Muscle

Endocardium

Term
What are the two chambers?
Definition

Atrium: R and L

Ventricles: R and L

Term
Why is the left ventricle 3x thicker than right?
Definition

 

 

 

 

Because left pumps blood to the body and right only pumps blood to the lungs.

Term
Two types of septa?

Interatrial Septum

Interventricular Septum

Term
Where is the interatrial Septum?
Definition

 

 

 

 

Between the atrium

Term
Where is the interventricular septum?
Definition

 

 

 

 

between ventricles, and it's thick due to increased pressure
