Two structures only found in the ventricles of the heart:
Papillary muscles -
Chordae tendineae -
13
finger like muscles only found within the ventricles of the heart. Used to regulate or control specific heart valves.

Aortic (semilunar) valve -
17
consist of 3 distinct sections or cusps - control the opening between the right atrium and right ventricle. Regulated or controlled by papillary muscles and chordae tendineae which are only found in the right ventricle of the heart.
tricuspid valve
18
consist of 3 distinct sections or cusps. Controls the opening between the right ventricle and the pulmonary trunk.
Relies on backflow of blood to fill up the cusps to prevent it from going back into the chamber.
pulmonary (semilunar) valve
19
the only heart valve that consists of two distinct sections or cusps. Controls the opening between the left atrium and left ventricle. The papillary muscles and chordae tendineae controls this valve and are only located in the left ventricle of the lower chamber of the heart.
bicuspid (mitral) valve
20

Layers of Blood vessels (Arteries) -Outer most to inner most
Tunica adventitia (tunica externa)
Tunica media (muscle layer)
Tunica intima (interna) .
58
outer most layer of the three layers (elastic tissue) of blood vessels. Function is to allow the embalmer to stretch the vessel to the surface.
Tunica adventitia (tunica externa)
59
middle layer of a three layer blood vessel. Known as smooth (visceral) muscles. Allow for shipment of blood.
Tunica media (muscle layer)
60
inner most layer. The only layer continuous, which means it is found in every blood vessel of the human body
Tunica intima (interna)
61
a three layered blood vessels that carries blood HIGH in oxygen away from the heart of a living person.
artery
62
As arteries move away from the heart they lose which layer?
tunica adventitia layer
63
(tiny arteries) - a two layer blood vessel carrying blood away from the heart of a living person. Only contains tunica media and tunica intima
Arteriole
64
As the artery continues to move away from the heart the next (2nd) layer lost is?
tunica media (muscle layer)
65
a single layered blood vessel. Only contains tunica intima
It is at this point that the arterial portion of the blood vascular system unites with the venous portion of the blood vascular system and the process reverse.
In Reverse - The tunica media (muscle layer) reappears
capillary
66
(a tiny vein) -two layered blood vessel carrying blood toward the heart of a living person.
The Tunica adventitia (externa) then reappears
venule
67
three layered blood vessel that carries blood toward the heart of a living person
veins
68
Layers making up a vein are ________ than that of an artery.
thinner
69
The capillary level is where life occurs. The walls are so thin blood has to line up to pass.
Veins are the suction side as blood moves toward the heart of a living person. Veins start small and as the venule or tunica media (muscle layer) reappears, it leaves a two layer vein carrying blood to the heart. As blood continues, the tunica intima (interna), third layer, or vein reappears carrying blood toward the heart of a living person. Layers of a vein are thinner and can be ruptured more easily. 85% of blood shifts to the venous side of the body following death. Veins are equipped with valves to prevent the back flow of blood going towards the heart of a living person from going to the lowest point to prevent the back flow.
