Smooth muscle

18
Q

Where are a series of one way valves located?

A

In the veins

19
Q

What is the purpose of the one-way valves in the veins?

A

Keep the blood moving back to the heart

20
Q

What are heart beats simulated by?

A

Neural nodes

21
Q

What is the function of the sinoatrial node?

A

Signals to the atria to contract

22
Q

What is the functions of the atrioventricular node?

A

Signals the ventricles to contract

23
Q

What is the Chordae Tendinae?

A

Cords of connective tissue that keep the tricuspid and bicuspid valves from overshooting

24
Q

What is another name for red blood cells?
