Q

___, arising from the right ventricle, splits into the right & left ___ pumlonary arteries, which carry blood to the lungs

A

Pulmonary Trunk, Pulmunary Arteries

17
Q

Arising from the L.Ventricle, carries blood to the rest of the body

18
Q

Function of Atria

Bicuspid Valve

22
Q

Drain blood from cardiac muscle

A

Cardiac Veins

A

Epicardium; Visceral Pericardium

25
Thick, middle layer of the heart, composed of cardiac muscle cells; responsible for contra tion of heart chambers
Myocardium
26
Smooth inner surface of the heart, allows blood to move easily throigh the heart
Endocardium
27
Ridges and columns of cardiac muscle
