Q

Name the order in which blood circulates in the heart.

left ventricle, right ventricle, left and right atriums.

A

Right atrium (gets the deoxygenated blood from IVC),

This blood is sent to the right ventricle and gets the deoxygenated blood from the right atrium and forces it to the lungs

it then goes to the left atrium once the blood is oxygenated from the lungs, and sends it to the

left ventricle which then gives it to the aorta.

Q

Why is the right lung shorter than the left?

A

because the liver is in the way.

Pericardium
myocardium
endocardium

46
Q

The sac is enclosed within what layer of the heart/
