Activity 4.1.

2-Anatomy Of The
Heart
Coronary Artery:
Supplies Blood To The Heart Muscle

Apex:
The Point At The Bottom Of The
Heart

Differentiate Between The Functions

Of The Left And Right Ventricles:
The Left Ventricle Pumps Blood
To The Body And The Right
Ventricle Pumps Blood To The
Lungs
Explain The Functions Of The Left And Right
Atria: The Atrias Hold Blood For The Next
Chamber

Explain The Function Of The Superior Vena

Cava: The Superior Vena Cava Brings
In The Blood From The Chest, Arms
And Head

Explains The Function Of The Aorta: The

Aorta Brings Oxygenated Blood TO The
Rest Of The Body

Explain The Function Of The Pulmonary Veins: The

Pulmonary Veins Bring Oxygenated Blood From
Lungs To The Heart
Use Your Metric Ruler To Measure The Thickness, In
Millimeters, Of The Atrium Wall. Record The
Measurement: I Did Not Measure It But I Did Notice
That It Was Thicker.

Describe The Function Of The Tricuspid Valve: The

Function Of The Mitral Valve Is To Prevent
The Blood From Going The Wrong Way

Compare The Thickness Of The Wall Of The Left

Ventricle TO The Wall Of The Right Ventricle: The
Left Ventricle Has A Thicker Wall Because It Needs
More Muscle
Explain The Function Of The Mitral Valve: The Function
Of The Mitral Valve Is To Prevent The Blood From
Going The Wrong Way
Why Would The AORTA Be Thicker Than Other Blood
Vessels? The AORTA Because Is Thicker Because The
Pumped Blood Goes Through It At A High Speed. If
It Isnt Thick It Would Burst.
Left Ventricular Hypertrophy Is When The Left
Ventricle Is Bigger Than Usual. This Could Be
Because Anna Had High Blood Pressure.
Conclusion:
35. Two Differences Is That One Deals With
Oxygenated Blood And The Other Doesnt.
Another Is That One Receives Blood And The
Other Pumps Blood.
36. The Aorta Is Thick, So When The Heart Pumps
Blood Through It The Aorta Doesnt Burst.
37. Arterys Are Easier To Get Clogged Because
They Have A Smaller Diameter. Veins Have Less

Pressure Going Through Them Because It Has A

Bigger Diameter.
38. Mitral Valve Prolapse Can Be A Problem
Because The Blood Would Go The Other Direction.
When This Happens The Person Will Be Tired
Because Not Enough Blood Goes Through All The
Muscles.
39. Hypertrophy Can Be A Problem Because The
Person Will Be Tired
