Heart Worksheet (Put answers in color)
1. What is the protective membrane covering of the heart called? Pericardium

2. Which chambers of the heart receive blood from the veins? Atria

3. What chambers of the heart are known as pumping chambers? Ventricles

4. What is the name of the blood vessel that brings venous blood from the head, neck,
and arms to the right atrium? Superior Vena cava

5. What is the name of the blood vessel that brings venous blood from the abdomen
and legs into the right atrium? Inferior Vena Cava

6. What is the name of the blood vessel that takes deoxygenated blood from the right
ventricle to the lungs? Pulmonary artery

7. What is the name of the blood vessels that take oxygenated blood from the lungs to
the left atrium? Pulmonary veins

8. The largest artery in the body is the Aorta

9. The smooth lining of the interior of the heart is called Endocardium

10. The valve between the right atrium and the right ventricle is known as the tricuspid

And the valve between the left atrium and the left ventricle is known as the Bicuspid

11. The valves between the ventricles and blood vessels are known as the Semilunar
Valves

12. Complete flow of blood through the heart. Blood entering the ( right ) flows
through the (tricuspid valve ) and into the (right ventricle ) . From there, the
deoxygenated blood flows past the ( pulmonary semilunar ) and in through the
pulmonary artery and then to the ( lungs ). Oxygenated blood leaves the lungs
through the Pulmonary veins and enters the ( left atrium ).

13. What do the semilunar valves do? They have pockets that catch blood and close
the opening.

14. What is the pacemaker of the heart? SA Node

15. List and describe the hearts cardiac conduction system location.
a. SA Node the pacemaker of the heart
b. AV Node send impulses to the ventricles
c. Bundle in the septum
d. Purkinje in the heart wall of nerve impulses

16. a. What is systole? Pressure of a ventricle contraction

b. What is diastole? Pressure of ventricular relaxation

17. What is the stroke volume? The volume of blood pumped from the left ventricle per
beat

18. What is cardiac output? The amount of blood your heart pumps each minute.

19. a. What vessels carry blood away from the heart? The pulmonary arteries
b. What vessels carry blood to the heart? Pulmonary veins

20. Describe atherosclerosis. A disease in which plaque builds up inside your arteries.
