Cardiovascular System: Heart Structure

1. Label the heart.

Drag the terms to the correct locations on the heart diagram below. You can restart the activity by using the blue button on the right. You will not be able to move labels around once placed.
Left Ventricle
Right Ventricle
Left Atrium
Pulmonary Vein
Right Atrium
Aorta
Bicuspid Valve
Tricuspid Valve
Aorta (Lower)
Pulmonary Artery
Vena Cava

2. Describe the pathway of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood through the heart

Type your answer in the box then check your answer against the model answer.

Oxygenated Blood
Oxygenated blood enters the heart from the lungs via the Pulmonary Vein into the Left Atrium. From here it travels through the bicuspid valve to the Left Ventricle. Next, the oxygenated blood travels through the semilunar valve and out of the heart, via the Aorta and around the body

Deoxygenated Blood
Deoxygenated blood enters the heart from the body via the Vena Cava (Superior and inferior) into the Right Atrium. From here it travels through the tricuspid valve to the Right Ventricle. Next, the deoxygenated blood travels through semilunar valve and out of the heart, via the Pulmonary Artery to the lungs
