Heart Anatomy Quiz

Left Ventricle

• The left ventricle is responsible for pumping oxygenated blood throughout the body.
• It is the strongest chamber of the heart and generates high pressure to circulate blood efficiently.

Tricuspid Valve

• The valve between the right atrium and right ventricle is called the tricuspid valve.
• It prevents backflow of blood from the ventricle to the atrium.

Pulmonary Artery

• The pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs for oxygenation.
• It is the only artery in the body carrying deoxygenated blood.

Septum

• The septum is a wall that separates the left and right sides of the heart.
• This prevents mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood, ensuring efficient circulation.

Left Atrium

• The left atrium receives oxygenated blood from the lungs through the pulmonary veins.
• This blood is then pumped into the left ventricle to be distributed to the rest of the body.
