The heart has three chambers: left atrium, right atrium, and ventricle.

Oxygenated blood flows from the heart to the lungs for re-oxygenation.

The heart does not have its own blood supply.

The left side of the heart is responsible for systemic circulation.

Understanding the blood's oxygenation level as it passes through the heart and body is not important.

The heart's valves play a minor role in ensuring proper blood flow through the heart.

The term 'coronary' originates from the word 'corona' which means 'heart' in Latin.

Pulmonary and pulmonic are interchangeable terms used to describe lung-related functions in the cardiovascular system.

Systemic circulation refers to blood circulation related to the heart and its immediate surroundings only.

The parietal layer in the body is always firmly attached to the organ it surrounds.

The term 'CVS' is a commonly used abbreviation for the cardiovascular system.

When looking at pictures of the heart, it appears as a mirror image view due to animal orientation.

The heart has only one pump that circulates blood to different parts of the body.

The nasal septum is an example of a septum found in the heart separating ventricles.

Oscultation involves listening to sounds such as heart and lung sounds using a stethoscope.

The term 'visceral' usually refers to connective tissue layers that line body cavities.

Arteries always carry blood out of the heart, while veins always bring blood back to the heart.

Oxygenated blood means that red blood cells are carrying oxygen, while deoxygenated blood means red blood cells have given up their carbon dioxide.

The cardiovascular system primarily pumps deoxygenated blood to all tissues in the body.

White blood cells in the cardiovascular system play a role in healing and inflammation.

The main function of the coronary arteries is to supply blood to the heart muscle.

Veins are always blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart.

Cardiac muscle in the ventricular walls contracts to push blood into the aorta.

The cardiovascular system plays a crucial role in eliminating waste products from tissues.

Blood flows from the heart to the lungs to get rid of oxygen and take in more carbon dioxide.

Understanding normal cardiovascular function is essential in identifying issues during anesthesia procedures.

The apex beat is the point where we can feel the heartbeat the softest.

The apex beat is usually located around the fifth intercostal space.

In animals, you would typically find the apex beat just behind or just above the knee.

Anesthetized patients are expected to have heart rates within the normal range as they are under sedation.

A lean pet may have a visible apex beat because they have a lot of fat covering their heart.

The base of the heart is usually the smallest part, resembling the tip of an upside-down pyramid.

Cranial means towards the tail of the animal.

The heart chambers are divided into three main parts.

Costal ribs refer to ribs that are located between other ribs.

'Coronary' derives its meaning from being associated with the head of an animal.

Atria are the smaller chambers located at the lower part of the heart.

The ventricles receive blood from the atria when they contract and pump blood out through great vessels.

Deoxygenated blood from the body enters the right atrium of the heart.

Oxygenated blood from the lungs enters the left atrium of the heart.

The left ventricle pumps deoxygenated blood to the body.

The interventricular septum is a dividing wall between the atria.

The function of heart valves is to allow backflow of blood during heart contraction and relaxation.

Pulmonary arteries carry deoxygenated blood to the lungs for oxygenation.

All heart chambers contain skeletal muscle in their walls.

The cardiac muscle in ventricular walls contracts to push blood out into the aorta and pulmonary arteries.

Arteries usually carry deoxygenated blood away from the heart.

Veins always carry deoxygenated blood towards the heart.

Papillary muscles help pull on heart valves to make them work efficiently.

The term 'pulmonary arteries and veins' refer to blood vessels that carry oxygenated blood.

There are no exceptions in the direction of blood flow for arteries and veins in the cardiovascular system.

The main function of the stringy cord-like tendons in the heart valves is to assist in valve contraction.

The tricuspid valve is located between the left atrium and left ventricle.

The mitral valve is also known as the bicuspid valve.

Semilunar valves are found in the arteries leaving the heart.

The pulmonic valve is in the pulmonary artery, while the aortic valve is in the aorta.

Atrioventricular valves are responsible for preventing backflow of blood into the ventricles.

Semilunar valves have three cusps each.

The term 'atrioventricular' indicates that these valves are positioned between atria and arteries.

Atrioventricular valves are named based on their anatomical location within the heart.

The cordae tendinae are similar to cords and tendons that help support the heart's valves.

The main function of semilunar valves is to regulate blood flow between atria and ventricles.
