14. Name the specific structures.
Correct Answer
Papillary Muscle, Papillary MusclesExplanation
The specific structures being referred to in this question are the papillary muscle and papillary muscles. The papillary muscle is a small, cone-shaped muscle found in the ventricles of the heart. It attaches to the cusps of the atrioventricular valves (mitral and tricuspid valves) via chordae tendineae, which helps to prevent the valves from inverting during ventricular contraction.

The right ventricle is the chamber where #14 is located. The heart has four chambers - the left and right atria, and the left and right ventricles. The right ventricle is responsible for pumping oxygen-depleted blood from the heart to the lungs to be oxygenated. It receives blood from the right atrium and contracts to push the blood through the pulmonary artery.Rate this question:
- 16.
16. Name the valve.
Correct Answer
Tricuspid ValveExplanation
The correct answer is Tricuspid Valve. The tricuspid valve is located between the right atrium and the right ventricle in the heart. It consists of three leaflets or cusps that open and close to regulate the flow of blood from the atrium to the ventricle. When the right atrium contracts, the tricuspid valve opens to allow blood to flow into the right ventricle. When the right ventricle contracts, the valve closes to prevent backflow of blood into the atrium.Rate this question:
- 17.
17. Is the blood that flows through #16 oxygenated or deoxygenated?
Correct Answer
deoxygenatedExplanation
The blood that flows through #16 is deoxygenated. This means that it has already delivered oxygen to the body's tissues and is returning to the heart and lungs to pick up more oxygen. Deoxygenated blood is typically darker in color because it contains less oxygen and more carbon dioxide.Rate this question:
- 18.
18. Name the structures (NOT the valve!)
Correct Answer
Chordae TendineaeExplanation
Chordae tendineae are fibrous cords that connect the papillary muscles to the cusps of the atrioventricular valves in the heart. They play a crucial role in preventing the valves from inverting or prolapsing during ventricular contraction, ensuring the proper flow of blood through the heart.Rate this question:
- 19.
19. Name the valve.
Correct Answer
Pulmonary Semilunar ValveExplanation
The valve mentioned in the question is the Pulmonary Semilunar Valve. This valve is located between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery. Its main function is to prevent the backflow of blood from the pulmonary artery into the right ventricle. When the right ventricle contracts, the valve opens, allowing blood to flow into the pulmonary artery. When the ventricle relaxes, the valve closes, preventing blood from flowing back into the ventricle. This ensures that blood is directed towards the lungs for oxygenation and prevents it from flowing back into the heart.Rate this question:
- 20.

- 21.
21. Name the vessels.
Correct Answer
Pulmonary ArteriesExplanation
The vessels mentioned in the question are called pulmonary arteries. These arteries carry deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs, where it is oxygenated. The oxygenated blood is then returned to the heart through the pulmonary veins. The pulmonary arteries are an essential part of the circulatory system and play a crucial role in maintaining the oxygenation of blood throughout the body.Rate this question:
- 22.
22. Name the valve.
Correct Answer
Aortic Semilunar ValveExplanation
The correct answer is Aortic Semilunar Valve. This valve is located between the left ventricle and the aorta in the heart.
