Question 01Trace the route of blood from the venae cavae to the aorta.
Answer

Venae cavae → right atrium → tricuspid valve → right ventricle → pulmonary valve → pulmonary arteries → lungs → pulmonary veins → left atrium → mitral valve → left ventricle → aortic valve → aorta.

Question 02Which heart chamber receives blood returning from the systemic circulation?
Answer

The right atrium receives deoxygenated blood from the superior and inferior venae cavae and the coronary sinus.

Question 03Which chamber pumps blood into the pulmonary circulation?
Answer

The right ventricle pumps blood through the pulmonary valve into the pulmonary trunk and pulmonary arteries.

Question 04Which chamber pumps blood into the systemic circulation?
Answer

The left ventricle pumps blood through the aortic valve into the aorta.

Question 05What is the difference between pulmonary and systemic circulation?
Answer

Pulmonary circulation carries blood between the heart and lungs; systemic circulation carries blood between the heart and the rest of the body.
