Receives deoxygenated blood from the body
The heart contracts because of an electrical impulse. Where in the heart does this impulse start?
sinoatrial node
median cubital vein
drains the anterior elbow
fibular vein
drains into posterior tibial vein; drains lateral compartment of leg
Right ventricle
axillary artery
artery that carries oxygenated blood to the axilla (armpit) area
bicuspid (mitral) valve
between left atrium and left ventricle
, P wave
atrial depolarization
What are the top chambers of the heart called?
atria
Brachiocephalic veins
merge to form the superior vena cava
renal artery
blood vessel that carries blood to the kidney
right atrioventricular valve
tricuspid valve; blood leaving the right atrium flows into right ventricle through this valve

bring oxygen-rich blood from the left lung to the left atrium
internal jugular vein
Vein located at the side of the neck to collect blood from the brain and parts of the face and neck.
Right femoral artery
Name the artery.
What are the bottom chambers of the heart called?
ventricles
brachial artery
The major vessel in the upper extremity that supplies blood to the arm.
left auricle
Identify the flap.
When the heart contracts, this is due to an electrical change called
depolarization
