Left atrium and left ventricle {Ans: The mitral (bicuspid) valve is between which chambers of the heart?}endo {Ans: means inner}right atrium, left atrium, right ventricle, and left ventricle. {Ans: The chambers of the heart are the __________.}aeortic valve {Ans: Which valve is highlighted in the image pictured? After the ventricle has contracted, pressure from blood trying to rush back into the ventricle from the aorta fills the cusps and closes the valve. Just above the cusps are the openings to the coronary arteries. The back flowing blood supplies the myocardium (heart muscle).}mitral valve {Ans: What is locared between the left atrium and left ventricle}base {Ans: located at the level of the third costal cartilage or the third bone of the rib cage}left atrium {Ans: receives blood from the lungs through the pulmonary veins}superior vena cava {Ans: The _________ brings deoxygenated blood from the neck and upper extremities to the right atrium.}semilunar {Ans: determine the passage of blood between the ventricles and the main arteries, transporting blood away from the heart to the vital organs}They propel blood from the heart during ventricular diastole. Their elastic properties are essential to accommodate the volume
