What forms the apex of the heart?
The left ventricle forms the apex of the heart.
Where is the blood coming from as it enters each chamber of the heart?
Blood enters the right atria from the superior and inferior vena cava. Then it flows down into the right ventricle. Then to the lungs. Back to the left atria. Down into the left ventricle and out the the rest of the body.
What two veins pump blood into the heart?
Pulmonary artery (to the lungs) Aorta (to the rest of the body.)
What blood vessels carry oxygen poor blood toward the heart?
With one exception, veins carry oxygen-poor blood back to the heart. The largest and last blood vessel they pass through is called the superior vena cava. The exception is the Pulmonary Vein, which carries oxygen-rich blood from the lungs to the heart to be pumped to the rest of the body.
Is the apex of the heart superior or inferior to the rest of the heart?
The apex of the heart is the most inferior part of the heart.
Where does the inferior surface of the heart rest?
The heart does not rest on its base.
The superior vena cava returns blood to the heart from what parts of the body?
The superior vena cava brings blood back from the upper part of the body. The inferior vena cava drains the rest of the body.
What race of people is better than the rest of the races of people?
There is no superior or inferior race.
What vessel does blood that is entering the right atrium of the heart come from?
The blood enters through the superior and inferior vena cava.
Blood vessels that return deoxygenated blood to the heart?
Superior vena cava which delivers blood to the right atrium from the head, neck, upper limbs and chest.Inferior vena cava carries blood to the right atrium from the rest of the trunk, the viscera, and the lower limbs.The cardiac veins of the heart return blood to the coronary sinus that opens into the right atrium inferior to the connection with the superior vena cave.
What are the blood vessels that bring oxygenated blood back to the heart?
The inferior and superior vena cavae bring deoxygenated blood back to the heart from the rest of the body. From there it goes through the heart, to the lungs, back through the heart, then to the body.
What brings blood in the right atrium from the upper body?
Deoxygenated blood returns to the heart from the rest of the body via the inferior vena cava which brings blood from the lower half of the body and the superior vena cava which brings blood from the upper half of the body. The inferior and superior vena cava join at the right atrium of the heart.
What forms the apex of the heart?
The left ventricle forms the apex of the heart.
What is the large vein that directs blood to the right atrium?
The superior vena cava brings deoxygenated blood into the heart, into the right atrium. The superior vena cava is formed by union of the right and left brachiocephalic (innominate) veins.
Where does the apex of the heart rest upon?
The lowest part of the human heart is its apex. The apex is overlapped by the pleura and the lung and is about 8 to 9 centimeters from the mid-sternal line. Another way to describe the location of the apex of the heart is the fifth intercostal space at the left midclavicular line.
Where does the blood go when it doesn't carry oxygen?
Deoxygenated blood returns to the heart through the veins, specifically the superior and inferior vena cavae. From there, it is pumped to the lungs to pick up oxygen before being circulated to the rest of the body.
