Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is the name of the septum that separates the left and right ventricles?

Answer: Interventricular septum

The word Septum is the Latin term for wall, the prefix Inter- means between. Interventricular septum is the wall between the ventricles.

2. The actual wall of the heart includes epicardium, endocardium, and what other layer?

Answer: myocardium

Myocardium is the actual cardiac muscle and fibrous skeleton, the latter of which prevents the overstretching of the vessels and valves.

3. Which chamber of the heart is the sinoatrial node located in?

Answer: Right Atrium

The sinoatrial node, which is also known as the heart's natural pacemaker, is located in the upper part of the right atrium.

4. What is the largest vein in the body?

Answer: Inferior Vena Cava

The inferior vena cava is the largest vein in the body, and it delivers deoxygenated blood into the right atrium. The aorta is the largest artery in the body, and the ulnar vein is located in the forearm.

5. Which valve is NOT a valve in the human heart?

Answer: Micuspid

The four valves in the human heart are the tricuspid valve, pulmonary valve, aortic valve, and the bicuspid valve, which is also known as the mitral valve.

6. What are the two semilunar valves?

Answer: pulmonary and aortic valves

The tricuspid and bicuspid valves are atrioventricular valves.

7. What structure prevents atrioventricular valve prolapse?

Answer: Chordae tendineae

Chordae tendineae are the tendons that extend from the papillary muscles to the atrioventricular valves. They assist in making the blood flow in one direction.

8. What covers the atria?

Answer: auricles

The auricles cover the right and left atrium. Auricle comes from the Greek word for ear.

9. The heart sits symmetrically between your lungs.

Answer: False

The heart sits asymmetrically, it takes away space from the left lung. Therefore, the left lung is smaller than the right lung.

10. What valve is located between the left atrium and the left ventricle?

Answer: mitral valve

The mitral valve, which is also known as the bicuspid valve, is an atrioventricular valve between the left atrium and the left ventricle.
