      • Transport oxygenated blood to the heart
  • What structure divides the left from the right ventricle?
    • Interventricular septum
  • When the ventricles contract, what is the role of the bicuspid valve?
  • To prevent blood from flowing from the left ventricle to the left atrium
  • Where is the tricuspid valve located?
    • Between the right atrium and right ventricle
      • Which part of the heart does the superior vena cava empty into?
        • It empties deoxygenated blood into the right atrium
      • Which blood vessels carry oxygenated blood?
        • Pulmonary veins in the heart and arteries through the rest of the body
      • How many cusps does the aortic semilunar valve have? Where, in the

heart, is it located?
