To solve this worksheet, we need to identify the different parts of the human heart based on their location in the diagram.
Important Tip: When looking at a medical diagram of the heart, remember that "Left" and "Right" refer to the person's body, not your left and right as you look at the page. So, the
Right side of the heart is on the Left side of the image, and the
Left side of the heart is on the Right side of the image.
Here is the step-by-step identification for the labels:
1.
Top Center (The big arch): The large vessel arching over the top is the
Aorta. It carries oxygen-rich blood to the rest of the body.
2.
Top Left of Image (Person's Right): The large vein bringing blood into the top chamber is the
Superior Vena Cava.
3.
Middle Left of Image (Person's Right): The chamber receiving blood from the Superior Vena Cava is the
Right Atrium.
4.
Bottom Left of Image (Person's Right): The thick-walled chamber below the Right Atrium is the
Right Ventricle.
5.
Top Right of Image (Person's Left): The vessel carrying blood away from the Right Ventricle towards the lungs is the
Pulmonary Artery.
6.
Middle Right of Image (Person's Left): The veins bringing oxygen-rich blood back from the lungs are the
Pulmonary Veins.
7.
Center Right of Image (Person's Left): The chamber receiving blood from the Pulmonary Veins is the
Left Atrium.
8.
Bottom Right of Image (Person's Left): The largest, strongest chamber at the bottom is the
Left Ventricle.
9.
Very Bottom Point: The tip of the heart is called the
Apex.
There are also valves located between the chambers and vessels:
* Between the Right Atrium and Right Ventricle is the
Tricuspid Valve.
* Between the Left Atrium and Left Ventricle is the
Bicuspid (or Mitral) Valve.
* At the base of the Pulmonary Artery is the
Pulmonary Valve.
* At the base of the Aorta is the
Aortic Valve.
Based on the lines in the diagram, here are the correct labels for the blank spaces:
Left Side of Worksheet (Top to Bottom):
1. Superior vena cava
2. Pulmonary artery
3. Right atrium
4. Tricuspid valve
5. Right ventricle
Right Side of Worksheet (Top to Bottom):
1. Aorta
2. Pulmonary veins
3. Left atrium
4. Bicuspid (Mitral) valve
5. Left ventricle
6. Apex
*(Note: Depending on the specific number of lines provided on your printed sheet, some smaller structures like the inferior vena cava or specific valves might be included or excluded, but the list above covers the main anatomical features shown.)*
Final Answer:
Left Column Labels:
1. Superior vena cava
2. Pulmonary artery
3. Right atrium
4. Tricuspid valve
5. Right ventricle
Right Column Labels:
1. Aorta
2. Pulmonary veins
3. Left atrium
4. Bicuspid (Mitral) valve
5. Left ventricle
6. Apex
