Document Summary
Use the terms on the table below to fill out the answers to the questions. Some terms can be used more than once. Other terms may not be used at all. Increased ventricular pressure: oxygenated, decreased ventricular pressure. Inferior vena cava: pectinate muscles, deoxygenated, endocardium. ___ (deox/oxy) & will pass into the ___. 1: systemic trunk, superior vena cava, tricuspid valve, unbranched. Blood in the pulmonary veins is _____ __ (deoxy/oxy) & will enter the __. Trace the flow of blood from the right atrium to the lungs. (include valves). Trace the flow of blood from the lungs to the systemic tissues. (include valves) lungs - - systemic tissues. These muscles located in the right atrium are responsible for pushing the last drops of blood into the right ventricles. These connective tissue strings help hold the atrioventricular valves in place, so they aren"t pushed into the atria when the ventricles contract.
