Worksheet 2 1

Diagram 1 shows a longitudinal section of the human heart. It labels valves X and Y and asks about their functions. Valve X is the mitral valve, which allows blood to flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle. If valve Y, the tricuspid valve, does not function properly, blood cannot flow properly from the right atrium to the right ventricle. The right ventricle has a thicker wall than the right atrium to pump blood to the lungs against resistance. The left ventricle has a thicker wall than the right ventricle to pump blood to the whole body. Structure Z is the sinoatrial node, which initiates electrical signals and maintains the heartbe
