After teaching a group of students about blood flow through the heart, the instructor determines that the teaching was successful when the students state that after being received by the atria, the blood goes to which of the following?
Chordae tendineae
Precordium
Ventricles
Semilunar valves
The Correct Answer is C
C. Ventricles: After blood is received by the atria, it flows through the atrioventricular (AV) valves into the ventricles.
A. Chordae tendineae: These are the tendinous cords that anchor the AV valves but are not the structures where blood flows.
B. Precordium: This term refers to the area of the chest wall over the heart, not a chamber of the heart where blood flows.
D. Semilunar valves: These valves are located between the ventricles and the arteries (pulmonary and aortic) and are not the immediate next location for blood after the atria.
