Chapter 21, Problem 8RFT
Summary Introduction
To review:
Match the term right pulmonary vein with the most closely related descriptions given below:
Vein to the left atrium
Covers outer surface of the heart
Supplies blood to heart muscle
Lines inner surface of fibrous pericardium
Slow heart rate
Functional syncytium
Muscular wall of the heart
Relaxation phase of the cardiac cycle
Vein to the right atrium
Contraction phase of the cardiac cycle
Introduction:
The arteries and the veins carry oxygenated and deoxygenated blood, respectively, in the body. There are a few exceptions to this and the pulmonary vein and artery is one of them. The pulmonary vein carries oxygenated form of blood, whereas the pulmonary artery supplies the deoxygenated blood.
