Solution
- Ventricles are in the diastolic phase. The arrows indicate blood entering the ventricles. During a ventricular diastole, the valves between atria and ventricles open which allow the entry of blood into the ventricles.
- 1: Pulmonary artery
2: Pulmonary veins - Closing of the bicuspid and tricuspid valves causes the ‘LUBB’ sound, and the closing of semilunar valves causes the ‘DUP’ sound.
- Coronary arteries supply oxygenated blood to the heart muscles.
