forcing blood into the pulmonary and systemic circulation?

ventricle?

preventing the mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood?
a) Interventricular septum
b) Interatrial septum
c) Atrioventricular septum

atrium?
a) Pulmonary artery
b) Pulmonary vein
c) Aorta
d) Superior vena cava

11. Which component of the cardiac conduction system is known as the
“pacemaker” of the heart?
a) Atrioventricular (AV) node
b) Bundle of His
c) Purkinje fibers

cardiac circulation?

and both the atrioventricular (AV) and semilunar valves are closed?
a) Ventricular systole
b) Diastole
c) Isovolumetric contraction
d) Atrial systole
15. What is the function of the coronary sinus in the heart?

atrium
