Answer 1

Dear Student,

(i) Coronary Artery is located near heart and they are the blood vessels that supply blood to the tissues of the heart. The coronary artery supplies oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscles.
(ii) Thrombocyte is also known as platelet. It plays an important role in normal blood clotting. They are found in bone marrow.
(iii) Mitral valve is located between the atria- upper heart chambers and ventricles- lower heart chambers. It prevents the back flow of the blood from left ventricle to left atrium.
