Fetal pig circulatory system & heart anatomy

A

Right common carotid artery - delivers oxygenated blood to the head & neck

B

Right subclavian artery - delivers oxygenated blood to the upper body

C

Brachiocephalic artery - delivers oxygenated blood to the upper body

D

Coronary artery - delivers oxygenated blood to the heart

E

Posterior vena cava - carries deoxygenated blood from the lower body to the right side of the heart

G

Left common carotid artery - delivers oxygenated blood to the upper body

H

Left subclavian artery - carries oxygenated blood to the upper body

I

Pulmonary artery - delivers deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs

J

Left atrium - delivers oxygenated blood to the left ventricle

K

Left ventricle - delivers oxygenated blood to the systemic circuit

L

Renal vein - delivers blood from the kidney & ureter to the inferior vena cava

M

Renal artery - delivers blood from the kidney & ureter to the inferior vena cava

O

Umbilical artery - carries deoxygenated blood to the placenta

P

Left atrium

Q

Bicuspid valve - allows blood to flow from the left ventricle to the aorta

R

Right chordae tendinae - hold AV valves in place

S

Left ventricle

T

Apex - pumps blood out of the ventricles

U

Interventricular septum - divides the right and left ventricles

V

Right ventricle

W

Left chordae tendinae - hold AV valves in place

X

Tricuspid valve

Y

Right atrium

Z

Aortic semilunar valve - prevent backflow
