Artery definition:
A blood vessel that carries blood away from the heart.
Vein definition:
A blood vessel that carries blood toward the heart.
Most arteries carry:
Oxygenated blood
Most veins carry:
Deoxygenated blood
Exceptions to artery/vein blood oxygenation:
Pulmonary arteries carry deoxygenated blood; pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood.
Most arteries are colored:
Red in illustrations/models
Most veins are colored:
Blue in illustrations/models
Path of blood through the heart (start at right atrium):
Right atrium \to tricuspid valve \to right ventricle \to pulmonary semilunar valve \to pulmonary trunk—> pulmonary artery \to lungs \to pulmonary veins \to left atrium \to bicuspid (mitral) valve \to left ventricle \to aortic semilunar valve \to aorta \to body \to superior/inferior vena cava \to right atrium
Openings that bring blood into the right atrium:
Superior vena cava
Inferior vena cava
Coronary sinus
Number of openings: 3
Structure separating right and left ventricles:
Interventricular septum
Coronary artery supplying the anterior surface of the left ventricle:
Left anterior descending (LAD) artery
Coronary artery supplying the lateral surface of the left ventricle:
Circumflex artery
Coronary artery supplying the right ventricle:
Right coronary artery
Blood returning from the coronary circulation enters:
Right atrium
Openings in the left atrium:
Number: 4
Names: Left and right superior pulmonary veins, left and right inferior pulmonary veins
Heart valves table:
Valve Type | Right Side | Left Side |
|---|---|---|
Atrioventricular (AV) | Tricuspid valve | Bicuspid (Mitral) valve |
Semilunar | Pulmonary semilunar | Aortic semilunar |
