endocardium
lines inside chambers of heart

pericardium
surrounds and protects heart in mediastinum

pouch like extensions

left and right ventricles
lower chambers

superior vena cava
return oxygen poor blood to heart

inferior vena cava
return oxygen poor blood to heart

pulmonary trunk
removes blood from right ventricle

left pulmonary artery
carries blood from the right ventricle to the left lung

right pulmonary artery
takes blood from the right ventricle to the right lung

left pulmonary vein
carries oxygenated blood from the left lung to the left atrium

right pulmonary vein

tunica intima
endothelium; provides a physical support for epithelial; internal elastic membrane

tunica media
relatively thick layer; vasoconstriction and dilation

tunica externa
outer layer, attaches vessel to surrounding tissue; also called adventitia

valves of vein
many are one-way; two flaps with edges that meet; think of swinging doors
