Pulmonary Artery
The artery that carries deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs for oxygenation.
Coronary Arteries
The arteries that supply oxygenated blood to the heart muscle, ensuring it has the necessary nutrients to function.
Deoxygenated Blood
Blood that is low in oxygen and high in carbon dioxide, typically returning to the heart from the body.
Right Ventricle
The chamber of the heart responsible for pumping deoxygenated blood to the lungs via the pulmonary artery.
Oxygenated Blood
Blood that has been enriched with oxygen in the lungs, which is then delivered to the body and the heart muscle.
