Human Anatomy Disection

Pulmonary Artery

Arises from the right ventricle, carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs for oxygenation.

Inferior Vena Cava

Large vein that returns deoxygenated blood from the body to the right atrium.

Superior Vena Cava

Large vein that returns deoxygenated blood from the upper body to the right atrium.

Pulmonary Veins

Multiple small veins that carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium.

Aorta

The largest artery in the body that carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body.

Right Atrium

Upper chamber of the heart that receives deoxygenated blood from the body.

Left Atrium

Upper chamber of the heart that receives oxygenated blood from the lungs.

Right Ventricle

Lower chamber of the heart that pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs.

Left Ventricle

Lower chamber of the heart that pumps oxygenated blood to the body.

Tricuspid Valve

Valve between the right atrium and right ventricle that prevents backflow of blood.

Bicuspid (Mitral) Valve

Valve between the left atrium and left ventricle that prevents backflow of blood.

Aortic Valve

Semilunar valve between the left ventricle and aorta that prevents backflow into the left ventricle.

Pulmonary Valve

Semilunar valve between the right ventricle and pulmonary artery that prevents backflow into the right ventricle.

Bronchial Tubes

Branching airways inside the lungs that carry air from the trachea to alveoli.
