Heart Anatomy

Identify the Aorta and Its Function

• Largest artery in the body

• Responsible for distributing oxygenated blood from the left ventricle to all parts of the body via systemic circulation

Identify the Pulmonary Veins and Its Function

• Carry oxygenated blood from the lungs back to the left atrium of the heart

Identify the Pulmonary Artery and Its Function

• Carries deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs for oxygenation

Identify the Inferior Vena Cava and Its Function

• Carries deoxygenated blood from the lower body (legs, abdomen, and lower organs) to the right atrium

Identify the Superior Vena Cava and Its Function

• Carries deoxygenated blood from the upper body (head, neck, arms, and chest) back to the right atrium of the heart

Identify the Aortic (Semilunar) Valve

• Between the left ventricle and aorta

Identify the Pulmonary (Semilunar) Valve

• Between the right ventricle and pulmonary artery

Identify the Bicuspid/Mitral (Atrioventricular) Valve

• Between the left atrium and left ventricle

Identify the Tricuspid (Atrioventricular) Valve

• Between the right atrium and right ventricle

Identify the Left Ventricle and Its Function

• Pumps oxygenated blood to the body via the aorta.

Identify the Left Atrium and Its Function

• Receives oxygenated blood from the lungs

Identify the Right Ventricle and Its Function

• Pumps blood to the lungs via the pulmonary artery

Identify the Right Atrium and Its Function

• Receives deoxygenated blood from the body
