Study Notes
Aves Heart Anatomy
- Right Ventricle: Pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs via the pulmonary arteries for oxygenation.
- Left Ventricle: Responsible for pumping oxygenated blood to the rest of the body through the aorta; has thicker walls than the right ventricle.
- Left Atrium: Receives oxygen-rich blood from the lungs; blood flows from the left atrium to the left ventricle.
- Right Atrium: Collects deoxygenated blood returning from the body via the vena cava before sending it to the right ventricle.
- Vena Cava: Major veins (superior and inferior) that deliver deoxygenated blood from the body back into the right atrium.
- Pulmonary Artery: Transports deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs; bifurcates into left and right branches to supply both lungs.
- Aorta: The largest artery in the body; carries oxygenated blood from the left ventricle to supply all body tissues.
- Brachiocephalic Artery: First major branch of the aorta; supplies blood to the right arm and the head/neck (via right common carotid and subclavian arteries).
- Subclavian Artery: Supplies blood to the arms, with branches that also supply the brain and parts of the thorax.
- Common Carotid Artery: Major arteries that supply blood to the head and neck; bifurcate into internal and external carotid arteries.
