Lymphatic system function

The lymphatic system helps the circulatory system by transporting lipids and supporting bodily defense.

Heart's pacemaker

The sinoatrial node (SA node) sets the heart's rhythm.

Heart valves function

Heart valves (tricuspid, bicuspid, semilunar) ensure one-way blood flow.

Heart's electrical pathway

The nodes (SA, AV), bundle of His, and Purkinje fibers transmit electrical signals for heart contraction.
