Study Notes
Blood Flow Through the Heart
-
Superior and Inferior Vena Cava: Major veins returning deoxygenated blood from the body to the heart.
-
Right Atrium: Receives deoxygenated blood from both the superior and inferior vena cava.
-
Right Ventricle: Pumps deoxygenated blood received from the right atrium into the pulmonary artery.
-
Pulmonary Artery: Transports deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs for oxygenation.
-
Lungs: Blood travels to the left and right lungs via the pulmonary arteries to pick up oxygen.
-
Pulmonary Veins: Carry oxygenated blood from the lungs back to the heart.
-
Left Atrium: Receives oxygen-rich blood from the pulmonary veins.
-
Left Ventricle: Accepts oxygenated blood from the left atrium and pumps it into the aorta.
-
Aorta: The largest artery in the body, distributes oxygenated blood from the left ventricle to the entire body.
-
Body: Receives oxygenated blood from the aorta to supply tissues and organs with necessary oxygen.
