Study Notes
- SVK brings blood back from the upper body to the right ventricle.
- The IVC brings blood back from the lower body to the right ventricle.
- The right atrium is the first chamber of the heart that blood from the body enters.
- The right ventricle is lost after four chambers of the heart; blood travels to the aorta.
- The tricuspid valve is between the right atrium and right ventricle.
- The purpose of the tricuspid valve is to prevent blood flow back into the atrium.
- The pulmonary artery sends deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs.
- Blood is converted back into oxygenated blood in the lungs.
- The pulmonary valve helps send blood back out.
