    Study Notes

    • Brachiocephalic Trunk: Major artery that supplies blood to the right arm and the head; it branches into the right common carotid artery and right subclavian artery.

    • Left Common Carotid Artery: Arises directly from the aortic arch; it supplies blood to the left side of the head and neck.

    • Superior Vena Cava: Large vein that carries deoxygenated blood from the upper body back to the right atrium of the heart.

    • Aortic Arch: Curved section of the aorta that gives rise to major arteries supplying the head, neck, and upper limbs.

    • Ligamentum Arteriosum: Fibrous remnant of the ductus arteriosus; connects the pulmonary trunk to the aorta, acting as a landmark.

    • Right Pulmonary Artery: Carries deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the right lung for oxygenation.

    • Ascending Aorta: Section of the aorta that rises from the heart; it carries oxygenated blood to the body.

    • Right Pulmonary Veins: Transport oxygenated blood from the right lung to the left atrium.

    • Pulmonary Trunk: Arises from the right ventricle and splits into the left and right pulmonary arteries; carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs.

    • Right Atrium: First chamber of the heart that receives deoxygenated blood from the body through the superior and inferior vena cavae.

    • Right Coronary Artery: Supplies blood to the right side of the heart, including the right atrium and part of the right ventricle.

    • Anterior Cardiac Vein: Drains the right ventricle and empties into the right atrium, providing alternate venous return.

    • Right Ventricle: Heart chamber responsible for pumping deoxygenated blood to the lungs via the pulmonary trunk.

    • Right Marginal Artery: Branch of the right coronary artery that supplies blood to the right ventricle's surface.

    • Inferior Vena Cava: Large vein that carries deoxygenated blood from the lower body to the right atrium.

    • Left Pulmonary Artery: Transports deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the left lung for oxygenation.

    • Left Pulmonary Veins: Carry oxygenated blood from the left lung to the left atrium.

    • Auricle of Left Atrium: Small muscular pouch extending from the left atrium, increasing its capacity.

    • Circumflex Artery: Branch of the left coronary artery that supplies blood to the left atrium and posterior part of the left ventricle.

    • Left Coronary Artery: Supplies blood to the left side of the heart, dividing into the anterior interventricular and circumflex arteries.

    • Left Ventricle: Chamber that pumps oxygenated blood into the aorta for distribution to the body.

    • Great Cardiac Vein: Drains blood from the front of the heart; runs alongside the anterior interventricular artery.

    • Anterior Interventricular Artery: Supplies blood to the anterior parts of both ventricles; critical for heart muscle function.

    • Apex: The pointed tip of the heart, located at the bottom of the left ventricle; important for heart orientation.

    • Left Subclavian Artery: Supplies blood to the left arm; branches off the aortic arch.

    • Small Cardiac Vein: Drains the right atrium and the right ventricle, typically associated with the right coronary artery pathways.
