Study Notes

Heart Anatomy and Components

Aortic Semi-Lunar Valve: Regulates blood flow from the left ventricle to the aorta.
Ascending Aorta: Major artery that carries oxygenated blood from the left ventricle to the body.
Bicuspid Valve: Also referred to as the mitral valve; it controls blood flow between the left atrium and left ventricle.
Brachiocephalic Artery: First branch of the aorta, supplying blood to the right arm and the head.
Descending Aorta: Continuation of the aorta as it travels downward through the thorax and abdomen.
Inferior Vena Cava: Major vein that carries deoxygenated blood from the lower body back to the heart.
Interventricular Septum: Thick wall separating the left and right ventricles, essential for proper heart function.
Left Atrioventricular Valve: Another name for the bicuspid or mitral valve, managing blood flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle.
Left Atrium: Chamber of the heart that receives oxygen-rich blood from the pulmonary veins.
Left Common Carotid Artery: Supplies blood to the left side of the head and neck.
Left Coronary Artery: Supplies blood to the left side of the heart, branching into the circumflex artery and the left anterior descending artery.
Left Pulmonary Artery: Carries deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the left lung for oxygenation.
Left Pulmonary Veins: Transmit oxygenated blood from the left lung back to the left atrium.
Left Subclavian Artery: Supplies blood to the left arm and part of the brain.
Left Ventricle: Chamber responsible for pumping oxygenated blood to the body.
Mitral Valve: Also known as the bicuspid valve, located between the left atrium and ventricle.
Myocardium: The heart muscle responsible for contracting and pumping blood.
Pulmonary Semilunar Valve: Controls blood flow from the right ventricle into the pulmonary trunk.
Pulmonary Trunk: Transports deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs via the pulmonary arteries.
Right Atrioventricular Valve: Commonly known as the tricuspid valve, it regulates blood flow between the right atrium and right ventricle.
Right Atrium: Receives deoxygenated blood from the superior and inferior vena cavae.
Right Coronary Artery: Supplies blood to the right side of the heart.
Superior Vena Cava: Major vein that carries deoxygenated blood from the upper body to the right atrium.
Right Pulmonary Artery: Carries deoxygenated blood to the right lung for oxygenation.
Right Ventricle: Pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs for oxygenation.
Right Pulmonary Veins: Bring oxygenated blood from the right lung to the left atrium.
Tricuspid Valve: The valve located between the right atrium and right ventricle, also known as the right atrioventricular valve.
