Study Notes
Heart Anatomy
- Superior Vena Cava: Blood vessel that carries deoxygenated blood from the upper body to the right atrium.
- Inferior Vena Cava: Blood vessel that carries deoxygenated blood from the lower body to the right atrium.
- Right Atrium: Receives deoxygenated blood from the body through the vena cava.
- Tricuspid Valve: Located between the right atrium and right ventricle, prevents backflow of blood.
- Right Ventricle: Receives deoxygenated blood from the right atrium, pumps blood to the lungs via the pulmonary artery.
- Pulmonary Valve: Located between the right ventricle and pulmonary artery, controls blood flow to the lungs.
- Pulmonary Artery: Carries deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs.
- Pulmonary Veins: Carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium.
- Left Atrium: Receives oxygenated blood from the pulmonary veins.
- Mitral Valve: Located between the left atrium and left ventricle, prevents backflow of blood.
- Left Ventricle: Receives oxygenated blood from the left atrium, pumps blood throughout the body via the aorta.
- Aortic Valve: Located between the left ventricle and aorta, prevents backflow of blood.
- Aorta: The largest artery in the body, carries oxygenated blood from the left ventricle to the rest of the body.
- Right Pulmonary Artery (RPA): Carries deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the right lung.
- Left Pulmonary Artery (LPA): Carries deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the left lung.
- Pulmonary Arteries (MPAs): the main pulmonary artery that divides into the right and left pulmonary arteries.
- Pulmonary Veins (4): Carry blood from the lungs to the left atrium.
