 Coverings of the Heart: Physiology

 The pericardium:
 Protects and anchors the heart
 Prevents overfilling of the heart with blood
 Allows for the heart to work in a relatively friction-
free environment

 Pathway of Blood Through the Heart and Lungs

 Right atrium  tricuspid valve  right ventricle

 Right ventricle  pulmonary semilunar valve 
pulmonary arteries  lungs
 Lungs  pulmonary veins  left atrium
 Left atrium  bicuspid valve  left ventricle
 Left ventricle  aortic semilunar valve  aorta
 Aorta  systemic circulation
