Aorta

-The body's largest artery.

-Takes oxygenated blood from the left ventricle to the body.

Superior Vena Cava

-The superior vena cava is one of the veins bringing deoxygenated blood from the body to the
heart.Veins the head and upper body feed into the superior vena cava which empties into the the right
atrium of the heart.

Interior Vena Cava

-The inferior vena cava is a large vein that carries deoxygenated blood from the lower body to the heart.

Pulmonary Artery

-carries deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs.

Pulmonary Vein

-Takes oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium.

Left Atrium

-oxygen rich blood from the lungs enters the left atrium through the pulmonary vein.

Right Atrium

-receives deoxygenated blood from the body

Left Ventricle

-oxygenated blood from the left atrium via the mitral valve and pumps it through the aorta.

Right Ventricle

-chambers within the heart that is responsible for the pumping oxygenated blood to the lungs.

Tricuspid valve

-the function of the Triscupid valve or write an preventricular valve is to prevent backflow of blood into
the right atrium.

Bicuspid valve

-the bicuspid valve or mitral valve permits blood to flow one way only from the left atrium to the left
ventricle.
Pulmonary valve

-this valve is opened by the increase blood pressure of the ventricular systole (contraction the muscular
tissue) pushing blood out of the heart and into the artery it close when the pressure drops inside the
heart.

Aortic valve

-the aortic valve function to prevent the regurgitation of blood from the aorta into the left ventricle
during ventricular diastolel and to allow the appropriate appropriate flow of the blood- the cardiac
output -from the left ventricle into the aorta during ventricle size tool
