right atrium |
receives blood from the body that is low in oxygen and high and carbon dioxide |
|
|
left atrium |
oxygen-rich blood from the lungs moves into the left atrium |
|
|
right ventricle |
pumps oxygen rich blood to all parts of the body |
|
|
left ventricle |
pumps oxygen rich blood to all parts of the body |
|
|
right pulmonary vein |
responsible for carrying oxygenated blood from the lungs back to the left atrium of the heart |
|
|
left pulmonary vein |
connects with the left long and lungs filled with the alveoli, oxygen is removed from an inhaled air in this process |
|
|
right pulmonary artery |
moves deoxygenated blood to the lungs, and just larger than the left pulmonary artery |
|
|
left pulmonary artery |
moves deoxygenated blood to the lungs |
|
|
upper aorta |
is curved; connects to your aorta which carries blood from the left ventricle to the body |
|
|
lower aorta |
lower aorta distributes oxygenated blood throughout the body |
|
|
superior vena cava |
carries the deoxygenated blood from the upper half of the body to the heart's right atrium |
|
|
inferior vena cava |
carries the blood near the back of the body to the right atrium |
|
|
septum |
prevents oxygen rich an oxygen poor blood from mixing in the heart |
|
|
bicuspid valve |
The valve in between the left atrium and ventricle, it prevents blood from flowing into the atrium |
|
|
tricuspid valve |
Prevents blood being transferred from the right ventricle to the right atrium. |
|
|
pulmonary semilunar valve |
The valve which allows blood to go into the pulmonary already so it is able to be taken to the lungs |
|
|
aortic semilunar valve |
The valve which allows blood to go into the aorta so it may be transported through the body |
|
|
cross section of artery |
Distributes blood throughout the body |
|
|
cross section of veins |
carries blood back to the heart |
|
|
capillary |
the capillaries join the arteries to the beans, where exchange of blood in the body's cells occur |
