Heat Structures & Functions

STRUCTURE	FUNCTION	DEOXY/OXY BLOOD
LEFT ATRIUM	Receives oxygenated blood from the pulmonary veins and pumps it too the left ventricle.	OXYGENATED
LEFT VENTRICLE	Pumps oxygenated blood through the aortic valve into the aortic arch and to all the tissues.	OXYGENATED
RIGHT ATRIUM	Oxygenated blood enters through the superior and inferior vena cava and pumps into the pulmonary veins and around the lungs.	DE OXYGENATED
RIGHT VENTRICLE	It passes de oxygenated blood up through the pulmonary valve and through the pulmonary artery through the lungs.	DE OXYGENATED
PULMONARY ARTERY	Carries de oxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs.	DE OXYGENATED
AORTA	It is the largest artery in the body; The heart pumps oxygenated from the left ventricle into the aorta.	OXYGENATED
PULMONARY VEINS	Carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart.	OXYGENATED
SUPERIOR VENA CAVA	one of the two main veins bringing  de oxygenated blood from the body to the heart.	DE OXYGENATED
INFERIOR VENA CAVA	The large vein that carries  de oxygenated blood from the lower half of the body into the right atrium of the heart.	DE OXYGENATED
ATRIOVENTRICULAR VALVES (Mitral & Tricuspid)	Mitral: regulates blood flow from the left atrium into the left ventricle. Tricuspid: prevent back flow of blood into the right atrium.	N/A
CHORDAE TENDINAE	cord-like tendons that connect the papillary muscles to the tricuspid valve and the mitral valve in the heart.	N/A
SEMI LUNAR VALVES (Pulmonary & Aortic)	Prevents back flow of blood from the pulmonary trunk into the right ventricle.	N/A
SEPTUM	It separates the left side of the heart from the right side of the heart.	N/A
