Heart

Cards (14)

  • The superior vena cava (SVC) brings deoxygenated blood from the upper part of the body to the right atrium.
  • The pulmonary trunk is located between the left and right ventricles.
  • The coronary arteries supply blood to the heart muscle itself.
  • The pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood from the lungs back into the heart.
  • The pulmonary trunk carries oxygen-poor blood away from the heart to the lungs, where it picks up oxygen and releases carbon dioxide.
  • The bicuspid valve separates the left atrium from the left ventricle.
  • The aortic semilunar valve separates the left ventricle from the aorta.
  • The superior vena cava brings deoxygenated blood from the upper body to the right atrium.
  • The inferior vena cava brings deoxygenated blood from the lower body to the right atrium.
  • The pulmonary semilunar valve separates the right ventricle from the pulmonary trunk.
  • The coronary veins drain blood from the myocardium back into the right atrium.
  • The coronary arteries supply blood to the myocardium (heart muscle).
  • Blood flows through the pulmonary semilunar valve between the right ventricle and the pulmonary trunk.
  • Blood flows through the mitral (bicuspid) valve between the left atrium and the left ventricle.
