Heart diagram

Cards (25)

  • A = pulmonary artery
  • B = Vena Cava
  • C = Right Atrium
  • D = Heart Valve
  • E = Tendons attached to valve and heart wall
  • F =Right Ventricle
  • G = Left Ventricle
  • H = Heart Valve
  • J = Pulmonary Vein
  • K = Aorta
  • Blood enters the heart through the atria. Deoxygenated blood enters through the right atrium, oxygenated through the left atrium
  • Blood is pumped into the aorta, which carries oxygenated blood away from the heart around the body.
  • Deoxygenated blood enters the right atrium from the vena cava.
  • Pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs.
  • Pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.
  • 1 = semi-lunar valve 

    Diagram:
  • 2= tricuspid / right atrioventricular valve
    Diagram:
  • 3 = bicuspid / left atrioventricular valve/ mitrial valve 

    Diagram:
  • 4 = semi-lunar valve 

    Diagram:
  • Tricuspid valve function 

    Tricuspid valve separates the right atria from the right ventricle
  • Bicuspid valve function 

    the bicuspid/mitral valve separates the left atria from the left ventricle.
  • Semilunar valve function 

    The semilunar (SL) valves connect the ventricles to the arteries (pulmonary artery and aorta). They prevent the flow of blood back into the heart.
  • 1= non-conducting collagen fibres tissue

  • 2= bundle of His
