PARTS OF THE HUMAN

HEART

Superior vena cava

Superior vena cava is A large vein that receives
blood from the head, neck, upper extremities, and
thorax and delivers it to the right atrium of the
heart.
 Right atrium
Right atrium is the right upper chamber of the
heart. The right atrium receives deoxygenated
blood from the body through the vena cava and
pumps it into the right ventricle.
Tricuspid valve
The tricuspid valve is located between the right
atrium and right ventricle and ensures the flow
of blood from the right atrium into the right
ventricle and prevents the reverse.
Right ventricle
Right ventricle: The lower right chamber of the
heart that receives deoxygenated blood from the
right atrium
PULMUNARY VALVE
Pulmonary valve IS One of the four valves in the
heart, which stands at the opening from the right
ventricle in the pulmonary artery trunk. The
pulmonary valve moves blood toward the lungs
and keeps it from sloshing back from the
pulmonary artery into the heart.
PULMUNARY ARTERY
Pulmonary artery IS One of the two vessels which
are formed as terminal branches of the pulmonary
trunk and convey DEOXYGENATED blood to the
lungs.
PULMUNARY VEIN
Pulmonary vein IS One of four vessels that carry
OXYGENATED blood from the lungs to the left
atrium of the heart.
LEFT ATRIUM
Left atrium IS The upper LEFT chamber of the heart.
The left atrium receives oxygenated blood from
the lungs and pumps it down into the left
ventricle which delivers it to the body.
 BICUSPID VALVE OR MITRAL
Bicuspid valve IS One of the four valves of the
heart, this valve is situated between the left
atrium and the left ventricle. It permits blood to
flow from the left atrium into the left ventricle.
LEFT VENTRICLE
Left ventricle IS The left lower chamber of the
heart that receives blood from the left atrium
and pumps it out under high pressure through the
aorta to the body.
AORTIC VALVE
The aortic valve is a valve in the human heart
between the left ventricle and the aorta.
AORTA
The aorta is the main artery that carries
OXYGENATED blood away from your heart to the
rest of your body.

THE HUMAN HEART

-is an organ that pumps blood
throughout the body via the circulatory
system, supplying oxygen and nutrients to
the tissues and removing carbon dioxide
and other wastes.
-has the same size as a closed fist.
-is a muscular organ in humans and
other animals, which pumps blood through
the blood vessels of the circulatory
system.
