Document Summary

Pulmonary and systemic circuits: right side receives oxygen-poor blood from tissues, pumps blood to lungs to get rid of co2, pick up o2, via pulmonary circuit. Left side receives oxygenated blood from lungs: pumps blood to body tissues via systemic circuit. Receiving chambers of heart: right atrium receives blood returning from systemic circuit. Left atrium receives blood returning from pulmonary circuit. Pumping chambers of heart: right ventricle pumps blood through pulmonary circuit. Left ventricle pumps blood through systemic circuit. Bicuspid because only two chordae tendinea attached to the papillary muscles. Tricuspid because only three chordae tendinea attached to the papillary muscles. Aortic semi-lunar value between the left ventricle and the base of the aorta: highly problematic valve, opens due to high pressure. Location of the heart: mediastinum between second rib and fifth intercostal space. Pericardium: double-walled sac that surrounds heart; made up of two layers.
