Document Summary

4 chambers: right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium, and left ventricle: chambers are separated by interatrial and interventricular septae, valves in the heart, atrioventricular valve between each atrium and ventricle, semilunar valves at the opening of the pulmonary and aorta body of trunk, blood flow through the heart: deoxygenated blood from vena cavae (cid:224) right atrium. Interventricular septum (cid:224) right ventricle (cid:224) pulmonary trunk (cid:224) pulmonary arteries (cid:224) lungs (cid:224) pulmonary veins (cid:224) left atrium (cid:224) left ventricle (cid:224) aorta (cid:224) rest of the body: arteries = anything that carries blood away from the heart; veins = anything that carries blood towards the heart (cid:224) doesn"t have to do with oxygenated/deoxygenated blood, walls of heart consist of cardiac muscle and a fibrous ct skeleton (made of dense irregular ct, functions of the fibrous skeleton: site of cardiac muscle attachment (via dense irregular ct blue part), site of valve attachment, electrically insulates the atria from the ventricles.
