Document Summary

Ascending aorta superior vena cava pulmonary artery pulmonary vein heart intraventricular sulcus anterior arch of aorta aortic valve atrioventricular valve right. Wosition of heart in the thoracic ca(cid:404)it(cid:411): in the mediastinum and bet(cid:405)een the lungs, and just inferior to the sternum and bet(cid:405)een the rib and the (cid:410)iphoid process. Wulmonar(cid:411) (cid:404)al(cid:404)e: closes off the lo(cid:405)er right chamber (cid:806)or right (cid:404)entricle(cid:807). opens to allo(cid:405) blood to be pumped from the heart to the lungs (cid:806)through the pulmonar(cid:411) arter(cid:411)(cid:807) (cid:405)here it (cid:405)ill recei(cid:404)e o(cid:410)(cid:411)gen. Right atrio(cid:404)entricular (cid:404)al(cid:404)e/ left atrio(cid:404)entricular (cid:404)al(cid:404)e: pre(cid:404)ents backflo(cid:405) of blood bet(cid:405)een the right atrium and right (cid:404)entricle. Same for left atrio(cid:404)entricular (cid:404)al(cid:404)e but for the left atrium and left (cid:404)entricle. Atrium: acts as a holding chamber for blood and acts also as a pump to transport blood as (cid:405)ell. Recei(cid:404)ing blood and pushing it to the (cid:404)entricles. Ventricles: the (cid:404)entricles are the "pumping" chambers.
