The Hart

 

STRUCTURE	FUNCTION	DEOXY/OXY BLOOD
LEFT ATRIUM	Pumps blood into the left ventricle	receives oxygenated blood
LEFT VENTRICLE	pumps / releases  blood into into the whole body ( into tissues)	oxygenated blood
RIGHT ATRIUM	pumps blood into the right ventricle	dexygenated blood
RIGHT VENTRICLE	pumps  blood to pulmonary valve and then pulmonary artery and then lungs.	de-oxygenated blood
PULMONARY ARTERY	Pumps de-oxygenated blood from right ventricle to the lungs	de- oxygenated
AORTA	used as a chamber to pump blood to the aortic valve	oxygenated
PULMONARY VEINS	carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart.	oxygenated
SUPERIOR VENA CAVA	brings deoigenated blood from the upper part of the body to the hear t	d-eoxygenated
INFERIOR VENA CAVA	brings deoxognated blood from the lower part of the body and brings it to the right atrium	de-oxygenated
ATRIOVENTRICULAR VALVES (Mitral & Tricuspid)	separates the atria ventricles , allows blood to flow from the atria to the ventricles and prevents flow in the opposite direction	Both
CHORDAE TENDINAE	protects the walls of the ventricles  ( fiber strings)	both
SEMI LUNAR VALVES (Pulmonary & Aortic)	control the blood from moving back into the ventricle	both
SEPTUM	sepetates the left atrium and ventrivle mixing with the rest.	N/A

The Coronary Arteries

The aorta is the largest artery. Its purpose is serve as  the main supplier of oxygenated blood.  It breaks into two small branches the right coronary artery and the left  , they are used so for the heart muscle. ( the heart needs blood too!) The right coronary artery supplies blood mainly to the right side of the heart and is usually smaller because the blood pumps only to the lungs.( a much smaller trip)

heart, following that the The left coronary artery supplies blood to the left side of the heart. The left side of the heart is larger and more muscular because it pumps blood to the rest of the body. ( it takes alot more effort.
