ventricles
thicker than atria

pericardial fluid
the pericardial has what kind of layers
parietal layer superficially
visceral layer deep
the base of the heart is on the
right side

valves of the heart
semilunar valves (pulomary and aortic)
controls flow from ventricles into great arteries (aorta and pulmonary trunk)
valves of the heart
pulmonary valve

valves of the heart
aortic valve
