Learn the external and internal anatomy of the heart.

Endocardium
ID: 3
Epicardium
ID: 4
Pericardial Sac
ID: 1
Left Ventricle
ID: 2
Interventricular Septum
ID: 3
Right Ventricle
Describe: 1
Deoxigenated blood enters right atrium from superior and inferior venae cavae.
Describe: 2
Blood in right atrium flows through right AV (Tricuspid) valve into right ventricle.
Describe: 3
Contraction of right ventricle forces pulmonary valve open
Describe: 4
Blood flows through the pulmonary valve into pulmonary trunk.
Describe: 5
Blood is distributed by right and left pulmonary arteries to lungs, where it unloads CO2 and loads O2.
Describe: 6
Oxygenated blood returns from lungs via pulmonary veins to left atrium.
Describe: 7
Blood in left atrium flows through left AV (bicuspid) valve into left ventricle.
Describe: 8
Contraction of left ventricle forces aortic valve open.
Describe: 9
Blood flows through the aortic valve into ascending aorta.
Describe: 10
Blood in aorta is distributed to every organ in the body, where it unloads O2 and loads CO2.
Describe: 11
Deoxygenated blood returns to right atrium via venae cave.
Give a simple 6 step description of blood flow.
- Blood enters the right atrium through vena cavae.
- Blood travels through tricuspid valve into right ventricle.
- Blood travels through pulmonary valve out to the lungs via the pulmonary arteries.
- Blood returns through pulmonary veins to left atrium.
- Blood passes through bicuspid valve to the left ventricle.
- Blood passes through the aortic valve to the aorta.
The two heart valves that are not connecting atria to ventricles are called the…
