Borders of the Heart
Right, Left, Inferior, and Superior
The Right Border of the Heart
Formed primarily by the right atrium, which extends between the superior and inferior Vena Cava
The Left Border of the Heart
Is predominantly formed by the left ventricle, ad a minority of the left atrium
The inferior border of the heart
Created mainly by the right ventricle, though the left ventricle is also part of it slighlty
Superior Border of the Heart
Is formed by the right and left atria, including the auricles, and is marked by the emergence of the superior vena cava and pulmonary trunk
