Major parts of the heart,
Explanation:
The heart is structured with the four chambers, valves, and vessels.
Chambers
:
Right atrium – receives the deoxygenated blood from various parts of the body
Right ventricle – receives the deoxygenated blood from the right atrium and pumps it to the lungs via the pulmonary artery
Left atrium – receives the oxygenated blood from the lungs through pulmonary veins
Left ventricle – receives the oxygenated blood from the left atrium and pumps it to all parts of the body via the aorta
Major blood vessels:
Aorta: Carries pure oxygenated blood from the left ventricle and transports to all parts of the body
Superior vena cava and inferior vena cava: collects deoxygenated blood from the superior and inferior parts of the body respectively and pours it into the right atrium
Pulmonary artery: carries impure deoxygenated blood from right ventricle to the lungs for oxygenation
Pulmonary vein: carries pure oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium
Valves: controls back flow of blood
The bicuspid valve is present between the left atrium and left ventricle
Tricuspid valve or mitral valve: present between right atrium and right ventricle
Pulmonary valve: present at the pulmonary artery
Aortic valve: present at the aorta
