Structure
Rt. Atrium
Tricuspid Valve
Rt. Ventricle
Septum
Pulmonary Artery
Description
Small hallow chamber
Flaps of tissue
Large hallow chamber
Location
Upper right region of
the heart
Between the RT Atrium
and RT Ventricle
Lower RT region of the
heart
Thick muscular wall
In the center of the
heart
Blood vessel
Runs from RT Ventricle
to the lungs
On either side of the
heart/chest cavity
Lungs
Hallow organs
Pulmonary Vein
Blood Vessel
Runs from lungs to Left
Atrium
Small hallow chamber
Upper left region of the
heart
Between the Lt. Atrium
and Lt. Ventricle
Lower Left region of the
heart
Left Atrium
Bicuspid Valve
Left Ventricle
Sup/Inf Vena Cava
Flaps of tissue
Large hallow chamber
Large veins in the body
On the upper and lower
aspects of the heart
Function
Receives D.O.Blood from the
VENA CAVA
Opens to allow blood to flow from
RA  RV
Receives blood from the RA and
sends it out to the lungs via the
Pulmonary Artery
Separates the right and left sides
of the heart. Allows heart to be 2
pumps.
Allows DOB to be sent to the lungs
for oxygen.
Allows for CO2 and O2 to be
exchanged through the walls of the
capillaries.
Allows O2-rich blood to travel
from the lungs back to the LA of
the heart
Receives O2 rich blood from the
Lungs via the pulmonary vein
Opens to allow blood to flow from
LA LV
Receives blood from the LA and
sends it out to the rest of the body
via the aorta
Allows blood to flow back to the
heart from the UE and LE.

Bone marrow and blood
Helps blood to clot
Yellow-ish liquid/ river
for blood cells
Red, flowing tissue
Blood
Transports matter to and from
cells/highway for messages
Carried o2/nutrients/waste to &
from cells; maintains homeostasis
Blood vessels for
HEART ONLY
Blood vessels with thick
muscular walls
On/in the heart
Blood Vessels with
thinner walls and oneway valves to prevent
back-flow
Tinniest blood vessels
with thin, permeable
walls
All over the body
Blood vessels
All over the body
At the cellular level;
microscopic
Receives blood from the LV and
sends it out to the body for
nourishment
Transport O2 through-out the
body’s cells
Carries O2 and nutrient-rich blood
to the HEART ONLY
Carries blood away from the heart
under high pressure and out to the
body *PULMONARY ARTERY
Takes CO2 and waste products
back to the heart/lungs and the
body for disposal *PULMONARY
VEIN5
Allows O2 and CO2 to pass
through its walls to bring food to
and take waste away from cells.
