1.

Superior vena cava - The superior vena cava and inferior vena cava have the
important function of carrying oxygen-poor blood to your heart's right atrium, where it
moves into your right ventricle and then to your lungs (through your pulmonary
artery) to trade in carbon dioxide for oxygen.
2. Aorta - The aorta is the main artery that carries blood away from your heart to the
rest of your body. The blood leaves the heart through the aortic valve. Then it travels
through the aorta, making a cane-shaped curve that allows other major arteries to
deliver oxygen-rich blood to the brain, muscles and other cells.

3. Pulmonary arteries - The pulmonary arteries carry oxygen-poor blood from your
heart to your lungs. The right pulmonary artery supplies the right lung, while the left
pulmonary artery supplies the left lung.

4. Pulmonary veins - The pulmonary veins collect oxygen-rich blood from your
lungs and carry it to your heart. The left superior pulmonary vein drains the left upper
lobe and the lingula. The left inferior pulmonary vein drains the left lower lobe. The
right superior pulmonary vein drains the right upper and middle lobes. The right
inferior pulmonary vein drains the right lower lobe.

5. Pulmonary Valve - The pulmonary valve allows blood to be pumped from the
right ventricle to the lungs (through the pulmonary artery), where it will receive
oxygen. Prevents the backflow of blood from the pulmonary artery to the right
ventricle.

6. Atriums - The heart has four chambers: two atria and two ventricles. The right
atrium receives oxygen-poor blood from the body and pumps it to the right ventricle.
The right ventricle pumps the oxygen-poor blood to the lungs. The left atrium
receives oxygen-rich blood from the lungs and pumps it to the left ventricle.

7. Mitral Valve - The mitral valve is one of four valves in the heart. It regulates blood
flow from the upper left chamber (left atrium) into the lower left chamber (left
ventricle). The left ventricle is the heart's main pumping chamber. A normal mitral
valve has two flaps, or leaflets.

8. Aortic Valve - The aortic valve separates the left ventricle from the aorta. Opens
to allow blood to leave the heart from the left ventricle through the aorta and the
body. Prevents the backflow of blood from the aorta to the left ventricle.

9. Ventricles - The right ventricle pumps the oxygen-poor blood to the lungs. The left
atrium receives oxygen-rich blood from the lungs and pumps it to the left ventricle.
The left ventricle pumps the oxygen-rich blood to the body.

10. Interior vena cava - The inferior vena cava is ultimately responsible for
the transport of almost all venous blood (deoxygenated) from the abdomen and
lower extremities back to the right side of the heart for oxygenation.
