2. Ventricle-

of the heart

PULMONARY
VEINS
The pulmonary vei
ns are the veins tha
t transfer oxygenat
ed blood from the l
ungs to the heart.
 11

LEFT
ATRIUM
- Receives
blood from the
lungs through
the pulmonary
vein.
 12

MITRAL
VALVE
-the valve
located
between the left
atrium and the
left ventricle.
 13

LEFT
VENTRICLE
-pumps
oxygenated
blood to the
aorta.
 14

AORTIC
VALVE
-valve between
left ventricle
and aorta.
 15

AORTA
-largest artery of
the body.
-distributes
oxygenated
blood throughout
the body.
 16

SUPERIOR
VENA CAVA
-brings
deoxygenated
blood from the
upper part of the
body to the right
atrium.
 17

INFERIOR
VENA CAVA
-brings
deoxygenated
blood from the
lower part of the
body to the right
atrium.
 18

RIGHT
ATRIUM
-receives
deoxygenated
blood from the
superior and
inferior vena
cava.
 19

TRICUSPID
VALVE
-valve between
right atrium
and right
ventricle.
 20

RIGHT
VENTRICLE
-pumps
deoxygenated
blood back to
the pulmonary
artery.
 21

PULMONARY
VALVE
-valve between
right ventricle
and pulmonary
artery.
 22

PULMONARY
ARTERY
-carries
deoxygenated
blood back to
