Pulmonary Circuit
|
(deoxygenated) heart to lungs to heart
|
|
Systemic Circuit
|
(oxygenated) heart to body tissues to heart
|
|
Atria
|
Collecting chambers; collect blood returning from lungs/tissues
|
|
Ventricles
|
Muscular chambers pump blood to tissues/lungs
|
|
Parietal Pericardium

|
Visceral Pericardium (Epicardium)
|
Heart tissue and outermost layer of heart
|
|
Myocardium
|
Middle layer of heart; thickest; contains cardiac cells
|
|
Endocardium
|
Innermost layer; inner wall lining of heart chambers
|
|
Right Atrium
|
(3 vessels) collects deoxygenated blood returning from tissues
Superior Vena Cava-large; serves upper body Inferior Vena Cava-large; serves lower body Coronary Sinus-small; nourishes myocardium |
|
Right Ventricle
|
Sends blood to lungs (through pulmonary circuit) through pulmonary trunk; unloads carbon dioxide and oxygen at the lungs
|
|
Left Atrium
|
(4 vessels)
2 right pulmonary veins-right lung to atrium 2 left pulmonary veins-left lung to atrium |
|
Left Ventricle
|
Thickest; most muscular; pressure sends blood throug hthe aorta to all body tissues
|
|
Atrioventricular valves (AV)
|
Between an atria and a ventricle
|
|
Tricuspid Valve
|
Right atria and right ventricle; 3 cusps
