• Vena Cava: Brings the blood BACK ↩️ from the body into the heart.
• Pulmonary Artery: Takes blood to the 🫁 lungs to get oxygen!
• Right Atrium: A room where blood coming back from the body waits. 🛌
• Tricuspid Valve: Door 🚪 between the right atrium and right ventricle (CLOSED in the pic).
• Pulmonary Valve: Door 🚪 from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery (OPEN in the pic).
• Left Atrium: Where the blood coming from the lungs chilled!🏖️
• Aortic Valve: door 🚪 from the left ventricle to the aorta (OPEN in the pic).
• Right Ventricle: Pumps the blood to the 🫁 lungs. 💪
• Left Ventricle: The BIG 💪💪 pump that sends blood EVERYWHERE! 🌎
• Mitral Valve: Door 🚪 between the left atrium and left ventricle (CLOSED in the pic).
• Septum: Wall 🧱 dividing the left and right sides of the heart!
Hope that helps! 👍😄
