5711109707heart locationmediastenum 2/3 of the heart is on the left of the midline1
5711125050Stronger pumpleft side bottom Left2
5711130084Tricuspid valve isthree cusps3
5711138021Bicuspid valve istwo cusps4
57111483603 areas that dump blood into the atrium:coronary sinus, superior vena cava, inferior vena cava5
5711164204Pulmonary isthe only place in the body that carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium6
5711180974Right side of heart consists (Lungs)right atrium, right ventricle takes low content of oxygen blood from the body and into the lungs for oxygenation7
5711226043Left side of the heart consists (Body)left atrium, left ventricle take high content of oxygen blood from the lungs and into the rest of the body8
5711257939Top part of the heart consistsatrial kick weaker pump9
5711263453Bottom part of the heart consistspulmonary and systematic circuits stronger pump10
5711278947Blood pH7.3511
5711293442Atrial fibrillationno atrial kick hypertension, rapid firing through pulmonary veins, clot formation in the atrium12
5711315753AV (atrioventricular valves)allow blood to flow from atria to ventricles13
5711326539SA (semilunar valves)allow blood to flow from the ventricles into the outflow vessels14
5711383132chordea tendineaeand contract to prevent inversion or prolapse of these valves on systole (or ventricular contraction) attached to papillary muscle15
5711576662papillary muscleprevents valves from trauma, slowly closing them instead of slamming them16
5711591570each cusp makes up1/3 of the valves17
5712325653arteriescarry oxygenated blood, thick because they are under a lot pressure and exposed to high pressures and friction forces18
5712325654veinscarry deoxygenated blood, thin because they are exposed to low pressure and minimal friction forces19
