AB
Left AtriumReceives blood from the lungs
Left VentriclePumps blood out of the heart to the body
Right AtriumRecceives blood from systemic circulation
Right VentriclePumps blood out to the lungs
Tricuspid ValveSeperates the right atrium from the right ventricle
Bicuspid ValveSeperates the left atrium from the left ventricle
Pulmonary arteryCarries deoxygenated blood from the left ventricle to the lungs
Pulmonary veinCarries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the right atrium
PericardiumOuter layer of the heart
MyocardiumMuscle layer of the heart
EpicardiumInnermost layer of the heart
AortaLargest artery in the body
SeptumDivides the heart into chambers
Superior vena cavaCarries blood from the top of the body to the heart
Inferior vena cavaCarries blood from the lower part of the body to the heart
Sinoatrial nodeWhere the electrical impulse in the heart originates

MonocytesPhagocytize bacteria and foreign objects
EosinophilsRemove toxins from the body
AneurysmArea of a blood vessel that bulges because of weakness of the wall
AtherosclerosisNarrowing of blood vessels caused by fatty deposits
Cardiac arrthymiaAbnormal electrical impulses in the heart
