Heart Structure Functions

Aorta: The aorta carries oxygenated blood to different parts of the body. It distributes blood to all the arteries.
Brachiocephalic artery: The brachiocephalic artery carries oxygenated blood away from the heart. It supplies the brain, right arm, and neck with blood.
Common carotid artery: The common carotid artery supplies oxygenated blood to the front of the brain as well as the head, neck, face, and spinal cord.
Subclavian artery: The subclavian artery carries blood away from the heart and supplies oxygenated blood to the arms.
Left pulmonary vein: The left pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood from the left lung to the heart.
Right pulmonary vein: The right pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood from the right lung to the heart.
Left pulmonary artery: The left pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs for it to by oxygenated.
Right pulmonary artery: The right pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs for it to by oxygenated.
Left coronary artery: The left coronary artery supplies blood from the lungs to the heart’s ventricles and left atrium.
Right coronary artery: The right coronary artery supplies blood from the lungs to the heart’s ventricles and right atrium.
Left ventricle: The left ventricle carries oxygenated blood from the left atrium via the mitral valve to the aorta via the aortic valve.
Right ventricle: The right ventricle carries deoxygenated blood from the right atrium via the tricuspid valve to the pulmonary artery through the pulmonary valve and pulmonary trunk.
Left atrium: The left atrium carries oxygenated blood from the pulmonary veins to the left ventricle through the mitral valve.
Right atrium: The right atrium carries deoxygenated blood from the superior and inferior vena cava and the coronary sinus to the right ventricle through the tricuspid valve.
Superior vena cava: The superior vena cava receives deoxygenated blood from the upper half of the body and carries
