Transcribed Image Text:### Anatomy of the Human Heart
This detailed diagram illustrates the internal and external structures of the human heart. Each numbered label corresponds to a specific part of the heart, explained below:
1. **Aorta**: The main artery that carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body.
2. **Superior Vena Cava**: The large vein that carries deoxygenated blood from the upper half of the body to the right atrium.
3. **Right Pulmonary Artery**: Carries deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the right lung.
4. **Right Atrium**: Receives deoxygenated blood from the body through the superior and inferior vena cava.
5. **Tricuspid Valve**: Located between the right atrium and right ventricle; prevents backflow of blood.
6. **Right Ventricle**: Pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs via the pulmonary arteries.
7. **Chordae Tendineae**: Tendon-like cords that connect the atrioventricular valves to the heart muscles, preventing them from inverting.
8. **Inferior Vena Cava**: Carries deoxygenated blood from the lower part of the body to the right atrium.
9. **Left Ventricle**: Pumps oxygenated blood to the body through the aorta.
10. **Bicuspid (Mitral) Valve**: Located between the left atrium and left ventricle; prevents backflow of blood.
11. **Left Atrium**: Receives oxygenated blood from the lungs via the pulmonary veins.
12. **Left Pulmonary Artery**: Carries deoxygenated blood to the left lung from the right ventricle.
13. **Pulmonary Veins**: Return oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium.
14. **Aortic Arch**: The curved part of the aorta connecting the ascending and descending aorta.
This diagram is helpful for understanding the flow of blood through the heart and its key anatomical structures, each of which plays a vital role in cardiovascular function.
