### Internal View of the Heart: Structure Identification This image provides an internal view of the heart. Below is a breakdown of the marked structures: - **A**: Points to the left ventricle. This chamber is responsible for pumping oxygenated blood to the body. - **B**: Right ventricle. It pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs for oxygenation. - **C**: Interventricular septum. This is the wall separating the left and right ventricles. - **D**: Pulmonary vein openings. These openings allow oxygenated blood from the lungs to enter the left atrium. - **E**: Left atrium. This chamber receives oxygenated blood from the pulmonary veins. - **F**: Aorta. The largest artery in the body, it distributes oxygen-rich blood from the left ventricle to the rest of the body. - **G**: Right atrium. This chamber collects deoxygenated blood from the body through the superior and inferior vena cava. - **H**: Tricuspid valve. Situated between the right atrium and right ventricle, it prevents backflow during ventricular contraction. This comprehensive view aids in understanding the flow of blood through the heart and the distinct roles of its anatomical structures.

**Transcription for Educational Website** This diagram illustrates the components of the human heart and its related structures: - **B** corresponds to the **left ventricle**. - **A** corresponds to the **right ventricle**. - **G** corresponds to the **right atrioventricular valve (tricuspid)**. - **F** corresponds to the **right atrium**. - **E** corresponds to the **aortic semilunar valve**. - **C** corresponds to the **left atrium**. - **H** corresponds to the **left atrioventricular valve (mitral or bicuspid)**. - **D** corresponds to the **chordae tendineae**. Each of these components plays an essential role in the function of the heart, ensuring the proper circulation of blood throughout the body.
