HEART
The heart is a muscular organ
that pumps blood.
1.Tricuspid Valve
2.Pulmonary Valve
3.Bicuspid/mitral Valve
4.Aortic Valve
1.Tricuspid valve
It's located between the right lower
heart chamber (right ventricle) and the
right upper heart chamber (right atrium).
The tricuspid valve opens and closes to
ensure that blood flows in the correct
direction. It's also called the right
atrioventricular valve.
2. Pulmonary valve
It's between the lower right heart
chamber (right ventricle) and the artery
that delivers blood to the lungs
(pulmonary artery).
3. Mitral Valve
It keeps your blood moving in the right
direction. A leaky valve doesn't close
the way it should, allowing some blood
to flow backward into the left atrium.
4. Aortic Valve
It connects the left side of your heart
with your aorta. Your aorta is the large
artery that carries oxygen-rich blood to
your body. Your aortic valve controls
blood flow into your aorta and keeps
blood moving in one direction.
BLOOD VESSELS
In order for the blood to
travel in the body, blood
vessels are needed.
These are composed of
different types called
arteries, veins, and
capillaries.
ARTERIES
These are blood vessels that
carry oxygenated blood away
from the heart.
