• right ventricle

One of the body's largest blood vessels that transports blood from the body region below the diaphragm to the heart

• superior vena cava

• inferior vena cava

• pulmonary trunk

• pulmonary veins

When this chamber contracts, it pushes blood through the tricuspid valve

• right atria

• right ventricle

• left atria

• left ventricle

When blood leaves this chamber of the heart, it heads to the lungs

• right atrium

• right ventricle

• left atrium

• left ventricle

This stops blood from flowing back into the ventricles each time they contract

• semilunar valves

• tricuspid and bicuspid valves

• Sinoatrial node (SA node)

• Aorta
