Great Vessels Of The Heart Labeled

The superior vena cava and inferior vena cava are veins that return deoxygenated blood from circulation in the body and empty it into the right atrium. Arterial and venous systemic circulation pulmonary circulation and hepatic portal circulation.

19 1 Heart Anatomy Anatomy And Physiology

The aorta is the largest artery in the body.

Great vessels of the heart labeled. There have been numerous. It carries oxygenated blood pumped by the left side of the heart. This lecture examines the anatomy of the three vessel networks that circulate blood.

We identify and describe the structure of the vessels that form these networks. These are the superior and inferior vena cava which directs oxygen poor blood to the heart the aorta which carries oxygen rich blood from the heart the pulmonary artery and the pulmonary vein. Great vessels are the large vessels that bring blood to and from the heart.

The pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle into the lungs for oxygenation. Transposition of the great vessels is a group of congenital heart defects involving an abnormal spatial arrangement of any of the great vessels. There are 5 great vessels which enter and leave the heart.

The superior and inferior vena cava the pulmonary artery the pulmonary vein and the aorta. Great vessels of the heart aorta. The pulmonary arteries receive deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle and deliver it to the.

The 10 most common entities account for 80 of all cases table 1 74. Historically the conventional chest radiograph has played a significant role in the work up of children with chd. Next we examine the major circulatory routes for the blood.

Five great vessels enter and leave the heart. Congenital heart disease chd has an incidence of approximately 8 per 1000 live births. 10 1055 b 0034 87856 heart and great vessels.
