ANATOMY of the HEART 🫀 The anatomy of the heart is key foundational information to know in order to fully understand the diseases you will be seeing in your patients as nurses- let’s go over it! ATRIUMS ☞Top chambers ☞Blood RECEIVERS VENTRICLES ☞Bottom chambers ☞Blood PUMPERS VALVES ☞Act like one way doors for blood to pass through ☞ AV valves- prevent backflow from ventricles to atriums ☞ Semilunar valves- prevent backflow from arteries to ventricles Save this for later and share with your nur

Right Atrium: The Gateway of Deoxygenated Blood Flow! A small chamber with big responsibilities — from receiving venous blood to initiating the heartbeat through the SA node.” #RightAtrium #HumanHeart #CardiacAnatomy #PhysiologyNotes #MedicalInfographic #StudyWithMe #fblifestyle | InfoPic Notes

The left side of the heart powers the entire body. In this 3D animation, we explore the interior of the left atrium and left ventricle — revealing the structures that pump oxygenated blood into systemic circulation: 🔸 The left atrium, which receives blood from the lungs 🔸 The mitral valve, a two-leaflet structure guiding flow 🔸 The left ventricle, with thick muscular walls 🔸 The aortic valve, leading to the aorta This chamber does the heavy lifting — pumping oxygen-rich blood at high pressur
