- Synopsis
- This is an image of a heart. It is a multi-page image set on two pages: a key and then the diagram page. A locator dot and title are shown on both pages. These must always be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. Key to cross section of the heart (longitudinal section from the front) - This page explains the abbreviations used on the diagram page. The abbreviations are on the left with their explanation to the right. Cross section of the heart (longitudinal section from the front) - This diagram shows a human heart. The heart is divided into four chambers with four vessels connecting it to the rest of the body. Blood enters the heart in the top left of the diagram through the vein called the vena cava from the rest of the body. The right auricle contracts and the blood flows into the right ventricle through the tricuspid valve. The ventricle is a single chamber. Blood flows around the tendons (thick lines) that connect the valve flaps to the papillary muscles. The ventricle contracts and blood is forced up through the semilunar valve into the pulmonary artery and on to the lungs in the top centre left of the diagram. Oxygenated blood returns from the lungs to the heart in the top right of the diagram from the pulmonary vein. The left auricle contracts and the blood flows into the left ventricle through the bicuspid valve. The ventricle is a single chamber like the right ventricle. The ventricle contracts and blood is forced up through the semilunar valve into the aorta and on to the rest of the body in the top centre right of the diagram.
