Left Heart and Valves on Left Heart

Patient was educated on left heart and the valves on the left heart as follows: The oxygenated blood from the lungs, through pulmonary veins, will enter the left heart, into the left atrium. This blood in the atrium will be pumped into the left ventricle through a valve (left atrioventricular valve, also called bicuspid valve). As soon as, the blood moves from the left atrium into the left ventricle, the valve between these chambers will [...]

Right Heart and Valves on Right Heart

Patient was educated on the right heart and the valves on right heart as follows: Right heart receives deoxygenated blood from the entire body through two major veins, superior and inferior vena cava, into the right atrium. This deoxygenated blood from the right atrium will be pumped into the right ventricle through a valve (right atrioventricular valve, also called tricuspid valve). As soon as, the blood moves from the right atrium into the right ventricle, [...]

Right and Left Heart

Patient was educated on right and left heart as follows: The human heart is divided into four chambers. It has two chambers on the right and two chambers on the left. The two chambers on the right comprise the right heart and the two chambers on the left comprise the left heart. The right heart has deoxygenated blood and the left heart has oxygenated blood. The superior vena cava is a vein draining deoxygenated blood from [...]

Structure of Heart

Patient was educated on structure of heart as follows: The human heart is divided into four chambers. It has two chambers on the right and two chambers on the left. The two chambers on the right comprise the right heart and the two chambers on the left comprise the left heart. Upper chambers on either side are called atria (right atrium and left atrium). Lower chambers on either side are called ventricles (right ventricle and left [...]
