Anatomy Tutorial: Internal Anatomy of the Heart
|dw:1541460211496:dw| note: I will be focusing on the location, rather than the functions, of these structures, for memorization purposes

then we'll label the pulmonary arteries and the pulmonary veins (notice that the pulmonary arteries are above the veins on either side) |dw:1541460344903:dw|
it's not clear on this diagram, but two circular structures in the right atrium are the fossa ovalis and the opening of the coronary sinus. around the right atrium are the pectinate muscles |dw:1541460473239:dw|
between the atria is the interatrial septum, and protecting the entry to the aorta is the aortic valve |dw:1541460614203:dw|
|dw:1541460668006:dw| similarly, the entry to the pulmonary artery is controlled by the pulmonary valve
|dw:1541460889498:dw| the main chamber leading up the left pulmonary artery is the conus arteriosus the cusp of the right AV and left AV valves also get their own label the stringy parts are the chordae tendinae
attached to the chordae tendinae are the papillary muscles and below them are the trabeculae carnaea near the apex |dw:1541461163845:dw|of the heart is the moderator band
