ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The left ventricle (LV) pumps the oxygen-rich blood through the aortic valve (AoV) into the aorta (Ao), the main artery that takes oxygen-rich blood out to the rest of the body.

Detailed explanation-2: -The right side of your heart receives oxygen-poor blood from your veins and pumps it to your lungs, where it picks up oxygen and gets rid of carbon dioxide. The left side of your heart receives oxygen-rich blood from your lungs and pumps it through your arteries to the rest of your body.

Detailed explanation-3: -The heart pumps deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs and at the same time pumps oxygenated blood from the left ventricle into the aorta.

Detailed explanation-4: -Your pulmonary veins are the only veins in your body that carry oxygen-rich blood. All your other veins carry oxygen-poor blood. Similarly, your pulmonary arteries are the only arteries that carry oxygen-poor blood. All the rest of your arteries carry oxygen-rich blood.

Detailed explanation-5: -The left auricle is a thin pouch of the heart wall located on the anterior surface of the left atrium. Its walls are only about one sixteenth of an inch (1 mm) in thickness and less than 1 inch (2.5 cm) in length.
