Cardiovascular System (Major arteries (Aorta: the Amin high pressure…

- - - - Left atrium: Receives blood from the lungs (HIGHLY Oxygenated)
      - Right Atrium: Receives blood from the rest of the body (It is LOW in Oxygen)
    - - Left Ventricle: receives blood from the left atrium and carries highly oxygenated blood and it discharges the blood back to the rest of the body
      - Right Ventricle: Receives blood from the right atrium and it charges the blood to the lungs it carries blood that is low in oxygen.
  - - - Bicuspid (Mitral) valve (located on the left). It is called BIcuspid because it has 2 flaps
        
        It prevent the blood from leaving the left ventricle and going back to the left atrium.
      - Tricuspid valve is located on the right. It is called TRIcuspid because it has 3 flaps
        
        It prevents the blood from the right ventricle from re-entering the right atrium
    - - Pulmonary semilunar valve is found between the right ventricle and the pulmonary trunk blood vessel
        
        Prevent the blood from re-entering the right ventricle from the pulmonary trunk
      - Aortic semilunar valve is found between the left ventricle and aorta
        
        Prevent blood flow from the aorta back into the left ventricle
