There are two vessels Superior vena cava and Inferior vena cava. This is for your pulmonary circuit.
*The coronary sinus drains deoxygenated blood from the myocardium, from there it empties into the right atrium. The anterior cardiac veins drain the right and left ventricles and open directly into the right atrium. There are four blood vessels that empty into the right atrium:
1-inferior vena cava
2-superior vena cava
3-coronary sinus
4-anterior cardiac veins
(Principles of Anatomy, 13th edition, Tortora)
Blood received in the right atrium is pumped out of the heart by the right ventricle. This is the half which sends deoxygenated blood to the lungs to be oxygenated again. The left half of the heart receives oxygenated blood from the lungs and then pumps it around the body.
Since the blood entering the right atrium is therefore 'used blood' it must have come from the body, and this large vein is called the Vena Cava. Blood from the upper body enters via the Anterior or Superior Vena Cava, while blood from the lower half of the body enters via the Posterior or Inferior Vena Cava.
The Coronary sinus located on the posterior surface of the heart empties oxygen poor blood into the right atrium
The Vena Cava, the main vein which carries deoxygenated blood to the haert from the systemic circulation
Superior Vena Cava
The superior and inferior vena cava.

i think its ventricles
Each side of the heart has two compartments or chambers. The top one, called an atrium, collects blood from the veins that are connected to it. Veins are the major blood vessels that deliver blood to the heart. The bottom chamber is larger and is called a ventricle. Ventricles use the squeezing action of powerful muscles to pump blood out of the ventricles and into the arteries connected above them. Arteries are the major blood vessels that take blood away form the heart.The ventricles are more muscular than the atria.The ventricles are larger than the atria.The ventricles have thinner muscle tissue.The ventricles are rougher to the touch than the atria.The ventricles are below the atria.The ventricles pump blood to the body; the atria pump blood to the ventricles.The ventricular walls are thicker than the atrial walls.
Blood vessels that bring blood towards the heart are called veins. The veins that are directly connected to the heart are the superior and inferior vena cavae and the pulmonary veins.
Organs in the body are not directly connected to the heart. The heart pumps the blood through the circulatory system. The blood goes from the heart, to the arteries, to the capillaries, to the veins and back to the heart. These arteries, capillaries and veins run all through out the body to every organ to supply the body with blood. Even thought the heart is not directly connected to the organs its connected to every organ via arteries and veins.
The heart chambers are called atria and ventricles. Arteries and veins are blood vessels.
The heart chambers are not called arteries and veins. Heart chambers are atria and ventricles.
The ventricles contract and force the blood under pressure, past the semi lunar valves into the arteries. The closing of the bicuspid and tricuspid valves prevents back flow. At the same time the atria and ventricles relax and blood begins to flow back into them from the veins.
No, they are called atria and ventricles...you have two of each
An arteriovenous malformation is a congenital disorder in which arteries are connected directly to veins rather than through capillaries which distribute oxygen and nutrients.
