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

What is the difference between an atrium and a ventricle?

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.

Why is the heart connected to other organs?

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.


Ventricle force blood directly into what?

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.


What is an Arteriovenous malformation?

An arteriovenous malformation is a congenital disorder in which arteries are connected directly to veins rather than through capillaries which distribute oxygen and nutrients.
