Aorta, Superior and Inferior Vena Cava, 4 pulmonary veins and the pulmonary artery
The Base
The mediastinum contains the heart, great vessels, and distal trachea.
When someon has trasposition of the great vessels they can expect coronary heart disease, heart valve problems, and arrhythmias (too fast, too slow, or irregular heart beat)
thoracic cavity :)
precordium
They enter and leave on the or at the superior border.
The heart is the main "container", along with the great vessels, such as the aorta and the vena cava as well as many of the other larger arteries and veins.
A pig's heart is shaped quite similar to a human's heart: a rough conical shape with the great vessels coming out of the base.
The wide superior part of the heart is known as the base. It is located at the top of the heart and is where the major blood vessels enter and exit. The base connects to the great vessels such as the aorta, pulmonary arteries, and pulmonary veins.
The pericardium is part of the human heart. It is a double walled sac that actually holds the heart and roots of the great vessels.
The blood vessels and the heart are part of the cardiovascular system.
The thickest walled vessels are arteries, as they have to endure a more forceful power, as the heart, pumps the blood with great force around the body.
