2. Anatomy of the human heart - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomy_of_the_human_heart

   The heart is a muscular organ situated in the mediastinum.It consists of four chambers, four valves, two main arteries (the coronary arteries), and the conduction system. The left and right sides of the heart have different functions: the right side receives de-oxygenated blood through the superior and inferior venae cavae and pumps blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery, and the left ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart

   The heart is a muscular organ found in humans and other animals. This organ pumps blood through the blood vessels. [1] Heart and blood vessels together make the circulatory system. [2] The pumped blood carries oxygen and nutrients to the tissue, while carrying metabolic waste such as carbon dioxide to the lungs. [3]

4. Cardiac physiology - Wikipedia

   The resting heart rate of a newborn can be 120 beats per minute (bpm) and this gradually decreases until maturity and then gradually increases again with age. The adult resting heart rate ranges from 60 to 100 bpm. Exercise and fitness levels, age and basal metabolic rate can all affect the heart rate. An athlete's heart rate can be lower than ...

5. Valve of coronary sinus - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_of_coronary_sinus

   In the anatomy of the heart, the valve of the coronary sinus (also called the Thebesian valve, after Adam Christian Thebesius [1] [2] [3]) is a valve located at the orifice of the coronary sinus where the coronary sinus drains into the right atrium. [4] It prevents blood from flowing backwards into the coronary sinus during contraction of the ...

7. Cardiac skeleton - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_skeleton

   The heart's cardiac skeleton comprises four dense connective tissue rings that encircle the mitral and tricuspid atrioventricular (AV) canals and extend to the origins of the pulmonary trunk and aorta. This provides crucial support and structure to the heart while also serving to electrically isolate the atria from the ventricles. [1]

9. Papillary muscle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papillary_muscle

   The papillary muscles are muscles located in the ventricles of the heart. They attach to the cusps of the atrioventricular valves (also known as the mitral and tricuspid valves) via the chordae tendineae and contract to prevent inversion or prolapse of these valves on systole (or ventricular contraction).
