You're on a roll — here are the labels for the diagram and the functions of blood flow through the heart. Labels for the Heart Structures: 1. Right Ventricle 2. Left Ventricle 3. Right Atrium 5. Opening of Inferior Vena Cava 6. Inferior Vena Cava 7. Superior Vena Cava 8. Pulmonary Artery (main trunk) 9. Aorta (aortic arch) 10. Left Pulmonary Artery 11. Left Atrium 12. Left Superior Pulmonary Vein 13. Right Pulmonary Artery 14. Right Superior Pulmonary Vein 15. Left Inferior Pulmonary Vein 16. Brachiocephalic Artery 17. Left Common Carotid Artery 18. Left Subclavian Artery 19. Ligamentum Arteriosum 20. Tricuspid Valve 21. Mitral Valve (Bicuspid Valve) 22. Left Atrium 23. Chordae Tendineae / Papillary Muscles 24. Opening of Inferior Vena Cava Functions of Blood Flow (as there are no arrows on this specific diagram): 1. Deoxygenated blood from the body enters the Right Atrium (via the Superior and Inferior Vena Cava). 2. It then passes through the Tricuspid Valve into the Right Ventricle. 3. The Right Ventricle pumps this deoxygenated blood into the Pulmonary Artery, which carries it to the lungs to pick up oxygen. 4. Oxygenated blood returns from the lungs via the Pulmonary Veins to the Left Atrium. 5. It then passes through the Mitral Valve into the Left Ventricle. 6. The Left Ventricle pumps this oxygenated blood into the Aorta, which distributes it to the rest of the body. What's next?
