**Pulmonary veins** - Blood vessels that transfer freshly oxygenated blood from the lungs to the <span class="highlight_font">left atria</span> of the heart.

**Venae cavae** - A large vein that <span class="highlight_font">carries blood</span> to the heart. In anatomy, the venae cavae are two large veins (great vessels) that return deoxygenated blood from the body into the heart

**artery** - The part of your circulatory (cardiovascular) system, are the blood vessels that bring oxygen-rich blood from your heart to all of your body's cells.

**Aorta** - The first and largest artery in the body. It is responsible for transporting nutrient-rich blood to the systemic circulation following ejection from the left ventricle of the heart.


**Pulmonary artery** - The pulmonary arteries function to <span class="highlight_font">transport deoxygenated blood</span> from the right side of the heart to the <span class="highlight_font">lungs</span> for oxygenation

### Valves

**Atrioventricular valves** - The four valves in the mammalian heart are two atrioventricular valves <span class="highlight_font">separating</span> the upper atria from the lower ventricles. They allow blood to flow from the <span class="highlight_font">atria</span> into the <span class="highlight_font">ventricles</span> but prevent it from going in the opposite direction.


**Semilunar valves** - The valves in the entrances to the <span class="highlight_font">aorta</span> and the <span class="highlight_font">pulmonary artery</span>.

### Coronary arteries
