ANATOMY of the HEART 🫀 The anatomy of the heart is key foundational information to know in order to fully understand the diseases you will be seeing in your patients as nurses- let’s go over it! ATRIUMS ☞Top chambers ☞Blood RECEIVERS VENTRICLES ☞Bottom chambers ☞Blood PUMPERS VALVES ☞Act like one way doors for blood to pass through ☞ AV valves- prevent backflow from ventricles to atriums ☞ Semilunar valves- prevent backflow from arteries to ventricles Save this for later and share with your nur

The Left Atrium is a vital heart chamber that receives oxygen-rich blood from the lungs and sends it to the left ventricle for circulation throughout the body. With thin walls, smooth structure, and precise coordination with the mitral valve, it ensures efficient blood flow. Its role in electrical conduction and the atrial kick makes it essential for maintaining strong and rhythmic heart function. Understanding the left atrium also helps highlight conditions like Atrial Fibrillation, Left Atrial
