Cardiac Valves Overview
Introduction The heart is a highly organized pump that relies on unidirectional blood flow to maintain efficient circulation. This directionality is enforced by the cardiac valves, which open and close in response to pressure gradients during the cardiac cycle. Broadly, these valves are divided into two categories: atrioventricular (AV) valves and semilunar valves. The AV…

Left Ventricle Anatomy, Structure & Function
1. Introduction The left ventricle (LV) is the thickest-walled chamber of the heart, responsible for pumping oxygenated blood into the systemic circulation via the aorta. Its anatomical design supports high-pressure output and efficient ejection of blood. Understanding LV anatomy is crucial for interpreting cardiac imaging, evaluating function, and managing cardiovascular diseases such as heart failure,…

Right Ventricle Anatomy Shape
Introduction The right ventricle (RV) is more than “the weaker cousin” of the left ventricle. Its form and internal architecture are uniquely adapted for handling venous return and delivering blood to the low-resistance pulmonary circulation. Three anatomical features — the overall shape of the chamber, the trabeculae carneae, and the moderator band (septomarginal trabecula) —…

Left Atrium Anatomy
The left atrium (LA) is one of the four chambers of the human heart and plays a crucial role in cardiac physiology. Its primary function is to receive oxygenated blood from the pulmonary veins and deliver it to the left ventricle, which then pumps the blood to the systemic circulation. Understanding the anatomy of the…

Right Atrium
Introduction The right atrium (RA) is one of the four cardiac chambers and plays a crucial role in collecting systemic venous blood and channeling it into the right ventricle. It is often underestimated in its importance, yet its structural integrity, conduction system elements, and hemodynamic function are essential for maintaining normal cardiac output and rhythm.…

Layers of the Heart Wall
The human heart is one of the most fascinating and crucial organs in the body, tirelessly pumping blood day and night to sustain life. While most people think of the heart as a single muscle, it is actually a highly organized, layered structure designed for maximum efficiency, protection, and durability. Understanding the layers of the…

Location of the Heart
Introduction The heart is one of the most vital organs in the human body, often referred to as the engine that keeps life running. Without it, our blood would not circulate, oxygen would not reach the tissues, and waste products would not be removed. Most of us grow up learning that the heart is located…

Introduction to Cardiac Anatomy
Why Study the Heart The human heart is a small but incredibly powerful organ that is absolutely essential for life. It is a muscular pump that works tirelessly 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, without taking a break. Every minute it circulates oxygenated blood throughout the entire body and returns deoxygenated blood back…
