Brachiocephalic trunk - also brachiocephalic artery or innominate artery, latin: truncus

brachiocephalicus) is the first and largest branch of the aortic arch that supplies the head, neck
and the right arm.

Superior Vena Cava- it largely contributes to the input of blood to the right atrium.

Right Pulmonary Artery- arteries then deliver oxygen-depleted blood to each corresponding
lung. This is one of the rare arteries that carry deoxygenated blood.

Ascending aorta- The coronary arteries branch off the ascending aorta to supply the heart
with blood. The aortic arch curves over the heart, giving rise to branches that bring blood to the
head, neck, and arms.
Pulmonary Trunk- is a major vessel of the human heart that originates from the right ventricle.
It branches into the right and left pulmonary arteries, which lead to the lungs.

Right pulmonary veins -There are two right pulmonary veins, known as the right superior and
right inferior veins. These carry blood from the right lungs.

Right atrium- receives deoxygenated blood from the body through the vena cava and pumps it
into the right ventricle which then sends it to the lungs to be oxygenated.

Right coronary artery- specifically provides blood to the right atrium, heart ventricles, and the
cells in the right atrial wall, which are called the sinoatrial node.

Anterior cardiac veins (or anterior veins of right ventricle) comprise a variable number of small
vessels, usually between two and five, which collect blood from the front of the right ventricle
and open into the right atrium;

Right Ventricle- The lower right chamber of the heart that receives deoxygenated blood from
the right atrium and pumps it under low pressure into the lungs via the pulmonary artery.

Right Marginal Artery- provides blood supply to the lateral portion of the right ventricle. The
posterior descending artery branch supplies blood to the inferior aspect of the heart. The LMCA
supplies blood to the left side of the heart.

Small cardiac vein- It may receive one or several of the anterior cardiac veins but these usually
drain the anterior surface of the right ventricle directly into the right atrium.

Inferior Vena Cava - a large vein that carries de-oxygenated blood from the lower body to the
heart.

Left common carotid- The carotid arteries are major blood vessels in the neck that supply blood to
the brain, neck, and face.

Left subclavian artery- supplies blood to the left arm.

Aortic arch is the portion of the main artery that bends between the ascending and descending
aorta. It leaves the heart and ascends, then descends back to create the arch.

ligamentum - holds the aorta and pulmonary artery close to each other.

Left pulmonary artery is responsible for transporting oxygen-depleted blood away from the
heart and back toward the lungs.

Left pulmonary veins- connect with the left lung, and the lungs themselves are filled with
hollow air sacs called alveoli.

Left atrium- holding chamber for blood returning from the lungs and to act as a pump to
transport blood to other areas of the heart.

Circumflex Artery- supplies blood to the outer side and back of the heart.
Left coronary artery- divides into the left anterior descending artery and the circumflex branch,
supplies blood to the heart ventricles and left atrium.

Left ventricle- responsible for pumping oxygenated blood to tissues all over the body.

Great Cardiac Vein- returns deoxygenated blood (metabolic waste products) from the anterior
surfaces of the left ventricle.

Anterior Interventricular Artery- passes around the inferior border of the heart. On the inferior
surface of the heart it anastomoses with the posterior interventricular branch of the right
coronary artery.

Apex- With every beat, the heart twists forward and the apex taps against the chest wall,
producing the apex beat.

Marie Sklodowska Curie


 first woman to win a Nobel Prize, in Physics, and with her later win, in Chemistry,
she became the first person to claim Nobel honors twice. Her efforts with her
husband Pierre led to the discovery of polonium and radium, and she
championed the development of X-rays
 Marie's efforts led to the discovery of polonium and radium and, after
Pierre's death, the further development of X-rays.

 She theorized, came from the element's atomic structure. This


revolutionary idea created the field of atomic physics. Curie herself
coined the word "radioactivity" to describe the phenomena.
