The right atrium is the chamber that receives oxygen-poor blood from the body.
The left atrium is the chamber that receives oxygen-rich blood from the lungs.
The right ventricle is the chamber that pumps blood to the lungs for oxygenation.
The left ventricle is the chamber that pumps oxygen-rich blood to the body.
The aortic valve is the valve that controls blood flow from the left ventricle into the aorta.
The mitral valve is the valve that regulates blood flow between the left atrium and left ventricle.
The tricuspid valve is the valve that controls blood flow between the right atrium and right ventricle.
The pulmonary valve is the valve that directs blood from the right ventricle into the pulmonary artery.
The septum is the wall that separates the left and right sides of the heart.
The myocardium is the muscular tissue of the heart responsible for contraction.
The endocardium is the thin inner layer that lines the chambers and valves of the heart.
The apex is the pointed lower tip of the heart where the heartbeat can often be felt most strongly.

The alveolus is a tiny air sac in the lungs where oxygen enters the blood and carbon dioxide is removed.
