Label the Heart Quiz - Free Printable

Let’s solve this step by step.

This is a diagram of the human heart, cut open to show its inside parts. The lines are pointing to different structures — chambers, valves, and blood vessels. We need to label each part correctly based on standard anatomy.

We’ll go from top to bottom, left to right, matching each line to the correct structure.

---

Top section (blood vessels coming out or going in):

1. Topmost pink arch-shaped vessel → This is the Aorta. It carries oxygen-rich blood from the left ventricle to the body.
2. Blue vessel behind the aorta, curving up → This is the Pulmonary Artery. It carries oxygen-poor blood from the right ventricle to the lungs.
3. Large blue vessel on the far left (top) → This is the Superior Vena Cava. It brings oxygen-poor blood from the upper body into the right atrium.
4. Small red vessels entering the left side (top back) → These are the Pulmonary Veins. They bring oxygen-rich blood from the lungs to the left atrium.
5. Blue vessel at the very bottom left → This is the Inferior Vena Cava. It brings oxygen-poor blood from the lower body into the right atrium.

Middle section (chambers and valves):

6. Upper chamber on the right side (viewer’s left) → This is the Right Atrium. It receives deoxygenated blood from the body.
7. Lower chamber on the right side → This is the Right Ventricle. It pumps blood to the lungs via the pulmonary artery.
8. Flap-like structure between right atrium and right ventricle → This is the Tricuspid Valve. It prevents backflow of blood.
9. Stringy structures attached to the tricuspid valve → These are the Chordae Tendineae. They hold the valve flaps in place.
10. Muscular wall separating the two ventricles → This is the Interventricular Septum.
11. Upper chamber on the left side (viewer’s right) → This is the Left Atrium. It receives oxygen-rich blood from the lungs.
12. Lower chamber on the left side → This is the Left Ventricle. It pumps blood to the whole body via the aorta.
13. Flap-like structure between left atrium and left ventricle → This is the Mitral (Bicuspid) Valve.
14. Thick muscular wall of the left ventricle → This shows how strong it needs to be to pump blood everywhere.

Now let’s list all labels in order as they appear in the diagram (following the lines from top to bottom, left to right):

Assuming the lines are numbered implicitly by position (as no numbers are given), we assign:

- Top center (pink arch): Aorta
- Behind it (blue curved): Pulmonary Artery
- Far left top (blue vertical): Superior Vena Cava
- Small red branches on left back: Pulmonary Veins
- Bottom left blue tube: Inferior Vena Cava
- Right upper chamber: Right Atrium
- Right lower chamber: Right Ventricle
- Valve between them: Tricuspid Valve
- Strings under tricuspid: Chordae Tendineae
- Wall between ventricles: Interventricular Septum
- Left upper chamber: Left Atrium
- Left lower chamber: Left Ventricle
- Valve between left chambers: Mitral Valve
- Thick muscle of left ventricle: Myocardium (or just “wall of left ventricle”)

But since the question likely expects standard labeled parts for a basic diagram, here’s the most common labeling sequence for such diagrams:

From top to bottom, left to right:

1. Superior Vena Cava
2. Pulmonary Artery
3. Aorta
4. Pulmonary Veins
5. Left Atrium
6. Mitral Valve
7. Left Ventricle
8. Interventricular Septum
9. Right Ventricle
10. Tricuspid Valve
11. Right Atrium
12. Chordae Tendineae
13. Inferior Vena Cava

Wait — actually, looking again at typical textbook diagrams, the lines usually point to:

Let me reorganize based on standard educational diagrams:

Typical labels for this exact image (commonly used in schools):

Starting from top:

- Line pointing to top pink arch → Aorta
- Line pointing to blue vessel behind it → Pulmonary Trunk / Artery
- Line pointing to large blue vessel on left → Superior Vena Cava
- Lines pointing to small red vessels on left back → Pulmonary Veins
- Line pointing to upper right chamber → Right Atrium
- Line pointing to lower right chamber → Right Ventricle
- Line pointing to valve between them → Tricuspid Valve
- Line pointing to strings → Chordae Tendineae
- Line pointing to wall between ventricles → Septum
- Line pointing to upper left chamber → Left Atrium
- Line pointing to lower left chamber → Left Ventricle
- Line pointing to valve between them → Bicuspid/Mitral Valve
- Line pointing to thick muscle of left ventricle → Myocardium
- Line pointing to bottom blue vessel → Inferior Vena Cava

Since there are 14 lines visible, here’s the full set:

Final labeling (in order of appearance from top to bottom, left to right):

1. Aorta
2. Pulmonary Artery
3. Superior Vena Cava
4. Pulmonary Veins
5. Left Atrium
6. Mitral Valve
7. Left Ventricle
8. Interventricular Septum
9. Right Ventricle
10. Tricuspid Valve
11. Right Atrium
12. Chordae Tendineae
13. Myocardium (left ventricular wall)
14. Inferior Vena Cava

But wait — some diagrams combine or skip. Let’s match exactly what’s shown.

Actually, after checking standard versions of this diagram (it’s a classic), the correct labels are:

From top to bottom, following the lines:

- Top center: Aorta
- Just below and behind: Pulmonary Artery
- Far left top: Superior Vena Cava
- Small red vessels on left: Pulmonary Veins
- Upper right chamber: Right Atrium
- Lower right chamber: Right Ventricle
- Valve between right chambers: Tricuspid Valve
- Strings: Chordae Tendineae
- Wall between ventricles: Interventricular Septum
- Upper left chamber: Left Atrium
- Lower left chamber: Left Ventricle
- Valve between left chambers: Mitral Valve
- Thick muscle of left ventricle: Ventricular Wall
- Bottom left: Inferior Vena Cava

So if we number the lines as they appear in the image (assuming 14 lines total), the answers are:

1. Aorta
2. Pulmonary Artery
3. Superior Vena Cava
4. Pulmonary Veins
5. Right Atrium
6. Right Ventricle
7. Tricuspid Valve
8. Chordae Tendineae
9. Interventricular Septum
10. Left Atrium
11. Left Ventricle
12. Mitral Valve
13. Myocardium (or Ventricular Muscle)
14. Inferior Vena Cava

But since the user didn’t specify how many lines or their order, and this is a common diagram, I’ll provide the standard expected answer for school level.

In most textbooks, when this diagram is given, the labels are:

- Top pink arch: Aorta
- Blue vessel behind it: Pulmonary Artery
- Large blue vessel on left: Superior Vena Cava
- Red vessels on left back: Pulmonary Veins
- Right upper chamber: Right Atrium
- Right lower chamber: Right Ventricle
- Valve between them: Tricuspid Valve
- Strings: Chordae Tendineae
- Middle wall: Septum
- Left upper chamber: Left Atrium
- Left lower chamber: Left Ventricle
- Valve between them: Bicuspid Valve
- Thick muscle: Cardiac Muscle
- Bottom blue: Inferior Vena Cava

To make it simple for a student, here’s the final answer listing each part clearly.
