Explanation:
To solve this puzzle, we need to identify the parts of the heart shown in the diagram. The heart is divided into a right side (blue, carrying deoxygenated blood) and a left side (red/orange, carrying oxygenated blood). We can identify the parts by looking at their position and color.
Left Side of the Diagram (Right side of the heart):
1.
Top Box: Points to the large blue vessel at the very top. This is the
Superior Vena Cava, which brings blood from the upper body.
2.
Second Box: Points to small red vessels entering the heart. These are the
Pulmonary Veins, bringing oxygenated blood from the lungs.
3.
Third Box: Points to the upper blue chamber. This is the
Right Atrium, which receives deoxygenated blood.
4.
Fourth Box: Points to the valve between the atrium and the ventricle. This is the
Tricuspid Valve.
5.
Fifth Box: Points to the lower blue chamber. This is the
Right Ventricle, which pumps blood to the lungs.
6.
Bottom Box: Points to the large blue vessel at the bottom. This is the
Inferior Vena Cava, which brings blood from the lower body.
Right Side of the Diagram (Left side of the heart):
1.
Top Box: Points to the large red arch at the top. This is the
Aorta, which carries oxygenated blood to the body.
2.
Second Box: Points to the large blue vessel coming out of the heart. This is the
Pulmonary Artery, which carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs.
3.
Third Box: Points to small red vessels entering the heart. These are the
Pulmonary Veins (specifically on the left side).
4.
Fourth Box: Points to the upper red chamber. This is the
Left Atrium, which receives oxygenated blood.
5.
Fifth Box: Points to the valve between the left atrium and ventricle. This is the
Mitral Valve (also known as the Bicuspid Valve).
6.
Sixth Box: Points to the thick wall separating the two lower chambers. This is the
Interventricular Septum.
7.
Bottom Box: Points to the large orange chamber. This is the
Left Ventricle, which pumps oxygenated blood to the body.
Final Answer:
Left Column (Top to Bottom):
- Superior Vena Cava
- Pulmonary Veins
- Right Atrium
- Tricuspid Valve
- Right Ventricle
- Inferior Vena Cava
Right Column (Top to Bottom):
- Aorta
- Pulmonary Artery
- Pulmonary Veins
- Left Atrium
- Mitral Valve
- Interventricular Septum
- Left Ventricle
