✔✔what are the vertebrae of the spinal column - ✔✔lumbar, thoracic, cervical
✔✔atria - ✔✔superior chambers of the heart; receive blood from outside the heart
✔✔right atrium - ✔✔gathers deoxygenated blood from the body
✔✔left atrium - ✔✔gathers oxygenated blood from lungs
✔✔ventricles - ✔✔inferior chambers; force blood out of the heart
✔✔right ventricle - ✔✔pumps deoxygenated blood to lungs
✔✔left ventricle - ✔✔pumps oxygenated blood to body
✔✔sinoatrial (SA) node - ✔✔located in right atrium; receives signal to contract;
"pacemaker for the heart"
✔✔arteries - ✔✔transport blood away from the heart
