gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh


is formed by portions of the right atrium and the left and right ventricles. However,
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh


because the heart is tilted slightly toward the left in the chest, the right ventricle is the
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh


area of the heart thatlies most directly behind the sternum.
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh




OBJ: Identify the surfaces of the heart.
gh gh gh gh gh gh

The right atrium receives blood low in oxygen from the superior vena cava, which
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh


carries blood from the head and upper extremities; the inferior vena cava, which
gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh gh
