ANS: D BY


The front (anterior) surface of the heart lies behind the sternum and costal cartilages. It
BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY


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


ecause the heart is tilted slightly toward the left in the chest, the right ventricle is the a
BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY


rea of the heart that lies most directly behind the sternum.
BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY BY




OBJ: B Y Identify the surfaces of the heart.

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


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


blood from the lower body; and the coronary sinus, which is the largest vein that dra
