Veins Draining into Superior Vena Cava Chart: This chart shows veins like the brachiocephalic, subclavian, and jugular veins converging into the superior vena cava, which returns blood from the upper body to the heart.
Blood Flow Relaxed Ventricles: When the ventricles relax during diastole, blood flows passively from the atria into the ventricles through the open AV valves, preparing the heart for the next contraction.
Major Systemic Artery: The major systemic artery is the aorta, which distributes oxygenated blood from the left ventricle to the entire body via its ascending, arch, and descending sections.
