atrioventricular valves
pumps blood to the lungs
semilunar valves
between the right ventricle and pulmonary artery
pulmonary valved

SVC
Large vein that returns deoxygenated blood to the right atrium from the lower chest, abdomen, and legs
IVC
Carries unoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs
pulmonary arteries
Carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atria
Pulmonary veins
