All blood vessels are specifically structured to perform their function. Blood vessels are intricate networks of hollow tubes that transport blood throughout the entire body. The heart is tilted so that its pointed end, the apex, points downward toward the left hi.

Veins are the large blood vessels that return blood from various tissues to the heart so that the blood can be pumped out to tissues again.

Intraoperatively, the anatomy of the heart is viewed from the right side of the supine patient via a median sternotomy incision. The heart has its own set of blood vessels that provide the myocardium with the oxygen and nutrients necessary to pump blood throughout the body. Carbon dioxide exits the blood and oxygen enters. Atria are often called the receiving chambers because they receive blood from vessels called veins.
