These hallmarks are intended to apply to all professional practice settings and all types of nursing practice. The hallmarks may be useful to new graduates, practicing nurses, students, faculty, nurse executives and managers, and employers across all nursing practice settings.
The right ventricle receives blood from the right atrium across the tricuspid valve, which is located in the large anterolateral (ie, sinus) portion of the right ventricle. The right ventricle discharges blood into the pulmonary artery across the pulmonic (semilunar) valve located in the outflow tract (infundibulum). The inflow tract (sinus) and outflow tract (infundibulum) of the right ventricle are widely separated.
Blood passing through the left side of the heart is kept. separate from blood passing through the right side of the. heart. Thus, the human heart is actually a double pump, right. and left. The right heart receives blood from the systemic. veins and pumps the blood into pulmonary arteries going to. the lungs. The left heart receives blood coming from the. lungs by way of the pulmonary veins and pumps the blood to. the rest of the body. Fig.
