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.
It begins after the aortic valve where blood has left the heart, and ends in the superior and inferior vena cavae that bring deoxygenated blood from the organs back to the heart. Summary: The heart pumps blood through the coronary circulation to supply oxygen to the heart itself, and through the systemic circulation to supply the entire body other than the heart. Deoxygenated blood from all parts of the body enters into the heart through the superior and inferior vena cava. The blood enters the right atrium. When the right atrium contracts the blood is pushed into the right ventricle through the tricuspid valve.
