Definitions:

Pulmonary Trunk

A major blood vessel that carries blood from the heart’s right ventricle to the lungs for oxygenation.

Pulmonary Arteries

are the arteries that carry deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs for oxygenation.

Myocardial Contraction

The phase of the cardiac cycle during which the heart muscle contracts, forcing blood out of the chambers.

Coronary Blood Vessels

The arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle itself, crucial for its function and vitality.
