Objectives 23 & 24: Major vessels of the heart and heart structures

This picture taken from one of the PowerPoint presentations from Chapter 17 served multiple purposes for me.  First and foremost, I learn through repetition, so printing out this unlabeled picture of the open heart allowed me to practive labeling the chambers of the heart and their associated valves.  It was also useful in reviewing the major vessels entering and leaving the heart and in helping to understand the structure and appearance of the chamber walls, the chordae tendinae, the trabeculae, and the papillary muscles.
