The heart consists of four chambers two atria and two ventricles it also has two pairs of valves (atrioventricular valves and the semilunar valves). The arteries‚ arterioles‚ veins and venules have the same tissue layout but different thickness of the tissues is different. It also contains nervous tissue which is under the control of autonomic nervous system controlling whether the heart beat speeds up or slows down. In arteries

The superior/inferior left pulmonary veins along with the superior/inferior right pulmonary veins create an X shape on the dorsal/posterior side of the heart. The Superior vena cava lies just superiorly to the right pulmonary veins. Below the right pulmonary veins is where the right atrium can be found. The left atrium is just inferior to the left pulmonary veins. Bordering the left atrium is the coronary sinus. The coronary sinus separates the left/right
