  3. 8. Receive blood veins and pump it into the ventricles
  4. 10. A specialized tissue found only in the heart, is able to initiate its own electrical impulses
  5. 15. Artery that carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs.
  6. 16. Chamber that pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs.
  7. 17. Largest veins in the body, responsible for returning deoxygenated blood to the heart.
