The interatrial groove, separating the two atria, is scarcely marked on the posterior surface, while anteriorly it is hidden by the pulmonary artery and aorta.

| Cardiovascular system - Heart - edit |
| atria (interatrial septum, musculi pectinati) | ventricles (interventricular septum, trabeculae carneae, chordae tendinae, papillary muscle) | valves
base | apex | grooves (coronary/atrioventricular, interatrial, anterior interventricula, posterior interventricular) | surfaces (sternocostal, diaphragmatic) | borders (right, left)
right heart: (vena cavae, coronary sinus) → right atrium (auricle, fossa ovalis, limbus of fossa ovalis, crista terminalis, valve of the inferior vena cava, valve of the coronary sinus) → tricuspid valve → right ventricle (conus arteriosus, moderator band/septomarginal trabecula) → pulmonic valve → (pulmonary artery and pulmonary circulation)
left heart: (pulmonary veins) → left atrium (auricle) → mitral valve → left ventricle → aortic valve (aortic sinus) → (aorta and systemic circulation)
pericardium (sinus) | epicardium | endocardium | myocardium | cardiac skeleton (fibrous trigone, fibrous rings)
conduction system: cardiac pacemaker | Purkinje fibers | bundle of His | SA node | AV node
