General
What are the three main parts of the Circulatory System?
What is The heart, blood vessels, and blood
What is systemic circulation?
It is the part of the circulatory system that delivers oxygenated blood from the left ventricle to all parts of the body
What does the Pulmonary Circulatory System do?
Transports deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs for oxygenation and returns oxygenated blood to the heart
What is the coronary circulation?
It is the system of blood vessels that provides the heart muscle with its own blood supply, oxygen, and nutrients
What type of blood do veins normally carry
deoxygenated
What is the Pericardium?
A thin, double-layered sac that surrounds and protects the heart
What does the Systemic Circulatory System do?
Carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body and returns deoxygenated blood back to the heart.
What type of blood is found in the pulmonary veins?
Oxygenated blood
What does the Coronary Circulatory System do?
Supplies the heart muscle with oxygenated blood and removes deoxygenated blood
What type of blood do Arteries normally carry
Oxygenated
Where are red and white blood cells produced?
Produced in the bone marrow
What are the components of the Systemic Circulatory System?
The left side of the heart, the aorta and other arteries, capillaries, and veins including the vena cavae
What are the components of the Pulmonary Circulatory System?
The heart,the blood vessels pulmonary arteries and the pulmonary veins
What are the components of the Coronary Circulatory System?
The coronary arteries and the coronary veins.
How many chambers does the heart have?
4, Right atrium Right ventricle Left atrium Left ventricle
What is the purpose of the Circulatory System? What does it do?
To transport oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to all the body's cells and tissues. It also removes waste products like carbon dioxide.
What is the largest artery in the systemic circuit?
The aorta
Does the Pulmonary Artery carry oxygenated or deoxygenated blood.
What is deoxygenated
When does the heart receive the most blood?
When the heart relaxes
What is the difference between arteries and veins?
Arteries carry oxygenated blood while veins carry deoxygenated blood
What causes heart valves to open and close?
The pressure changes that occur during the contraction and relaxation of the heart chambers cause the valves to open and close.
What is a heart murmur?
A heart murmur is leaky heart valves, which allows blood to flow backward.
What chamber of the heart pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs?
Right ventricle
What is the main vessel that return's blood to the right atrium?
Vena cava
What path does blood take through the heart?
Enters the right atrium, goes to the right ventricle, to the lungs, then the left atrium. The left atrium then sends it to the left ventricle, which pumps it to the rest of the body.
