BIO 2 TRANSPORT AND CIRCULATION Flashcards
The blood is enclosed in the
vessels and the heart while
circulating. The blood travels
through arteries and veins and
carries important molecules
throughout the body.
Closed Circulatory System-
Your circulatory system’s three basic
functions are:
Move blood throughout your body.
Bring oxygen and nutrients to your
organs, muscles and tissues.
Remove waste products like carbon
dioxide and your organs’ chemical
byproducts.
moves the blood
between the heart and the rest of the
body.The aorta carries oxygen-rich blood
from the left heart to the body. Blood
reaches organs and tissues through a
network of arteries and capillaries.
Capillaries connect the arterial system
(oxygen-rich) with the venous system
(oxygen-poor).
The systemic circulation
Tiny blood vessels (like capillaries) where oxygen and
nutrients are delivered to cells.
Microcirculation
Big blood vessels (like arteries and veins) that carry blood around.
Macrocirculation
It receives deoxygenated blood that
came from superior and inferior vena cava and pumps it to the next chamber whid blood to the lungs.
Right Atrium
Coming from the right atrium, the right ventricle pumps the deoxygenated blood
to the lungs.
Right Ventricle
Located at the upper left part of the
heart, the left atrium receives oxygenated
blood that comes from the lungs.
Left Atrium
chamber, it pumps
the oxygenated blood
throughout the body
via the aortic valve.
Left Ventricle
A doorway that
connects right
atrium to right
ventricle.
Tricuspid Valve
Located at the right
ventricle, it acts as a
gate for blood to
enter the pulmonary
artery to deliver
blood to the lungs.
Pulmonary Valve
A doorway that
connects left
atrium to left
ventricle.
Mitral Valve
- Acts as a gate for oxygenated blood to enter the aorta to deliver blood throughout the body. It is located at the left
ventricle.
Aortic Valve
- Delivers deoxygenated
blood from the upper
parts of the body to
inside the heart or right
atrium.
Superior Vena Cava
- Delivers deoxygenated
blood from the lower
parts of the body to
inside the heart or right
atrium.
Inferior Vena Cava
- It delivers
deoxygenated blood
from the right ventricle
to the lungs. It splits in
two ways; The left and
right pulmonary artery.
Pulmonary Artery
- Delivers
oxygenated blood
from the lungs
back to the heart.
Pulmonary Vein
- Carries oxygenated
blood from the left
ventricle to outside of the
heart and pumps it
throughout the body. It
acts as the exitway of
blood out of the heart.
Aorta
It transports blood from the right ventricle to the lungs and back to the left atrium.
Pulmonary Vessels
- It carries blood from the left ventricle to the
tissues in all parts of the body and then returns
the blood to the right atrium.
Systemic Vessels
- A thick and elastic
red-colored
muscular wall that
carries blood away
from the heart.
Arteries
- A thinner blue-colored
muscular wall that
returns blood back to
the heart.
Veins
- A tiny one cell thick
vessels that connect the
arteries and veins
together. - It carries blood and
nutrients inside the tissues
and organs.
Capillaries
three layers that surround the lumen
Tunics-
- the hollow part that blood flows
