blood flow through the cardiovascular system Flashcards
what pattern does blood flow throughout the cardiovascular system
cyclic pattern
where does blood flow start
left ventricle
what happens after blood flow starts in the left ventricle
oxygenated blood is pumped to the body
what happens after blood flow starts in the left ventricle and oxygenated blood is pumped to the body
blood flows through arteries to capillaries
what happens as blood flows through arteries and capillaries
it transports oxygen to tissues and picks up co2
what happens after blood flow starts in the left ventricle and oxygenated blood is pumped to the body, blood flows through the arteries and capillaries where it transports oxygen to tissues and picks up co2
deoxygenated blood returns to the heart through the veins
what are the contents of the blood once it is deoxygenated and returns to the heart through the veins
blood is deoxygenated and concentrated with co2
what happens after the blood is deoxygenated and returns to the heart through the veins
blood enters the heart through right atrium and flows into right ventricle
what does the right ventricle do after blood enters the heart through the right atrium and flows into right ventricle
right ventricle pumps blood toward lungs through arteries where it picks up oxygen and loses co2
what happens after right ventricle pumps blood toward lungs through arteries where it picks up oxygen and loses co2
blood returns to heart through left atrium using veins and starts the cycle again
