Cardiovascular Anatomy Flashcards
Pulmonary Ciculation
Lower Pressure
From the heart to the lungs and back
Systemic Ciculation
Higher pressure
Distributed from the heart throughout the body and back
Which direction do Arteries carry blood?
Arteries carry blood AWAY from the heart.
Which direction do Veins carry blood?
Venis carry blood TOWARD the heart.
Blood Leaves the heart through:
Pulmonary trunk or the aorta
Then it flows into smaller ad smaller arteries, then int arterioles, capillaries, venules, and finally into incresingly large beins until it ultimately returens to the heart.
In the Portal System, blood flows through how many capillary beds before returning to the heart.
2 capillary beds
Hepatic Portal System
Hypothalamico-hypophyseal Portal System
During standard circulation, blood flows through how many capillaries before returing to the heart.
