Question 11

pulmonary arteries

Answer 11

Receives deoxygenated blood, at pressure, from the right ventricle and takes it to the lungs

Question 12

pulmonary circuit

Answer 12

Involves the transport of blood to and from the lungs

Question 13

pulmonary veins

Answer 13

Carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart

Question 14

Answer 16

Lie beneath the clavicles; take oxygenated blood to the arms

Question 17

subclavian veins

Answer 17

Lie beneath the clavicles, take deoxygenated blood from the arms back to the anterior vena cava

Question 18

systemic circuit

Answer 18

Involves the transport of blood to and from all tissues of the body

Question 19

vena cava

Answer 19

Large vein that collects deoxygenated blood from the body and returns it to the right atrium of the heart.
Superior Venous Cava: Venous return from the upper part of the body.
Inferior Vena Cava: Venous return from the lower part of the body

Question 20
