cardiovascular system
heart
blood vessels
exchange kf gases
perfusion- blood to tissues
arteries
away from heart
veins
blood back to heart
capillaries
sites of exchange of gases
left and right atrium
recieve blood
l and r ventricles
pump blood out of heart
oxygenated blood
left side
depxygenated blood
right side
pulmonary trunk
transport blood out of R ventricles
splits into pulmonary arteries
only artery with depxygenated blood
pulmomary artery
aorta
transports blood out of left ventricle
superior and inferior vena cava
empty deoxygenated blood into R atrium
pulmonary veins
empty oxygenated blood into L atrium
right AV valve
tricuspid
left AV valve
bicuspid
mitral
semilunar valve
prevent backflow
ventricles and arterial trunk
pulmonary SL valve
R ventricle and pulmonary trunk
aortic SL valve
L ventricle and aorta
pulmonary circulation
right side
deoxygenated from R side to lungs
lungs pick up o2 and release co2
return to L side
systemic circulation
left side
moves oxygenated blood from L side to systemic cells
systemic cells exchange
return to R side
heart location
mediastinum
left rotated
base- trunks
apex- bottom
pericardium
three layered sac around heart
fibrous pericardium
outermost covering.
dense irregular CT- inelastic
prevents overfilling
parietal layer of serous pericardium
attaches to fibrous pericardium
