Heart/Blood System Flashcards
Circulatory system
transports all substances through the body
left side
rich in o2
right side
low in o2
ventricles
Lower chambers of the heart that pump blood out of the heart
vein
carries blood back to heart
Artery
Carries blood away from heart
capillary
one cell thick, between arteries and veins
coronary
vessels that feed the heart
pulmonary

Systemic

Antibodie
Substances formed by white blood cells to destroy antigen
Circulatory system consists of
Heart-pump
blood vessels
Blood
pulmonary valve

tricuspid valve
to control the flow of blood from your heart’s top chamber (right atrium) to the bottom chamber (right ventricle)
