take blood from the heart to the organs of the body

28
Q

what do veins do?

A

take blood back from the organs to the heart

29
Q

what do capillaries do?

A

transport blood between arteries and veins (also responsible for gaseous exchange)

30
Q

what is the double circulatory system?

A

where blood passes through the heart twice and has two separate circuits, one for oxygenated blood and one for deoxygenated blood

31
Q

which side of the heart is oxygenated blood?

A

left

32
Q

which side of the heart is deoxygenated blood?

A

right

33
Q

what is the heart made of?

A

the heart is made of entirely of muscle

34
Q

how is it unlike any other muscle in the body?

A

it never tires

35
Q

how is oxygenated blood carried to the heart?

A

by the coronary arteries

36
Q

does the heart need a blood supply?

A

although it is full of blood, it does need its own blood supply

37
Q

what is the top chamber of the heart called?

A

atrium

A

ventricle

39

A

right

40
Q

which side of the heart gets oxygenated blood from the lungs ?

A

left

41
Q

what is the first step of blood circulation?

A

blood gets pumped from the heart to the lungs and pick up oxygen

42
Q

what is the second step of blood circulation?

A

the blood is then taken back to the heart

43
Q

what is the third step of blood circulation?

A

the heart pumps the blood to intestine (where oxygen and glucose are removed)

44
Q

what is the fourth step of blood circulation?

A

oxygen and glucose removed for respiration, blood is sent back to heart and starts again
