16
Q

Drains blood from the lower parts of the body to the right atrium

A

Inferior Vena Cava

17
Q

Sends blood from the right ventricle to the lungs for oxygenation

A

Pulmonary artery

18
Q

Send oxygen–rich blood from the lungs to the left atrium

A

Pulmonary veins

19
Q

It is the largest artery, it sends oxygen-rich blood from the left atrium to all parts of the body

20
Q

It is the branch of aorta that supplies blood to the heart

A

Coronary Arteries

21
Q

Flap of tough muscles in the circulatory system prevents blood to different parts of the body

22
Q

It is between the atria and the ventricle

A

Atriventricular (AV) or cuspid valves

23
Q

Between the right atrium and right ventricle

A

Tricuspid valves

24
Q

Between the left atrium and left ventricle

A

Bicuspid/Mitral valves

25
It is within the openings of the vena cava
Semilunar (SL) Valves
26
Within the opening of the pulmonary artery
Pulmonic valves
27
Within the opening of the aorta
Aortic valves
28
Thick-walled to cope with the high pressure of the blood flowing through them
Arteries
29
It have thinner walls than arteries. This is because they easily collapse when cut
Veins
30
These are the smallest blood vessels that are one-cell thick
Capillaries
