24
Q

The movement of blood through the body that is caused by the pumping action of the heart

A

Circulation

25
Movement of blood from the heart to the lungs, and back to the heart.
Pulmonary Circulation
26
Movement of blood through the tissues of the heart.
Coronary Circulation
27
Movement of blood from the heart to the rest of the body, excluding the lungs.
Systemic Circulation
28
A system that carry oxygen and nutrients to every cell of the body and removes carbon dioxide and other wastes from the cells
Circulatory System Cardiovascular System
29
Pumps the blood throughout the body.
HEART
30
Carries the blood throughout the body
BLOOD VESSEL
31
carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the cells, tissues and organs of the body except pulmonary arteries, which carry deoxygenated blood to the lungs for oxygenation.
Arteries-
32
carry deoxygenated blood towards the heart excluding pulmonary veins, which carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.
Veins-
33
the smallest blood vessels in the body, connecting the smallest arteries to the smallest veins.
Capillaries-
34
A hollow muscle located in the center of the chest, usually pointing slightly left. Is roughly the size of a large fist. An organ that pumps blood throughout the body via the circulatory system, supplying oxygen and nutrients to the tissues and removing carbon dioxide and other wastes.
The Human Heart
35
A membrane covering the heart.
PERICARDIUM
36
A wall of tissue that divides the heart into half.
SEPTUM
37
The receiving chambers of the heart accepting blood from the body (right atrium) and from the lungs (left atrium).
ATRIA/ UPPER CHAMBER
38
The pumping chambers of the heart moving blood to the lungs (right ventricle) and into the body (left ventricle).
VENTRICLES/LOWER CHAMBER
39
It prevents the blood from flowing backward
VALVES
40
(LA and LV)
Bicuspid valve
41
(RA and RV
* Tricuspid valve
42
(RV and pulmonary artery
* Pulmonary valve

55
Systemic Circulation
Oxygenated Blood (left and right lung) -> Pulmonary veins(left and right)-> Left Atrium -> Bicuspid Valve-> Left ventricle-> Aortic Valve -> Aorta -> Different parts of the body (upper and lower)
56
Pulmonary Circulation-
Deoxygenated Blood (upper and lower body)-> Superior and Inferior Vena Cava -> Right Atrium -> Tricuspid Valve -> Right Ventricle -> Pulmonary Valve -> Right Ventricle -> Pulmonary valve -> Pulmonary arteries -> to the left and right lungs
