56. Blood that contains large amounts of carbon dioxide flows from the body into what atrium of the heart?

A

Right

72. Pathway of the circulatory system

17
Q

57. Blood returns to the heart from the body through the blood vessel called what?

19
Q

64. Substances are exchanged between the blood and body cells in the blood vessels known as what?

A

Capillaries

20
Q

66. Fluid from the blood that enters lymphatic vessels is known as what?

A

Lymph

69. WKST Blood and Lymph

21
Q

68. What is the septum and what is its function?

A

A hole in the septum would allow oxygen-poor blood to mix with oxygen-rich blood. As a result, less oxygen would go to the body’s cells
65. CLF exterior heart

22
Q

69. What is the left ventricle? When blood enters this structure, is the blood low or high in oxygen?

A

blood entering the left ventricle is high in oxygen, be issue it has just come form the left atrium, which receives oxygen-rich blood from the lungs
72. Pathway of the circulatory system

23
Q

72. What is the left atrium, and what are the blood lead into it? What is its level of oxygen content?

A

Pulmonary veins. High in oxygen

72. Pathway of the circulatory system

24
Q

77. What are the pulmonary arteries and where are they found??

A

The artery goes from left to right and it is below the aortic arch and above the the veins. Which are below the arteries and and go from left to right as well
65. CLF exterior heart

25
Q

78. What order starting with the vena cava’s, show the pathway of blood. And out of it is oxygenated or deoxygenated, and if two parts have blood flowing at the same time, put them on the same line

A
Superior vena cava, inferior vena cava deox.
Right atrium, deox,
Right ventricle, deox. 
Pulmonary trunk, deox.
Right pulmonary artery, left PA., deox.
Lungs
Right PV, Left PV, oxy.
Left atrium, oxy.

27
Q

80. Where are the ventricles?

A

Ventricles are the biggest parts of the heart at the bottom
