4 chambers of heart |
1) left atrium 2) right atrium 3) left ventricle 4) right ventricle |
|
|
Right side of heart |
Receives blood coming back from body
Right atrium- right ventricle- left for pulmonary arteries-left side for gas exchange |
|
|
Left side of heart |
Oxygen rich blood from left and right lungs pumps to body
Lungs-pulmonary veins – left atrium – left- Ventricle – aorta |
|
|
Artery |
Highly elastic wall elasticity allows the artery to expand as blood goes through Opens during relaxation of ventricles |
|
|
Veins |
Thinner walls than Arteries
Not as elastic
One way valves prevent backflow of blood |
|
|
Capillaries |
Smallest blood vessels Capillary wall is a single layer of cell |
|
|
Pulmonary circluation |
Blood from heart to lungs Blood flowing from heart to lungs carries waste carbon dioxide gas |
|
|
Systemic circulation |
Blood from heart to body takes oxygenated gas
Blood returns to heart caring waste carbon dioxide from bodies tissues |
|
|
Systemic circulation |
