|
|
|
What are the chambers in the right side of the heart called?
|
right atrium and right ventricle
|
|
|
What conveys poorly oxygentated blood to the lungs to eliminate carbon dioxide and to replenish O2?
|
Pulmonary arteries
|
|
|
What do the pulmonary arteries do?
|
Carry blood away from the heart (poorly oxygenated) to lungs to eliminate carbon dioxide and to replenish O2
|
|
|
What do the pulmonary veins do?
|
Convey blood containing relatively low amounts of carbon dioxide and high amounts of O2 from the lungs to the left side of the heart for pumping to the systemic circulation
|
|
|
What convey blood from the lungs to the left side of the heart?
|
pulmonary veins
|
|
|
The oxygenated blood from the lungs that is heading back to the heart through veins is then headed where?
|
systemic circulation
|
|
|
What does the systemic circulation consist of?
|
Chambers on the left side of the heart (left atrium and ventricle), aorta, capillaries, superior and inferior vena cava
|
|
|

|
Where does gas exchange in tissues occur from?
|
capillaries
|
|
|
What are the body's smallest vessels?
|
capillaries
|
|
|
Systemic veins carry what type of blood?
|
deoxygenated and high in carbon dioxide and waste products

|
|
Where do the vena cava of the left side of the heart drain blood into?
|
Right atrium
|
|
|
Where is the heart located?
|
In the mediastinum
|

|
The heart is rotated how in the body?
|
Right side anterior, left side posterior
|
|
|
Where is the base of the heart found?
|
posteriorsuperior surface formed primarily by the left atrium

|
apex, slightly anteroinferiorly toward the left side of the body
