Back 30

1. Transports blood into, out of, and throughout the body

2. Regulates body temperature

6. Carries hormones to the cells

Front 59

Circulation of the Blood Step 1

Back 59

Oxygen Deficient blood from the limbs, trunk, and brain enters travels through the superior and Inferior vena cavae to the right atrium

Front 60

Circulation of the Blood Step 2

Back 60

The right atrium receives oxygen deficient blood from the vena cavae. The contraction of the right atrium sends blood to the right ventricle through the tricuspid valve.

Front 61

Circulation of the Blood Step 3

Back 61

The tricuspid valve opens and sends oxygen deficient blood to the right ventricle.

Front 62

Circulation of the Blood Step 4

Back 62

The right ventricle fills with blood and is forced out by the contraction of the ventricle. The tricuspid valve closes and opens the pulmonary semilunar valve

Front 63

Circulation of the Blood Step 5

Back 63

The pulmonary semilunar valve opens and blood flows into the pulmonary artery

Front 64

Circulation of the Blood Step 6

Back 64

Deoxygenated blood flows into the pulmonary artery and in pumped into the lungs.

Front 65

Circulation of the Blood Step 7

Back 65

The oxygen-deficient blood flows through the left and right pulmonary arteries to the pulmonary capillaries

Front 66

Circulation of the Blood Step 8

Back 66

In the pulmonary capillaries the blood receives oxygen that was inhaled and discards carbon monoxide to be exhaled. The oxygenated blood leaves the capillaries.

Front 67

Circulation of the Blood Step 9

Back 67

The oxygenated blood moves through the four pulmonary veins to the left atrium.

Front 68

Circulation of the Blood Step 10

Back 68

Blood with high oxygen content enters the left atrium

Front 69

Circulation of the Blood Step 11

Back 69

The bicuspid valve (mitral valve) opens and allows oxygen rich blood to flow from the left atrium into the left ventricle

Front 70

Circulation of the Blood Step 12

Back 70

As the left ventricle fills, it contracts and pumps blood out through the largest artery of the body, the aorta closing the mitral valve

Front 71

Circulation of the Blood Step 13

Back 71

Once the mitral valve is closed, the aortic semilunar valve opens and the eventual backflow against the valve closes the aortic valve

Front 72

Circulation of the Blood Step 14

Back 72

The aorta distributes oxygen rich blood to the arteries and capillaries throughout the body. The aorta first moves up (ascending aorta) then arches back and continues down (descending aorta) the body in front of the spinal column

Front 73

Pulmonary Circulation

Back 73

Moves blood from the heart to the lungs and returns it to the heart again

Front 74

Oxygenated blood & Deoxygenated blood location

Back 74

Right side of the heart contains deoxygenated blood to be sent to the lungs for oxygenation (the pulmonary circuit)

Left side of the heart contains oxygenated blood collected from the lungs to be supplied to the entire body (systemic circulation)
