|
the cardiovascular system

|
|
Arteries
|
carry blood that is almost always high in oxygen (exception: pulmonary artery - carries blood that is low in oxygen) from the heart to tissues and organs.
|
|
|
arterioles
|
little arteries
|
|
|
aorta

coronary arteries
|
branch from the aorta and provides the myocardium with blood. Through the coronary arteries, is the only way the heart muscle can get blood/oxygen.
|
|
|
Veins
|
carry blood that is almost always low in oxygen (exception: pulmonary vein - carries blood that is high in oxygen) to the heart
|
|
|
venules
|
little veins
|
|
|
superior vena cava
|
large vein that brings blood low in oxygen from the upper part of the body, to the heart
|
|
|
inferior vena cava
|
large vein that brings blood low in oxygen from the lower part of the body to the heart
|
|
|
Capillaries
|
join the arterial (arteries) system with the venous (veins) system
|
|
|
where is the heart contained?
|
The heart is contained in a sac called the pericardium (tissue around the heart
|

|
endocardium
|
inner layer; as the textbook indicates, lines the four chambers of the heart and its valves and is continuous with the arteries and veins
|
