What makes up the cardiovascular system?
heart & blood vessels
almost always carry blood that have a lot of oxygen
arteries
blood does not have a lot of oxygen
pulmonary artery
small arteries
arterioles
largest artery
aorta
branches off heart, gets blood & oxygen to the heart
coronary arteries
almost always carry blood that is low in oxygen
veins
blood is high in oxygen
pulmonary vein
small veins
venules
bringing blood low in oxygen to the heart from the upper part of the body and then vice verse
superior/inferior vena cava
connects teh arteries & veins
capillaries
layers of the heart?
~pericardium
~endocardium
~myocardium
~epicardium
pericardium?
sac around the heart
endocardium?
inner layer/lines valves
myocardium?
heart muscle
Epicardium?
outer layer
top 2 chambers that recieves blood
atria
bottom 2 chambers/pumps blood
ventricles
wall/division divides the heart to the right & left side
septum
between right atrium & right ventricle
