    ventricle is filled the tricuspid valve closes to prevent any back flow of the blood. The right ventricle contracts forcing the blood to enter into the pulmonary artery 2 through the pulmonary valve. The pulmonary artery extends into both of the lungs where the deoxygenated blood is replenished with oxygen and is send back to the heart through the pulmonary veins into the left atrium chamber 4 at this time the left and right atrium relax to intake oxygenated and deoxygenated blood respectively.…

    composed of the heart and the blood vessels. The main function of the cardiovascular system is to pump blood around the body. The cardiovascular System is divided into two parts, the systematic circuit and the pulmonary circuit. The systematic circuit contains oxygenated blood and the pulmonary blood contains deoxygenated blood. In order to prevent oxygenated and deoxygenated blood from mixing there is a structure called an interventricular septum. The septum separates the cardiac chambers;…

    Describe the structure and function of the cardiovascular system Blood vessels Arteries, veins and capillaries takes blood and nutrition to the muscles and back from the heart.

    cardiovascular system. The heart has four main parts: the left ventricle,the right ventricle, the left atrium, and the right atrium. A wall of muscle called the septum separates them. Oxygen-rich blood from the lungs goes to the left atrium by the pulmonary vein. The left atrium then pumps this blood to the left ventricle. The right atrium collects deoxygenated blood from the body and then pumps this deoxygenated blood to the right ventricle. The left vertical…
