?
Human blood circulatory system where blood is limited to blood vessels:
Cardiovascular system
1 of 26
double-walled membrane that encloses the heart?
Pericardium
2 of 26
two smaller, upper, receiving chambers in the human heart
Atria
3 of 26
two larger,lower pumping chambers in the human heart
ventricles
4 of 26
name the 4 chambers
right atrium , left atrium , left ventricle, right ventricle
5 of 26
name of the strong muscle wall
septum
6 of 26
what does the aorta do ?
carries oxygenated blood to all parts of the body.
7 of 26
superior vena-cava ?
carries deoxygenated blood from the upper part of the body (head & arms) to heart
8 of 26
right atrium
receives deoxygenated blood from the superior vena cavae
9 of 26
coronary artery
supplies oxygenated blood to muscles of the heart
10 of 26
inferior vena cava
carries deoxygenated blood from lower part of body to heart
11 of 26
pulmonary artery
carries deoxygenated blood to lungs
12 of 26
pulmonary veins
returns oxygenated blood from lungs to heart
13 of 26
left atrium
receives blood from the lungs
14 of 26
coronary vein
carries deoxygenated blood from the heart muscle
15 of 26
name the 4 valves
tri-cuspid , bicuspid, pulmonary and aortic
16 of 26
tri-cuspid
between right atrium and ventricle. three cusps
17 of 26
bicuspid valve
between left atrium and ventricle. two cusps
18 of 26
pulmonary valve
at entrance to pulmonary artery. two cusps shaped like a half moon(semi-lunar valve) prevents back flow into the heart.
19 of 26
aortic valve
at entrance to aorta. (also a semi-lunar valve) prevents back flow from the aorta after contraction of the heart.
20 of 26
systole
when the heart contracts
21 of 26
diastole
relaxation the heart (die)
22 of 26
name the 3 blood vessels
arteries , capillaries and veins
23 of 26
arteries
transport blood Away from the heart. thick outer wall and thick layer of muscle.
24 of 26
capillaries
found at end of arterioles. smallest vessels.
25 of 26
veins
transport blood to the heart. have semi-lunar valves to prevent back flow into the heart.
