What are the four main blood vessels?
Vena Cava
Pulmonary Artery
Pulmonary Vein
Aorta
Pulmonary Artery
Pulmonary Vein
Aorta

What is a double circulatory system?
where the blood passes through the heart twice
Right ventricle of body pumps deoxygenated blood from body through to the lungs to become oxygenated
Left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood from lungs through to rest of the body to all body cells
Right ventricle of body pumps deoxygenated blood from body through to the lungs to become oxygenated
Left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood from lungs through to rest of the body to all body cells
3 of 40
What type of organisms have a double circulatory system?
All mammals
4 of 40
What separates the ventricles and atria?
valves
5 of 40
What is the right valve called?
Tricuspid valve
6 of 40
What is the left valve called?
bicuspid/mitral valve
7 of 40
What valves separate the ventricles and blood vessel?
semi lunar valves
8 of 40
What is the job of these valves?
to prevent the backflow of blood
9 of 40
What is the job of the vena cava?
to bring deoxygenated blood from the body into the heart
10 of 40
What is the job of the pulmonary artery?
takes deoxygenated blood to the lungs for gas exchange to take place and for blood to become oxygenated.
11 of 40
What is the job of the pulmonary vein?
brings in oxygenated blood from the lungs into the heart
12 of 40
What is the job of the aorta?
takes oxygenated blood away from the heart to the rest of the body
13 of 40
What is the septum?
separates both sides of the heart
14 of 40
What is the role of the septum?
prevent the mixture of blood from either side of heart
15 of 40
What is key about the left side of the heart?
it has thicker muscular tissue
16 of 40
Why does it have a thicker muscular wall?
the blood on the left side has to be pumped under higher pressure to be sent to the rest of the body.
17 of 40
What type of tissue is the heart made of?
cardiac muscle tissue
18 of 40
What is the role of the coronary arteries?
provides oxygenated blood to heart for it to undertake respiration
19 of 40
Why does the heart need to undertake respiration?
provides energy to the heart for contraction
(allows it to keep pumping) by providing glucose
(allows it to keep pumping) by providing glucose
20 of 40
What is the first stage of the blood going through the heart?
deoxygenated blood from body enters heart via vena cava
21 of 40
which side of the heart is this?
the right side
22 of 40
What is the second stage?
The blood enters the right atrium
23 of 40
Third stage?
right atrium contracts, tricuspid valve opens and blood is squeezed into the right ventricle
24 of 40
Fourth stage?
valves close, ventricles contract
25 of 40
Which blood vessel does the blood leave through and why?
blood exits through the pulmonary artery to go to the lungs to become oxygenated
26 of 40
Fifth stage?
oxygenated blood enters back into heart through the pulmonary vein
27 of 40
Sixth stage?
blood is passed into the left atrium
28 of 40
Seventh stage?
left atrium contracts, bicuspid valve opens and blood passes into left ventricle
29 of 40
Eighth stage?
valves close, ventricles contract and blood exits through the aorta
30 of 40
Where does the blood go after this?
to the rest of the body
31 of 40

32 of 40
Where does most of the oxygenated blood go?
to the rest of the organs
33 of 40
Where does some of it go?
to the coronary arteries
34 of 40
What controls our resting heart rate?
a pacemaker
35 of 40
What is it and where is it located?
a group of cells
in right atrium
in right atrium
36 of 40
They produce a small?
electric impulse
37 of 40
Which spreads to surrounding?
muscle cells
38 of 40
Causing them to?
contract
39 of 40
What happens if a patients natural cells dont work?
an artificial pace maker may be used
