Biology- Blood Flow Through the Heart
pulmonary artery
Carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs
pulmonary veins
Deliver oxygen rich blood from the lungs to the left atrium
left ventricle
Pumps oxygenated blood into the aorta
right atrium
Receives deoxygenated blood from the body
What two valves are the semilunar valves?
aortic and pulmonary
artery
carries blood away from the heart (transports oxygenated blood except pulmonary artery)
inferior vena cava
carries blood from lower regions of the body to right atrium
aorta
carries blood from the heart to be distributed by branch arteries through the body
Veins
carries blood to the heart (transports deoxygenated blood except pulmonary vein)
jugular veins
drain blood from the head
right ventricle
pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs
superior vena cava
receives blood from the head and arms and chest and empties into the right atrium of the heart
left atrium
receives oxygenated blood from the lungs
capillary
small blood vessels where O2 diffuses into tissues and CO2 enters blood
carotid arteries
supplies brain with blood
renal vessels
supply and drain kidneys
femoral vessels
supply and drain leg
lung capillaries
tiny blood vessels surrounding lung tissue through which gases pass into and out of the blood
what two valves are atrioventricular?
tricuspid and mitral
mitral valve
valve between the left atrium and the left ventricle
aortic valve
valve between the left ventricle and the aorta
tricuspid valve
valve between the right atrium and the right ventricle
pulmonary valve
valve between the right ventricle and pulmonary artery
