A&P - Circulatory System Flashcards
(23 cards)
Circuit: Pulmonary
carries blood between the lungs and the heart
Circuit: Systemic
carries blood between the heart and the rest of the body
Right Atrium
receives from systemic
Right Ventricle
pumps into pulmonary
Left Atrium
receives from pulmonary
Left Ventricle
pumps into systemic
Coronary Arteries
supply heart muscle with oxygen
Coronary Sinus
deoxygenated blood from heart muscle is collected in the coronary sinus in the right atrium (main vein)
Atrial Septum
heart muscle that separates the atria
Ventricular Septum
heart muscle that separates the ventricles
Atrioventricular Septum
tissue allowing blood to flow from atria to ventricle
Tricuspid Valve
right atrium and ventricle
Mitral Valve
left atrium and ventricle
Aortic Valve
aorta and left ventricle
Pulmonary Valve
right ventricle and pulmonary trunk
Superior Vena Cava
delivers blood from head, neck, upper limbs, chest
Inferior Vena Cava
delivers blood from the rest of the trunk, lower limbs
Pulmonary Arteries
vessels branching towards the lungs so blood can be oxygenated
Pulmonary Veins
deliver the oxygenated blood back into the left atrium
Aorta
start of systemic circuit
Brachiocephalic Artery
supplies blood to arms
L/R Common Carotid
supplies blood to the head
L/R Subclavian Arteries
supplies blood to the L/R arms
