circulatory system

Question 1

is the inferior vena cava pulmonary or systemic circulation? what is the function?

Answer 1

the vena cava is systemic circulation and its function is to collect blood from veins and returns the blood to the right atrium of the heart

Question 2

is the superior vena cava pulmonary or systemic circulation? what is the function?

Answer 2

superior vena cava is systemic circulation, it retrieves blood from the upper body

Question 3

is the right atrium pulmonary or systemic circulation? what is its function?

Answer 3

right atrium is systemic circulation. deoxygenated blood enters the heart through the veins before being pumped into the right ventricle

Question 4

is the left atrium pulmonary or systemic circulation? what is its function?

Answer 4

left atrium is pulmonary circulation and receives blood from the lungs and pumps into the left ventricle

Question 5

is the tricuspid valve pulmonary or systemic circulation? what is its function

Answer 5

tricuspid valve is systemic circulation. It has three flaps that separate to allow blood to pass and connect to block blood from going backwards

Question 6

is the left ventricle pulmonary or systemic circulation? what is its function?

Answer 6

left ventricle is systemic circulation. it forces blood out of the heart into the arteries.

Question 7

is the right ventricle pulmonary or systemic circulation? what is its function?

Answer 7

right ventricle is pulmonary circulation. it pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs where gas exchange occurs.

Question 8

is the pulmonary valve pulmonary or systemic circulation? what is its function?

Answer 8

pulmonary valve is pulmonary circulation. controls the flow of blood out the heart via pulmonary arteries to lungs.

Question 9

is the pulmonary arteries pulmonary or systemic circulation? what is its function?

Answer 9

pulmonary arteries is pulmonary circulation. arteries that provides the lungs blood supply

Question 10

is the pulmonary veins pulmonary or systemic circulation? what is its function?

Answer 10

pulmonary veins is systemic circulation. takes blood from the lungs back to the heart.

Question 11

is the mitral valve pulmonary or systemic circulation? what is its function?

Answer 11

mitral valve is pulmonary circulation. is pulled by the chordae tendinea to keep blood from flowing backwards and allowing it to pass.

Question 12

is the aorta pulmonary or systemic circulation? what is its function?

Answer 12

aorta is pulmonary circulation. branches in the aorta supply blood to the organs.

Question 12

is the aortic valve pulmonary or systemic circulation? what is its function?

Answer 12

aortic valve is systemic circulation. it controls the flow of blood out of the heart and to the whole body.

Question 13

is the septum pulmonary or systemic circulation? what is its function?

Answer 13

septum is pulmonary circulation. it separates the left ventricle from the right ventricle.

Question 14

is the myocardium pulmonary or systemic circulation? what is its function?

Answer 14

myocardium is pulmonary circulation. has layers of cardiac muscle that will contract itself

Question 15

what is the main 3 functions of the circulatory system?

Answer 15

carries oxygen throughout body
transports nutrients to cells
removes wastes from cells

Question 16

what is the role of arteries?

Answer 16

its function is to transport blood away from the heart to the organs and tissue in the body

Question 17

what is the role of veins?

Answer 17

its function is to return blood from the body tissues to the heart.

Question 18

what is the role of capillaries

Answer 18

allows material and gas exchange between the body cells and blood

Question 19

what is the difference of systemic circulation and pulmonary circulation?

Answer 19

Pulmonary circulation moves deoxygenated blood between the heart and the lungs. systemic circulation is oxygenated blood flowing from the heart to the body.

Question 20

what is systolic pressure?

Answer 20

systolic is used to measure blood pressure. measures the pressure in arteries when your heartbeats.

Question 21

what is diastolic pressure?

Answer 21

diastolic is used to measure blood pressure. measures the pressure in your arteries when your heart rests between beats.

Question 22

what is the vein that carries oxygenated blood in the body?

Answer 22

it is the pulmonary vein that carries oxygenated blood

Question 23

what would happen to the heart muscles if blood supply was cut off?

Answer 23

muscle cells of the heart begin to die and irreversible damage begins 30 minutes of blockage.
