-Major organ of this system -Made of cardiac tissue -Causes blood to flow through the body by it’s pumping action. -Made of cardiac muscle -4 Chambers a) 2 upper and 2 lower -Blood flows in one direction a) From atrium to ventricle to a blood The heart
-Carry blood that has oxygen and nutrients to all parts of the body. -Carry blood away from the heart. Arteries
Carry waste products from all parts back to the heart. Veins
-Very small vessels where oxygen and nutrients leave the blood and go into the cells and carbon dioxide and other waste products enter the blood from the cells. Capillaries
