| the pulmonary artery carries blood that is |
deoxygenated |
| sytemic circuit is |
oxygenated |
| The pulmonary veins are an exception for veins, since |
they come from the lung area: pick, and it returns oxygenated blood back to the systemic circuit |
| 2 structures that bring de-oxygenated blood back to the heart, |
inferior and superior vena cava |
| 2 structures that bring blood away from heart--systemic circuit |
ascending aorta, and descending aorta from the aortic trunk |
| another name for descending aorta |
abdominal aorta |
| Location of vena cavas--2 main structures that bring blood to the heart |
superior: above heart and inferior: below heart |
| 2 main structures that bring blood away from the heart |
ascending aorta and descending aorta: also called abdominal aorta |
| pulminary artery: O2 or no o2 |
no o2 |
| pulmonary vein: o2 or no o2 |
o2 |
| aorta: o2 or no o2 |
o2 |
| veina cava |
right atrium: deoxynated blood returns |
| aorta |
left ventricle, blood leaves heart: brings o2 blood to the rest of the body |
| pulmonary vein |
blood enters the left atrium, blood returns oxygenated |
| pulmonary artery |
Blood is leaving the Right Ventricle: also called pulmonary trunk empties to R and L pulmonary arteries: no oxygen: blood leaves heart to lungs |
| both vena cavas feed into the |
right atrium |
| aorta |
left ventricle: blood leaves this area |
| 2 structures that bring oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart: left atrium |
right and left pulmonary veins: to left atrium |
