| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| length | 14 cm |
| width | 9 cm |
| 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 |
