🗑
The two small, thin walled upper chambers of the heart; the right and left are separated by a thin interatrial septum.   Atriums  
🗑
The two large, lower chambers of the heart; they are thick-walled and are separated by a thick interventricular septum.   Ventricles  
🗑
A blood vessel that transports oxygenated blood from the heart to the body or deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs.   Artery  
🗑
One of the three great blood vessels of the heart. It's the artery that carries oxygen and nutrients away from the heart to the body.   Aorta  
🗑
One of the three great blood vessels, it's the artery that carries blood to the lungs to release carbon dioxide and take in oxygen.   Pumonary Trunk  
🗑
One of the three great blood vessels of the heart, it's the vein that returns poorly oxygenated blood to the right atrium from the upper venous circulation.   Superior Vena Cava  
🗑
A major blood vessel: A vein that returns oxygen poor blood from the lower venous circulation to the right atrium.   Inferior Vena Cava  
🗑
A major blood vessel: Four veins that take oxygen-rich blood to the left atrium.   Pulmonary Vein  
🗑
Arteries that supply oxygenated blood to the heart muscle.   Coronary Arteries.

🗑
The type of immunity response that involves particular responses to each foreign substance identified.   Specific Immunity  
🗑
