Term | Definition |
lymphatic vessels | fight infections and pick up debris |
lymph nodes | where virus/ bacteria is broken down |
pulmonary circulation | blood moves from right side of heart to lungs |
systemic circulation | blood moves from left side of heart to body |
apex | tip of heart where blood vessels meet |
Ateries | carry oxygenated blood, nutrients, and hormones |
veins | carry deoxygenated blood, and waste to heart |
capillaries | smallest blood vessels. connect arteries to veins. where gas exchange happens |
septum | separates right of heart from left of heart |
left of heart | has oxygenated blood |
right of heart | has deoxygenated blood |
atriums | have less muscle mass. smaller than ventricles |
ventricles | more muscle mass than atriums |
one way valves | separate atriums from ventricles |
tricuspid valve | valve on right of heart |
mitral valve | valve on left of heart |
cholesterol | can form plaque that might block arteries and kill the tissue |
venacava | largest vein in body. before right atrium |
right atrium | after venacava, before tricuspid valve |
tricuspid valve | after right atrium, before right ventricle |
right ventricle | after tricuspid valve, before pulmonary artery |
pulmonary artery | after right ventricle, before lung |
lung | after pulmonary artery, before alveoli |
alveoli | look like grapes. gas exchange. oxygenate blood. after lung, before pulmonary vein |
pulmonary vein | only vein that carries oxygenated blood. after alveoli, before left atrium |
left atrium | after pulmonary vein, before mitral valve |
mitral valve | after left atrium, before left ventricle |
left ventricle | largest chamber in the heart. after mitral valve, before aorta |
aorta | largest vessel. after left ventricle, before arteries |
arteries | after aorta, before arterioles |
arterioles | after arteries, before capilaries |
capillaries | gas exchange. deoxygenates blood. after arterioles, before venules |
venules | smallest veins. after capillaries, before veins |
veins | after venules, before going back to venacava |
lymphatic vessels | fight infections and pick up debris |
lymph nodes | where virus/ bacteria is broken down |
pilminary circulation | blood moves from right side of heart to lungs |
systemic circulation | blood moves from left side of heart to body |
apex | tip of heart where blood vessels meet |
Ateries | carry oxygenated blood, nutrients, and hormones |
veins | carry deoxygenated blood, and waste to heart |

septum | separates right of heart from left of heart |
left of heart | left of heart |
right of heart | has deoxygenated blood |
