Blood Flow Through Heart Flashcards

What returns deoxygenated blood from the body to the heart?

What chamber of the heart receives deoxygenated blood from the vena cava?

Deoxygenated blood from the right atrium goes to which part of the heart?

Deoxygenated blood from the ventricle goes to which artery?

After the pulmonary arteries, where does the blood go to pick up oxygen?

What carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart?

After the pulmonary veins, which chamber receives oxygen-rich blood?

Oxygenated blood goes to which ventricle from the left atrium?

Where does oxygenated blood go from the left ventricle?

Oxygenated blood from the aorta goes where?

Superior and Inferior Vena Cava: Major veins returning deoxygenated blood from the body to the heart.
Right Atrium: Receives deoxygenated blood from both the superior and inferior vena cava.
Right Ventricle: Pumps deoxygenated blood received from the right atrium into the pulmonary artery.
Pulmonary Artery: Transports deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs for oxygenation.
Lungs: Blood travels to the left and right lungs via the pulmonary arteries to pick up oxygen.
Pulmonary Veins: Carry oxygenated blood from the lungs back to the heart.
Left Atrium: Receives oxygen-rich blood from the pulmonary veins.
Left Ventricle: Accepts oxygenated blood from the left atrium and pumps it into the aorta.
Aorta: The largest artery in the body, distributes oxygenated blood from the left ventricle to the entire body.
Body: Receives oxygenated blood from the aorta to supply tissues and organs with necessary oxygen.
