Anatomy of the Heart and Blood Vessels
- The heart has different parts, including the right atrium, left atrium, right ventricle, and left ventricle.
- Each part of the heart has a specific function in the cardiovascular system.
- The right ventricle pumps oxygen-depleted blood to the lungs, while the left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood to the body.
Functions of the Cardiovascular System
- The cardiovascular system transports oxygen and nutrients to the body's cells.
- It also removes waste products and carbon dioxide from the body's cells.
Cardiovascular Diseases
- Coronary artery disease is a common cardiovascular disease that can cause chest pain.
- Heart failure is a condition that can cause swelling in the legs and shortness of breath.
- Hypertension, stroke, and varicose veins are also common cardiovascular diseases.
