Study Notes

Cardiovascular System

Functions:
- Deliver oxygen and nutrients to tissues.
- Remove waste products.
- Regulate blood pressure and flow.

Blood Flow

Systemic Circuit: Oxygenated blood flows to tissues; deoxygenated blood returns to the heart.
Pulmonary Circuit: Deoxygenated blood flows to lungs; oxygenated blood returns to the heart.

Anatomy of Heart and Vessels

Heart: Chambers (atria, ventricles), valves, myocardium, pericardium.
Vessels: Arteries, veins, capillaries.

Functions of Heart & Vessel Structures

Valves: Prevent backflow.
Arteries: Carry oxygenated blood (except pulmonary arteries).
Veins: Return deoxygenated blood (except pulmonary veins).
