Study Notes
Cardiovascular System
- Aorta: Transports oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the rest of the body.
- Superior Vena Cava: Carries deoxygenated blood from the upper body to the right atrium.
- Inferior Vena Cava: Carries deoxygenated blood from the lower body to the right atrium.
- Pulmonary Artery: Carries blood from the heart to the lungs.
- Pulmonary Vein: Carries oxygen-rich blood from the lungs to the heart.
- Right Atrium: Receives oxygen-poor blood from the body and pumps it to the right ventricle.
- Left Atrium: Receives oxygen-rich blood from the lungs and empties it into the left ventricle.
- Right Ventricle: Pumps blood low in oxygen to the lungs.
- Left Ventricle: Pumps oxygenated blood to the body.
