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 of the heart.
-
Inferior Vena Cava: Carries deoxygenated blood from the lower body to the right atrium of the heart.
-
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 pumps it to the left ventricle.
-
Right Ventricle: Pumps oxygen-poor blood to the lungs.
-
Left Ventricle: Pumps oxygen-rich blood to the rest of the body.
