    Study Notes

    Heart Function and Circulatory System

    • The left ventricle pumps oxygen-rich blood into the systemic circulation.
    • Systemic circulation delivers oxygen and nutrients to tissues, allowing for cellular respiration and metabolism.
    • Arteries, specifically the aorta, carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body's organs and tissues.

    Capillary Exchange

    • The exchange of oxygen, nutrients, and waste products occurs in capillaries, the smallest blood vessels that connect arteries and veins.
    • Capillaries facilitate the transfer of substances between the bloodstream and individual cells through their thin walls.

    Deoxygenated Blood Management

    • Deoxygenated blood, along with waste products, is collected by veins and transported back to the heart.
    • Once at the heart, deoxygenated blood is sent to the lungs for oxygenation in the pulmonary circulation.
