Match the following parts of the cardiovascular system with their functions:
Heart = Acts as a pump, propelling oxygenated blood to the body's tissues and receiving deoxygenated blood from them Arteries = Carry oxygenated blood away from the heart Veins = Transport deoxygenated blood back to the heart Capillaries = Allow for the exchange of nutrients, gases, and waste products between the blood and surrounding tissues
Match the following processes of the cardiovascular system with their descriptions:
Systemic Circulation = Oxygen-rich blood is pumped from the heart to the body's organs and tissues Pulmonary Circulation = Deoxygenated blood from the body is transported to the lungs where it releases carbon dioxide and picks up oxygen
