Cardiovascular System Functions: Deliver oxygen and nutrients to tissues. Remove waste products. Regulate blood pressure and flow. Blood Flow Through the System: Systemic Circuit: Oxygenated blood to tissues, deoxygenated blood returns to heart. Pulmonary Circuit: Deoxygenated blood to lungs, oxygenated blood returns to heart. Anatomy of Heart & 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).
