from the tissues of the body.
What are the three types of blood vessels? ✔️Arteries, veins, and capillaries
Veins ✔️Blood vessels that carry blood back to the heart, thin walled vessels
Superior and Inferior vena cava ✔️Two major veins carrying blood back to the heart; inferior v.c. carries
blood from the lower body (legs & pelvis); superior carries blood from the head, arms, and upper body.
Inferior vena cava ✔️Carries blood from the lower body, legs and pelvis to the heart
Superior vena cava ✔️Carries blood from the head, arms and upper body to the heart
Arteries ✔️Carries blood away from the heart to other parts of the body, thick walled vessels, they
have a pulse.
Aorta ✔️The biggest, fattest artery of the body. It carries oxygen rich blood from the left ventricle of
the heart to the body.
What is the structure of the heart? ✔️Each side of the heart has two chambers, an upper and lower.
The two upper are each called atria and receive blood going into the heart. The two lower chambers are
called ventricles which pump blood out of the heart.
