Circulatory System Study Guide with Complete Solutions
right atria* - ANS -right side of top of heart (from's pig's perspective) - receives
deoxygenated blood and pumps it to right ventricle



right ventricle* - ANS -right side of bottom of heart (from's pig's perspective) - pumps
deoxygenated blood from heart to lungs



aorta/abdominal aorta* - ANS -blood vessel behind the heart - carries oxygenated
blood from heart to rest of body



ductus arteriosus* - ANS -connects the pulmonary trunk to the aorta - in a fetus,
allows blood to get to aorta without passing by underdeveloped lungs



pulmonary trunk* - ANS -white sack on top of heart - carries deoxygenated blood
from heart (right ventricle) to lungs



coronary artery* - ANS -separates ventricles and atria - sends blood/oxygen to heart
muscle



renal artery* - ANS -pink artery/line coming out from behind the kidney - carries
blood from heart to kidney



umbilical arteries* - ANS -arteries on either side of urinary bladder - carries
deoxygenated blood from fetus to placenta



lungs* - ANS -located on either side of head - gas exchange
