◉circulatory system . Answer: Another name for the cardiovascular
system
◉deoxygenated . Answer: Without oxygen. After blood has unloaded its
oxygen load in the tissues, it gets transported back to the heart and then
to the lungs to pick up oxygen.
Blood carrying little or no oxygen
◉oxygen . Answer: Essential for tissues to live and function.
, ◉oxygenated . Answer: With oxygen. After circulating in the lungs, the

◉pulmonary circulation . Answer: One of the two parts of the
cardiovascular system, the other being the systemic circulation.
Blood flow through a network of vessels between the heart and the lungs
for the oxygenation of blood and the removal of carbon dioxide.
◉systemic circulation . Answer: The branch of the circulatory system
that supplies all body organs and then returns oxygen-poor blood to the
right atrium via the veins.
◉veins . Answer: Blood vessels that carry blood back to the heart
Carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart from the tissues
◉carbon dioxide . Answer: Our blood transports oxygen from the lungs
to the cells and returns with this as a byproduct of metabolism
◉apex . Answer: the tip of the heart
◉cardiac muscle . Answer: Striated muscle fibers (cells) that form the
