The Heart and Circulatory System
Humans have a double, closed circulatory pathway. This means that the blood is enclosed in
vessels and goes two ways throughout the heart.

The circulatory system is divided into 2 parts:
-​ Pulmonary circulatory system: carries blood from lungs to heart and back
-​ Systemic circulatory system: carries blood from heart to body/organs and back

The heart is divided into 2 distinct sections:
-​ Deoxygenated (low-oxygen) partition
-​ Oxygenated partition

Arteries
-​ Arteries carry blood away from the heart
-​ Oxygen rich
-​ Blood in arteries are a lighter red due to the oxygen amount
-​ Cell walls are 3 layers thick
Tip! : Think “A” for Away from heart




Veins
-​ Veins carry blood to the heart
-​ Oxygen poor / deoxygenated
-​ Blood in veins are a deeper red due to lack of oxygen
-​ Walls are thin but are also 3 layers thick
