Structure and function of cardiovascular system
1. Blood
2. Blood Vessels
3. The Heart
Oxygen transported to muscle
Transport nutrients around the body
Blood helps to repair
Gaseous exchange
Aorta
Superior
Vena Cava Pulmonary artery
Pulmonary vein Left atrium
Right atrium
Bicuspid valve
Left ventricle
Tricuspid
valve
Aortic valve
Inferior Vena
Cavae
Septum
Right
ventricle
Cardiovascular system functions:
Vena cava (superior and inferior) are the largest veins in the body and carry
deoxygenated blood from all over the body to the right atrium of the heart.
Pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs.
It is only artery in the body that carries deoxygenated blood; all the other
arteries carry oxygenated blood.
Tricuspid valve prevents blood flowing backwards.
Aorta delivers oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body.
