length | 14 cm |
width | 9 cm |
the pulmonary artery carries blood that is | deoxygenated |
sytemic circuit is | oxygenated |
The pulmonary veins are an exception for veins, since | they come from the lung area: pick, and it returns oxygenated blood back to the systemic circuit |
2 structures that bring de-oxygenated blood back to the heart, | inferior and superior vena cava |
2 structures that bring blood away from heart--systemic circuit | ascending aorta, and descending aorta from the aortic trunk |
another name for descending aorta | abdominal aorta |
Location of vena cavas--2 main structures that bring blood to the heart | superior: above heart and inferior: below heart |
2 main structures that bring blood away from the heart | ascending aorta and descending aorta: also called abdominal aorta |
pulminary artery: O2 or no o2 | no o2 |
pulmonary vein: o2 or no o2 | o2 |
aorta: o2 or no o2 | o2 |
veina cava | right atrium: deoxynated blood returns |
aorta | left ventricle, blood leaves heart: brings o2 blood to the rest of the body |
pulmonary vein | blood enters the left atrium, blood returns oxygenated |
pulmonary artery | Blood is leaving the Right Ventricle: also called pulmonary trunk empties to R and L pulmonary arteries: no oxygen: blood leaves heart to lungs |
both vena cavas feed into the | right atrium |
aorta | left ventricle: blood leaves this area |
2 structures that bring oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart: left atrium | right and left pulmonary veins: to left atrium |
