Document Summary

Circulatory system is a closed system that consists of 3 components: The heart can be divided into right and left halves: Right half consists of a right atrium and right ventricle, which are separated by the tricuspid valve. Left half consists of a left atrium and left ventricle, which are separated by the mitral valve. (fig 5. 1 in textbook) Deoxygenated blood enters the right atrium of the heart via the superior vena cava and the inferior vena cava. Right atrial contraction: blood flows from the right atrium through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle. Right ventricle contraction: pumps deoxygenated blood into the lungs. Right side of the heart is known as the pulmonary side of the heart. At the lungs, blood undergoes gas exchange. Oxygenated blood it passes to the left atrium. Left atrial contraction: blood flows to the left ventricle through the mitral valve.
