Document Summary

Enter through vena cava (either inferior or superior) Goes into right atrium (receives blood from systemic circulation) (systemic= throughout the whole body) (pulmonary = circulation involving lungs); bigger of two atriums. Then out through pulmonary artery (artery takes blood away; returns via veins) Then to left atrium (blood guided to where its needed most) Into aorta and aortic arch (chemoreceptors that regulate breathing because of sensing oxygen levels and co2 levels) Different paths go to different parts of the body. Level of contraction in arterial vesicles is being determined by baroreceptors. Norepinephrine released to help maintain blood pressure. Vasodilators: bradykinin, prostaglandus, adenosine, k+ and co2 (any active muscle potassium comes out and co2 produced, where metabolically active it needs more oxygen) 70% of blood volume is on vein side because they"re elastic. Arterioles have much more muscle mass; veins have some smooth muscle but very elastic, carry higher velocity of blood straight from heart.
