Document Summary

Ensures oxygen and nutrients are delivered to all of the cells in the body. Blood vessels = fuel line and transportation network. Arteries: thick walled vessel, lead away from the heart, smaller branches = arterioles. Veins: thinner walled vessels, lead toward the heart, smaller branches = venules. Capillaries: smallest vessels, only point of exchange for oxygen and nutrients into body cells and waste products coming from body cells. Aorta: gk: a strap to hang; what is hung up (to lift, raise) Radial: l shaft, rod, beam of light. Arterial pulse = expansion and contraction of an artery. Dual pump: right side pumps to lung, left side pumps to body. Interatrial septum: separates right and left atria. Interventricular septum: muscular wall that lies between the ventricles. Tricuspid valve ( cusps = flaps of the valves): between right atrium and right ventricle. Pulmonary valve: between right ventricle and pulmonary artery. Mitral valve: between left atrium and the left ventricle (l: headband, turban)
