Document Summary

The cardiovascular system consists of the heart, blood, and blood vessels i. ii. iii. iv. v. vi. vii. Beginning with the left ventricle, blood is pumped through the aorta. From the aorta branch many smaller arteries which themselves branch into smaller arterioles, which branch into smaller capillaries. Blood from the capillaries is collected into venules, which themselves collect into larger veins, which collect again into the superior and inferior vena cava. The vena cava empties into the right atrium. From the right atrium, blood is squeezed into the right ventricle. The right ventricle pumps blood through the pulmonary arteries, to arterioles, to the capillaries of the lungs. From the capillaries of the lungs, blood collects in venules, then in veins, and finally in the pulmonary veins leading to the heart. The pulmonary veins empty into the left atrium, which fills the left ventricle viii.
