Document Summary
Review questions for ansc*3080 midterm (cardiovascular system: the heart can be described as 2 separate pumps. There is the right atria which receives deoxygenated blood from the rest of the body. This blood then goes through the right ventricle which pumps the deoxygenated blood to the lungs in order for it to be oxygenated. Oxygenated blood returns to the heart via the pulmonary veins into the left atria. Blood then goes through the bicuspid valve into the left ventricle where it is pumped out through the aortic sl valve to the rest of the body: list the major function of the cardiovascular system. Major function is the transport of nutrients and gasses to tissues and waste away from tissues. Av valves: valves work in a passive action they do not require energy action is based on pressure. During ventricular relaxation there is low pressure compared to the atria av valves are open.
