Document Summary
If the body wishes to conserve heat, the core vessels of the body will dilate, directing blood flow. If the body wishes to relieve heat, the skin vessels of the body will dilate, directing blood flow. There is a constant exchange of fluid between blood plasma and interstitial fluid. The heart is encased in a double layered membrane termed the pericardial sac: Both layers contain a serous, but only the outer contains a fibrous. Endocardium-epithelial layer lining the four chambers of the heart and vessels bringing blood away from the heart (arteries) and vessels that bring blood towards the heart (veins) Structure: four chambers (right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium, left ventricle) Circulation: venous blood brought to the right atrium through the cava. Associated with the coronary sinus (posterior surface for blood collection) Associated with the atrial septum (with a depression termed fossa ovale) Associated with the right atrioventricular (tricuspid) (ventricle/atrium opening)
