Receives oxygen (o2) poor blood from body and sends to lungs to get o2. Receives o2-rich blood from lungs and sends out to body. Is the part of the system where we send blood to the lungs and it comes back to the heart. Is the part that goes from the heart out to all the cells in the body and back to the heart. Area in the centre of your thorax. Layers of fibre that protect the heart. Serous is an oily fluid; the cells in that area secrete serous. Each time the heart beats is a contraction. Makes the heart go a little smaller then a little bigger. Both bring blood to the right atrium. The tricuspid valve (or right atrioventricular valve) Blood always has to go through a valve when it is leaving a heart chamber. Pulmonary valve opens, releasing blood from right ventricle. Blood moves through pulmonary arteries to the lungs.
