Liquid portion of blood
Blood Vessels (Vasculature)
Vessels transporting blood away from heart:
Arteries (big)
Arterioles (small)
Capillaries (smallest)
Vessels transporting blood to heart:
o Venules (small)
o Veins (big)
Heart
Four chambers: left and right atria, left and right ventricles
Two separate pumps next to each other (separated by septum)
Left heart (left atrium and left ventricle):
Supplies blood to systemic circuit (body)
Right heart (right atrium and right ventricle)
Supplies blood to pulmonary circuit (lungs)

Anatomy of the heart
PDA: Patent Ductus Arteriosus
Ductus Arteriosus is a duct that connects the aorta and the pulmonary artery
in embryonic development. Normally closes shortly after birth.
Patent means open. )n some individuals, this duct never closes, resulting
in mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood. Fairly common in
premature babies.
Leads to shortness of breath and stunted growth and can lead to congestive
heart failure later in life.
