Document Summary

In closed circulatory systems, the series of vessels are all connected. Blood flows from the heart to arteries to capillaries to veins back to the heart again. In an open circulatory system, haemolymph is pumped from the heart, dumped into the body cavity or sinuses in the tissues, picked up by veins and returned to the heart. The human/mammalian heart consists of two ventricles (left and right) and two atria (left and right). Blood leaves the left ventricle through the aorta (blood out). Blood leaves the right ventricle through the pulmonary arteries (blood out). Blood enters the right ventricle through the superior and inferior vena cava (blood in). Blood enters the left ventricle through the pulmonary veins (blood in). There are valves that separated the atria and the ventricles. There are semilunar valves that separate the ventricles from the aorta and the pulmonary artery. Deoxygenated blood superior and inferior vena cava right atria right ventricle .
