Front

What are the three types of blood vessels in the body?

Back

The three types of blood vessels are arteries, veins, and capillaries.

Front

How does the circulatory system interact with the digestive system?

Back

The circulatory system works with the digestive system to transport nutrients absorbed from food to cells throughout the body.

Front

What is the function of the lungs in the circulatory system?

Back

The lungs are responsible for oxygenating deoxygenated blood and removing carbon dioxide from the blood.

Front

What is the role of arteries in the circulatory system?

Back

Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the tissues of the body.

Front

What is the role of veins in the circulatory system?

Back

Veins carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart from the tissues of the body.

Front

What is the function of capillaries in the circulatory system?

Back

Capillaries are small blood vessels where the exchange of oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, and waste occurs between blood and tissues.

Front

What is the significance of the heart's chambers?

Back

The heart's chambers (two atria and two ventricles) allow for the separation of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood, ensuring efficient circulation.

Front

What is the pathway of blood flow through the heart?

Back

Blood flows from the body into the right atrium, then to the right ventricle, to the lungs for oxygenation, back to the left atrium, and then to the left ventricle before being pumped to the body.

Front

What is the role of the septum in the heart?

Back

The septum is a wall that separates the left and right sides of the heart, preventing the mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood.
