Human Heart and Circulatory System

The video explains the circulatory system, focusing on the heart's role in pumping blood. It describes how blood travels through the heart, lungs, and body, delivering oxygen and nutrients while removing waste. The heart's chambers and valves work in harmony to maintain this cycle, with the familiar heartbeat sound resulting from valve operations.

What separates the right and left sides of the heart?

• Mitral valve

• Septum

• Pulmonary valve

• Aorta

Through which vessels does blood travel to the lungs?

• Pulmonary veins

• Aorta

• Pulmonary arteries

• Superior vena cava

What happens to blood cells in the lungs?

• They produce nutrients

• They pick up carbon dioxide

• They release oxygen

• They are cleaned of CO2 and filled with oxygen

Which valve does blood pass through to enter the left ventricle?

• Tricuspid valve

• Mitral valve

• Pulmonary valve
