Aorta
The largest arterial trunk that carries blood from the heart to be distributed by branch arteries through the body
a vessel that returns blood to the heart
a body structure that is temporarily closes a passage or orifice, or permits movement of fluid in only one direction.
An integrated group of cells with a common function, structure, or both
Aortic Valve
An anatomical cavity or passage especially a chamber of the heart that receives blood from the veins and forces it into a ventricle or ventricles
The smallest structural unit of living matter capable of functioning indecently.
The semilunar valve separating the aorta from the left ventricle that prevents blood from flowing back into the left ventricle.

Artery
A valve in the heart that guards the opening between the left atrium and the left ventricle; prevents the blood in the ventricle from returning to the atrium. Alternative name is bicuspid valve.
A vein that is the largest vein in the human body and returns blood to the right atrium of the heart from bodily parts below the diaphragm.
The body structure that temporarily closes a passage or orifice, or permits movement of fluid in only one direction.
Any of the tubular, branching, muscular, and elastic-walled vessels that carry blood from the heart through the body.
Atrium
The transport system of the body responsible for carrying oxygen and nutrients to the body and carrying away carbon dioxide and other wastes; composed of the heart, blood, vessels, and blood.
An anatomical cavity or passage; especially for carrying oxygen and nutrients to the body from the veins and forces it into a ventricle or ventricles.
The passage of venous blood from the right atrium of the heart through the right ventricle and pulmonary arteries to the lungs where it is oxygenated and its return via the pulmonary veins to enter the left atrium and participate in systemic circulation.
A valve that is situated at the opening of the right atrium of the heart into the right ventricle and that resembles the mitral valve in structure in structure but consists of 3 triangular membranous flaps.
Cardiovascular System
The passage of venous blood from the right atrium of the heart through the right ventricle and pulmonary arteries to the lungs where it is oxygenated and its return via the pulmonary veins to enter the left atrium and participate in systemic circulation.
The transport system of the body responsible for carrying oxygen and nutrients to the body and carrying away carbon dioxide and other wastes; composed of the heart, blood, vessels, and blood.
The branch of the circulatory system that supplies all body organs and then returns oxygen poor blood to the right atrium via the veins.
a vessel that returns blood to the heart
Cell
a vessel that returns blood to the heart
a body structure that temporarily closes a passage or orifice, or permits movement or permits movement of fluid in only one direction.
The smallest structural unit of living mater capable of functioning independently.
An integrated group of cells with a common function, structure, or both.
Inferior Vena Cava
A vein that is the largest vein in the human body and returns blood to the right atrium of the heart from bodily parts below the diaphragm.
A valve in the heart that guards the opening between the left atrium and the left ventricle; prevents the blood in the ventricle from returning to the atrium. Alternative name is bicuspid valve.

Mitral Valve
The semilunar valve separating the aorta from the left ventricle that prevents blood from flowing back into the left ventricle.

An anatomical cavity or passage especially a chamber of the heart that receives blood from the veins and forces it into a ventricle or ventricles
A valve in the heart that guards the opening between the left atrium and the left ventricle; prevents the blood in the ventricle from returning to the atrium. Alternative name is bicuspid valve.
Pulmonary Circulation
A valve that is situated at the opening of the right atrium of the heart into the right ventricle and that resembles the mitral valve in structure in structure but consists of 3 triangular membranous flaps.
a vessel that returns blood to the heart
The passage of venous blood from the right atrium of the heart through the right ventricle and pulmonary arteries to the lungs where it is oxygenated and its return via the pulmonary veins to enter the left atrium and participate in systemic circulation.
a body structure that is temporarily closes a passage or orifice, or permits movement of fluid in only one direction.
Superior Vena Cava
A vein that is the second largest vein in the human body and returns blood to the right atrium of the heart from the upper half of the body.
The transport system of the body responsible for carrying oxygen and nutrients to the body and carrying away carbon dioxide and other wastes; composed of the heart, blood, vessels, and blood.
The semilunar valve separating the aorta from the left ventricle that prevents blood from flowing back into the left ventricle.
An integrated group of cells with a common function, structure, or both.
Systemic Circulation
A vein that is the largest vein in the human body and returns blood to the right atrium of the heart from bodily parts below the diaphragm.
A valve in the heart that guards the opening between the left atrium and the left ventricle; prevents the blood in the ventricle from returning to the atrium. Alternative name is bicuspid valve.
The branch of the circulatory system that supplies all body organs and then returns oxygen poor blood to the right atrium via the veins.
