23.

Cardiovascular System

a)

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.

b)

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.

c)

The branch of the circulatory system that supplies all body organs and then returns oxygen poor blood to the right atrium via the veins.

d)

a vessel that returns blood to the heart

24.

Systemic Circulation

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.

c)

The branch of the circulatory system that supplies all body organs and then returns oxygen poor blood to the right atrium via the veins.
