What is the function of valves in the heart?
Regulate the direction of blood flow
Pump blood through the heart
Supply oxygen to the blood
Store blood temporarily
Fill in the blank: Blood enters the Right Atrium through the ________.
Vena Cava
Pulmonary Veins
Aortic Arch

The digestive system breaks down food and absorbs nutrients, which are then transported by the circulatory system to body cells.
The digestive system breaks down food and absorbs nutrients, which are then transported by the circulatory system to body cells.
The circulatory system directly digests food before transporting it.
The digestive system stores nutrients while the circulatory system breaks them down.
