Heart and Circulation
  1. Important blood vessels in the heart
    1. Vena cava
      1. carries deoxygenated blood
        1. from the body tissues to the heart
        2. Pulmonary artery
          1. carries deoxygenated blood
            1. from the heart to the lungs
            2. Aorta
              1. carries oxygenated blood
                1. from the heart to the body tissues
                2. Pulmonary vein
                  1. carries oxygenated blood
                    1. from lungs to the heart
                  2. Circulation Path
                    1. 1).Deoxygenated blood enters the vena cava
                      1. 2).This blood enters the right atrium, which then proceeds to enter the right ventricle
                        1. 3).This then exits the heart through the pulmonary artery, to travel to the lungs
                          1. 4).The blood re-enters the heart through the pulmonary vein
                            1. 5).Then, the blood enters the left atrium, which then fills up the left ventricle
                              1. 6).After that, the blood exits through the aorta, to give blood to the rest of the body
                    2. Types of blood vessels
                      1. Capillaries
                        1. smallest vessel you have
                          1. high pressure blood flow
                            1. carries blood away from the heart
                            2. Veins
                              1. small, thin walls and less muscle
                                1. large amount of blood
                                  1. low pressure blood flow
                                    1. valves to prevent backflow
                                    2. Arteries
                                      1. thick walls and muscle
                                        1. carries blood away from the heart
                                          1. high pressure blood flow
