Blood first enters the heart from the vena cavea into the right atrium. The pumping action of the heart then moves the blood into the right ventricle. From the right ventricle the blood is pumped into the pulmonary arteries which lead to the lungs. The blood is oxygenated and returned to the heart from the pulmonary veins to the left atrium. The pumping of the heart then moves the blood into the left ventricle and with a very strong contraction sends the blood throughout the rest of the body through the aorta.

List the organs of the circulatory system?

The main organ of the circulatory system is the heart. Some consider the blood an organ as well, since it is basically liquid tissue. The third and final component of the circulatory system is the blood vessels - veins and arteries - that carry the blood throughout the body.


What organs move inside the chest?

chest organs make sure that you can breath and it also protects your heart. lungs are like bags when you breath in your lungs get filled with air ,but when you breath out it crambles up


What carries blood to your body?

Well, your arteries, if you want the short answer. Your heart pumps the blood that has been re-oxygenated by your lungs out through your aorta, which then splits into many different arteries that carry the oxygen-rich blood throughout your body. If you want the individual names of all the arteries, you can look those up elsewhere: there's just too many to list on here.


What carries oxygen to your blood?

List the structures of the circulatory system?

The structures of the circulatory system include the heart, blood vessels (arteries, veins, and capillaries), and blood. The heart pumps blood through the blood vessels to deliver oxygen and nutrients to cells and remove waste products. The blood vessels transport the blood to and from the heart, while capillaries allow for the exchange of substances between the blood and tissues.

What are the names of blood vessels that transport blood through the body?

It would take a very long time to list all the names. But, arteries carry blood away from the heart and veins bring it back to the heart. There are also very small vessels that connect the two together called capillaries which are found in the tissues.


List in order the types of blood vessels blood travels through as it goes from the heart to the body cells and back againWhat happens in the blood vessels near the body cells?

Well there are many sequences of blood vessels throughout the body, all connected. If you put all vessels together (veins, arteries, venules, arterioles, capillaries) in a single strand, you would have a long enough strand to reach twice around the earth! We'll start with the systemic circuit: and we'll start with the blood in the left side of the heart. Oxygenated blood from the lungs is brought to the heart by the pulmonary veins (keep in mind even though they are veins, they carry oxygenated blood, this is the only case a vein carries oxygenated blood in the body) and then ends up in the left atrium (left upper chamber of the heart), from here it is pumped into the left ventricle (bottom left chamber). This muscular part of the heart pumps out this oxygenated blood through the aorta now, which will be sent to various parts of the body via arteries. Oxygenated blood will travel through arteries, arterioles and finally capillaries where nutrients and wastes are exchanged by diffusion. Then blood travels through the very tiny capillaries where oxygen is given to cells and where cells give carbon dioxide back to the blood. This blood is now deoxygenated and ready to go back to the heart, so the blood now travels back to the heart by veins. The veins all collect in 2 common major veins called the superior and inferior vena cava which lead into the right atrium of the heart (upper right chamber), where blood is then pumped into the right ventricle (bottom right chamber) where it is then pumped through the pulmonary artery (carrying deoxygenated blood) to the lungs, and then the whole process takes place again with blood from the lungs back into the left atrium. Very simple actually! Blood takes usually 35-40 seconds to make a full circuit around the body.


List the structures in the order blood would meet them during its travel through the heart?

sup. vena cava, R. atrium, tricuspid valve, R. ventricle, pulmonary valve, pulmonary artreys, lungs, pulmonary veins, L. atrium, mitral valve, L. ventricle, aortic valve, aorta, brachiocephalic artery


List 5 organs that the frog and pig have in common and the function of these organs?

List three components of the circulatory system?

The circulatory system has numerous components, far more than three depending on how much detail you go into. The most basic split of the system into three is the Heart, the Systemic Circulation and the Pulmonary Circulation. The former is the well known pump that provides the force moving the blood around. The middle is the network of vessels usually thought of when the cardiovascular system is mentioned, i.e. the vessels that take oxygenated blood to the bodily tissues and return deoxygenated blood to the heart. And the latter is the circulation that takes deoxygenated blood to the Lungs and returns it to the heart to be pumped around the systemis circulation. If this is no the answer you seek please contact me to define the question.4 types : * Arteries * Capillaries * Veins * Anus


List in order the arteries as they leave the heart?

Since both sides of the heart contract at the same time, the right ventricle pumps blood into the pulmonary trunk, and the left ventricle pumps blood into the Aorta.
