cardiovascular system
-ALSO called the circulatory system
-made up of the heart, blood vessels, the blood, and lymphatic system.
-waste removal, nutrient distribution, communication, protection.
heart
-composed of cardiac muscle tissue
-4 muscular chambers of heart: right and left atria and the right and left ventricles
-regulates blood flow through a double-loop system, pumping oxygenated blood to body tissue
and deoxygenated blood to the lungs
, atria
-2 of them; left and right
-chambers of the heart that receive blood returning to the heart from other areas of the body
ventricles
-chambers of the heart that collect and expel blood from the heart
-2 of them; left and right
atrioventricular valves
valves that separate the atria and ventricles in the heart
tricuspid valve
separates the right atrium and right ventricle
mitral valve (bicuspid)
-ALSO called bicuspid
-separates left atrium and left ventricle
types of blood vessels
