Circulatory System

Circulatory System

1. Right atrium

   • from the right atrium the blood pumps to the tricuspid valve

2. Tricuspid Valve

   • prevents blood from going backwards and go in one direction

3. Right Ventricle

   • blood pumps upward to the pulmonary valve

4. Pulmonary Valve

5. Pulmonary Arteries

   • the deoxygenated blood goes to the lungs and becomes oxygenated in the capillaries where the transfer of gases takes place

6. Lungs (capillaries)

7. Pulmonary Veins

8. Left atrium

   • Bicuspid Valve
     • Left Ventricle
       • Aortic Valve
       • blood pumps upward to the aortic valve
     • same function as tricuspid valve

9. Aorta

   • the blood will then be distributed throughout the body through the capillaries

10. Body Parts (capillaries)

11. upper limb (Superior Vena Cava)

    • lower limb (Inferior Vena Cava)

12. *process repeats*
