    Cards (7)

    • Arteriesโ€จ
      Carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the rest of the body, thick walls to withstand pressure
    • Veinsโ€จ
      Carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart, thin walls, less pressure than arteries
    • Capillariesโ€จ
      Tiny vessels for exchange of oxygen, nutrients, and waste between blood and tissues, thin walls for diffusion
    • Right Atriumโ€จ
      Receives deoxygenated blood from the body through the superior and inferior vena cavae, blood flows into the Right Ventricle through the Tricuspid Valve
    • Right Ventricle
      Pumps deoxygenated blood from the Right Atrium to the Lungs through the Pulmonary Artery, thick muscular walls for powerful contractions
    • Left Atriumโ€จ
      Receives oxygenated blood from the Lungs through the Pulmonary Veins, blood flows into the Left Ventricle through the Mitral Valve, thin walls due to less pressure
    • Left Ventricleโ€จ
      Pumps oxygenated blood from the Left Atrium to the Body through the Aorta, thickest muscular walls for powerful contractions, serves as main pump for circulation
