  • What is systemic circulatory system
    Blood circulation around the body
  • What is the vena cava?
    large vein carrying deoxygenated blood into the right atrium
  • What is the aorta?
    large aretery carrying oxygenated blood from the left ventricle
  • What is ventilation?
    Breathing in and out
