  14. Body
• Superior Vena Cava


  • Carries blood from the head, neck, arms, and chest
• Inferior Vena Cava


  • Carries blood from the legs, feet, and organs in the abdomen and pelvis
• Blood will be received by Right Atrium
• Blood will pass through tricuspid valve and be pumped by right ventricle
• Blood will pass through pulmonary valve and exit pulmonary artery
• Blood will go to the lungs to get oxygen and become oxygenated
• Oxygenated blood will enter Pulmonary vein
• Oxygenated blood will be received by left atrium
• Oxygenated blood will pass through bicuspid valve and be pumped by left ventricle
• Oxygenated blood will pass through aortic valve and exit to the aorta
• Oxygenated blood will be delivered to the rest of the body
• Air first enters your lungs


  Then into the left part of your heart
• Blood is driven by your heart

  Into the bloodstream, all the way through your body
• Heart pumps blood


  Transports essential nutrients, oxygen and other chemicals to every cell in your body
• Oxygen processes the nutrients


  To release energy
• Carbon dioxide is given-off


  During the process
• Blood delivers carbon dioxide


  Into the right portion of the heart
• Blood is pumped from the right portion of the heart


  To the lungs
• Carbon dioxide leaves your body


  Through the lungs when you exhale
• The circulatory system functions with other body systems to deliver different materials in the body
• The circulatory system circulates vital elements such as oxygen and nutrients
• The circulatory system also transports wastes away from the body
• The pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood away from the heart to the lungs.
• Respiratory system


  Also known as the human breathing system, responsible for taking in oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide
• Parts of the respiratory system

  • Nose and mouth
  • Nasal cavity
  • Pharynx
  • Larynx
  • Trachea
  • Lungs
  • Bronchi
  • Bronchioles
  • Alveoli
• Nose and mouth


  Entrance of oxygen in our body
• Nasal cavity


  Passageway that warms, moistens, and cleans air
• Pharynx


  Throat
• Larynx


  Voice box
• Trachea


  Windpipe, passageway of air into the lungs
