Circulation Note Review


We've been studying the circulatory system!
  • helps exchange materials
  • internal transport
  • cell diffusion
  • O2 from lungs-->blood-->tissue
  • CO2 from tissue-->blood-->lungs

There are two types of circulatory systems, single loops and double loop



We have a double circulatory system. The path of blood goes as follows:

1. Right Ventricle ---> Lungs (pulmonary semi-lunar valve)
2. Pulmonary Arteries
3. Capillaries (O2 diffuses into tissue, CO2 diffuses out)
4. Pulmonary Veins
5. Left Atrium (bicuspid valve)
6. Left Ventricle
7. Aorta
8. Capillaries (O2 diffuses into tissue, CO2 diffuses out)
9. Superior and Inferior vena cava (superior on top)
10. Right Atrium (tricuspid valve)






DON'T FORGET TO DO YOUR MOODLE NOTES FOR NEXT CLASS

  1. You did a good job of laying out the order of parts in the circulatory system. It would be nice if there was a little more detail, but I know there wasn't much to write about this class.

  2. I agree with Danny on this on,e but the ordering of the blood flow really helped me study.
