| What is the Circulatory System | This is the system which has blood carry the substances to their destination. |
| What is it made up off? [Circulatory System | It is made up of the Heart, blood vessles and blood. |
| What is the Pulmonary system job? | This is the system that has blood carry deoxygenated blood to the lungs to gain oxygen which then returns back to the heart. |
| What is the other system job? | This is the system that carries the oxygenated blood to its destination. It then returns back to the heart. |
| Why is it good that we have a double system? | Blood pressure is increased which means the blood flow increases. This means blood can give its 'customer' its desiered products faster [Oxygen] Mamals need this to maintain their body temperature. |
| What does our Heart do exactly? | Our heart is the muscle of this operation. It keeps the blood flowing in the right direction due to its valves. [Thats also why you can hear your heart sometimes] |
| What happens in the heart? | So the heart is split in 4 main chambers. The Right Atrium, The Right Ventricle, The Left Atrium and The Left Ventricle. [Keep in mind, in a diagram the left of it is the right atrium, ventricle etc...]
The Blood flows into the atriums via the Pulmonary vein or the Vena Cava [also a vein] The atriums contract, pushing the blood into the ventricles.
The ventricles contract, forcing the blood to the Pulmonary artery or the Aorta.
This keeps repeating itself again and again... |
| What is the heart made up of? | It is made up fo cardiac muscle which contains alot of mitochondria for ATP [Energy] They also need oxygen which means a blood supply so that the heart can keep beating. The vessles that supply them are called the coronary arteries. |
| Why is the left ventricle thicker then the right? | Destination wise. The right side only needs to go to the lungs and back. The right needs to go to everywhere else. To the brain and the toes. |
| What are the valves called? | The Tricuspid Valve [The valve in the Right Atrium], The Bicuspid Valve [The valve the in Left Atrium] and the Semi Lunar Valve [The valve in the Artery] |
