Heart- pumping mechanism; double pump (two pumps siing next to eachother) Blood vessels- distribuion pathway of blood through the body. Blood- transport medium; nutrients and oxygen, waste products (co2) and hormones are transported. Transportaion: nutrients and oxygen, waste products, hormones. Let atrium (receiving chamber)- receives oxygenated blood; coming back from the lungs. Let ventricle (discharging chambers)- discharges oxygenated blood into the systemic circuit; out to all the body cells (drop of oxygen and pick up carbon dioxide) Right ventricle- discharges deoxygenated blood into the pulmonary circuit. Types of blood vessels- distribuion pathways in the body; as you leave the heart the pressure is very strong and then as you get farther away from the heart, the pressure gets less.
