AHS 100 Chapter 9: The Cardiovascular System- Cardiology
❏The cardiovascular system is the body’s transport system that
provides nourishment, cleanup services, and communication. There
are two parts to this system: the cardio(heart) and the
vascular(blood vessels). The heart is the pump that squeezes blood
out to the body, and the vessels are the tubes that carry the blood.
Together they transport all manner of essential nutrients, blood
cells, and chemical signals. They also work together to help rid the
body of waste.
❏9.1 Word Parts of the Cardiovascular System
❏Heart: the heart is the workhouse of the critical transport
system. It constantly pumps, getting blood to all the places it
needs to go. Heart is divided into four chambers: the left and
right receiving rooms(atria) and left and right sending
rooms(ventricles). Left side of the heart handles oxygen- rich
blood and the right side handled the oxygen- poor blood. A
thick wall of muscle, the septum, divides the left and right sides
❏Blood constantly cycles between the body and the heart and
collects in the atria. Blood that has nourished the body and is
ready to go to the lungs for more oxygen collects in the right
atrium. After getting a fresh supply of oxygen, blood returns to
the heart via the left atrium. From the atria, blood on both
sides, passes through the one- way doors of the valves into the
ventricles.
❏In a normal heart, there is no blood flow between the left and
right side. There are connections between the atria and
ventricles, and between the ventricles and the blood vessels.
The connection between each atrium and ventricle is a valve
that allows blood to flow in one direction. The mitral valve
connects the left atrium and ventricle. The aortic valve
connects the left ventricle to the outgoing blood vessel, the
aorta. On the right side, the connector between the atrium and
ventricle is the tricuspid valve. The pulmonary valve connects
the right ventricle and the outgoing blood vessel, the
pulmonary artery.
