Circulatory system review

PULMONARY SYSTEM:

The blood leaves the heart from the right ventricle, the blood is deoxygenated. The deoxygenated blood travels through the pulmonary artery to the lungs. Then the blood becomes oxygenated and returns to the heart from the pulmonary vein.

SYSTEMIC SYSTEM:

oxygenated blood leaves the heart from the left ventricle through the aorta to the rest of the body where systemic circulation happens, and deoxygenated blood is brought back up to the heart from veins

Arteries

-Takes blood from heart to the whole body.

-Has smaller lumen

-Has oxygenated blood

-Doesn't have valves

Veins
-Takes deoxygenated blood from body to the heart.
-Have larger lumen. Able to stretch more.
-Deoxygentated blood
-Has valves
