Blood Vessels
In I/GCSE biology,
Artery - carries blood AWAY from the blood.
Vein - carries blood TO the heart
Physical System
In I/GCSE biology curriculum, there are some key points:
- Liver - Produces a large amount of body heat.
- Hepatic-Portal Vein - Carries blood with lots of glucose.
- Renal Vein - Blood that is low in urea from the kidneys to the heart
- Brain - Responsible for memory
- Vena Cava - Carries deoxygenated blood to the heart
- Hepatic Artery - Carries blood to the liver from the heart
- Aorta - Main artery of the body
- Pulmonary Vein - Carries oxygenated blood from the lungs back to the heart
- Lungs - Responsible for lungs.
- Heart - Pumps blood around the body
- Renal Artery - carries blood to the kidney from the heart.
- Hepatic Vein - Carries blood from the liver to the heart
- Pulmonary Artery - Carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs
- Reproductive Organs - Contains eggs and sperm.
- Small Intestine - Absorbs food into the kidneys
- Kidneys - Produces urine.
Heart
- Pulmonary Artery - Carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs
- Right Ventricle - Pumps blood to the lungs
- Heart Strings - Stops the valves from turning inside- out
- Vena Cava - Carries deoxygenated blood into the heart from the body
- Left Atrium - Pumps oxygenated blood into the Left Ventricle
- Right Atrium - Pumps deoxygenated blood into the Right Ventricle.
- Pulmonary Vein - Carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart
- Cardiac Muscle - Special muscle that never stops beating
- Coronary Artery - Provide the cardiac muscle with oxygen and glucose
- Semi-lunar Valves - Stops the blood flowing back into the ventricles.
- Atria-Ventricular Valves - Stops the blood flowing back into the Atria.
- Aorta - Carries oxygenated blood around the body
- Left Ventricle - the largest of the 4 chambers in the heart.
