Oxygenated and Deoxygenated blood
• When the blood leaves the lungs it is

• The blood then visits the muscles in the
body and gives the oxygen to them so
they can work.

Functions of the chambers
• The right atrium takes deoxygenated blood
from the vena cava and stores it before
sending it through the tricuspid valve.
• The right ventricle receives de-oxygenated
blood through the tricuspid valve before
pumping it up the pulmonary artery to the
lungs.
Functions of the chambers
• The left atrium
• The left ventricle
Functions of the valves
• The tricuspid valve stops blood flowing
back into the right atrium.
• The bicuspid valve
• The semi lunar valves stop blood flowing
back into the left and right ………………
Functions of the blood vessels
• The vena cava transports de-oxygenated
blood from the body to the heart. Here is
gives the oxygen to the working muscles.
• The pulmonary artery
Functions of the blood vessels
• The pulmonary vein transports oxygenated
blood from the lungs to the heart.
• The aorta
Blood Vessels
• Arteries
• Veins
• Capillaries
Thermoregulation:
Vasodilation of vessels
• This is when you body temperature rises.
• It is when the blood vessels expand,
meaning the blood flows nearer to the
surface of the skin.
• It is a way of cooling you down.
• It makes your skin become red after a
heart raising activity.
Thermoregulation:
Vasoconstriction of vessels
• This is when your body temperature
decreases, which makes your blood
vessels constrict.
• This means less blood flows near the
surface of your skin so less heat is lost.
• It happens when you are
• It happens when you are cold.
