The Circulatory System
By: Nicole And Alek
The purpose of the circulatory system
The blood starts to get pumped from the left
ventricle. It pumps blood through arteries to the
body. The blood brings resources to every cell.
Your heart pumps blood out to all parts of your
body in arteries and veins. The capillaries are in
contact with your cells. Oxygen, water and food
are transferred to the cells, and carbon dioxide is
carried away. Blood flows back to the right side
of the heart in veins. The right side of your heart
pumps blood to your lungs. And the cycle
Continues until you die.
Right Atrium
The right atrium receives blood from the superior and inferior
cava and pumps it to the right ventricle.
Right ventricle
The Right ventricle receives deoxygenated blood from the right
atrium.
Left atrium
The left atrium receives oxygenated blood from the pulmonary
valves and pumps it to the left ventricle.
Left ventricle
The left ventricle pumps the blood to the aorta, which is a major
artery that pumps blood though out the body in veins.
