The Circulatory System

The blood flow 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, where when you inhale, you take in oxygen.
And when you exhale, the carbon dioxide leaves your body. And this
amazing 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.
