Question
Chapter 11, Problem 20SAE
Summary Introduction
To review:
The circuit followed by the blood, starting from the right atrium of the heart to the left atrium.
Introduction:
The circulatory system carries gases, mainly carbon dioxide and oxygen, and nutrients throughout the body. The heart is a vital part of the cardiovascular system that pumps blood in the blood vessels. Blood vessels connect every part of the body and supply them with blood. The circulatory system is divided into two parts: systemic circulation and pulmonary circulation.

Students have asked these similar questions
In correct sequence, which heart chambers, heart valves, and blood vessels would a drop of blood encounter as it flows from the right atrium to the aorta?
Figure shows the conduction system of the heart that transmit the electrical impulses
for the coordination of cardiac cycle.
a) Referring to the Figure , which part of the heart's electrical conduction is known as
the “pacemaker” of the heart?
b)Explain how D controls atria and ventricles which causes ventricular systole.
Which part of the cardiovascular system contains the most blood? Which part provides the greatest resistance to blood flow? Which part provides the greatest cross-sectional area? Explain.
