Cardiovascular and Lymphatic-Immune Systems Worksheet
Cardiovascular and Lymphatic-Immune Systems Worksheet Cardiovascular System Label the parts of the organ or structure, and describe the structure and its function. NumberStructureCharacteristics Function 1Left ventricleIt is the thickest of all the chambers. After flowing into the left atrium and through the mitral valve, blood enters the left ventricle before it is pumped out through the aortic valve into the aortic arch and onward to the rest of the body.Pumps oxygenated blood to tissues all over the body.2ArteryA good way to remember this is the A in arteries and away. The arteries always take out blood from the heart.Most arteries carry oxygenated (oxygen-rich) blood from the heart to the rest of the body.3VeinVeins differ from HYPERLINK http//www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artery o Artery arteries in structure and function for example, arteries are more muscular than veins, veins contain valves.Most veins carry deoxygenated (containing less oxygen and more carbon dioxide and other wastes) blood from the body tissues to the heart, which then sends that blood through the pulmonary system to be oxygenated again. Blood Vessels Label the parts of the structure, and describe the structure and its function. NumberStructureCharacteristics Function 1Internal carotid arteryIt has many curvatures in different parts of its path. When it passes through the carotid canal and the side of the body of the sphenoid bone, it has double curvature and looks like the italic letter S.Enters the skull and supplies the anterior part of the brain (via cerebral branches), the eye and its appendages, and sends branches to the forehead and nose.2External carotid arteryFlows upward on the side of the head to branch into various structures in the neck, face, jaw, scalp, and base of the skull.The external carotid arteries supply oxygenated blood to the head.3Subclavian arteryDescends from the aortic arch and leads to the right arm.The subclavian artery supply blood to parts of the shoulder, neck
