Your textbook begins the discussion of the path that blood takes around the body starting at the right atrium. But remember that this path a cycle, and therefore there is no true beginning or end. To make sure you have the idea, I would like you to trace the flow of blood around the human body starting at the AORTA. Complete the activity below. 1 | Right Atrium 2 ! Right ventricle | Aorta 4 | Left Ventricle E Left Atrium | Vena Cava 7 | Cells of the body 8 | Lungs

Visit this site (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/heartvalve) to observe an echocardiogram of actual heart valves opening and closing. Although much of the heart has been removed from this gif loop so the chordae tendineae are not visible, why is their presence more critical for the atrioventricular valves (tricuspid and mitral) than the semilunar (aortic and pulmonary) valves?
Watch this video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/capillaryfunct) to explore capillaries and how they function in the body. Capillaries are never more than 100 micrometers away. What is the main component of interstitial fluid?

Chapter 11: The Cardiovascular System #40 Please answer the question in a simple and very comprehensive explanation of the given situation. Thank you!
explanation of circulation of blood in humans it has to begin with the right atrium of the heart. It also includes these: include all the names of the chambers of the heart include the names and function of the valves in the heart include the names of the all the major vessels involved state where blood is deoxygenated (oxygen-poor) or oxygenated (oxygen-rich)
Write down all the blood vessels a red blood cell would travel through in order. from the Superior Mesenteric Artery to the Right Ulnar Artery. Must include any arterioles, capillaries, and venules
Place in correct order the blood vessel type a blood cell passes through as it travels from the left ventricle and back to the right Atria. You should use the terms, arteriole, venule, capillary bed, muscular artery, elastic artery, vein
Which of the choices below best describes the systemic circulation of blood?a. The flow of blood into the right atrium and eventually out of the left ventricle.b. The movement of blood from the pulmonary trunk, through capillaries into the pulmonary veins.c. The movement of blood into the coronary arteries, through capillaries into the coronary sinus.d. The movement of blood from the aorta, through arteries and capillaries and then eventually to the vena cavae.
8. We discussed fish, amphibian, and mammalian hearts, but didn’t spend much time on reptiles and birds. Please compare and contrast the anatomy of the heart ina) most reptiles (turtles, snakes, lizards) in terms of number of atria, number of ventricles, total number of chambers, and development of the aorta from aortic arches (left, right, or both). Use a table, not text. Also, include a drawing showing the basic template of dorsal aorta, ventral aorta, and six aortic arches, along with drawings showing the modified patterns of aortic arches in a-d above.
Blood is pushed out of the heart through a large vessel, called the aorta. The aorta then divides into smaller and smaller blood vessels, eventually reaching vessels called capillaries. Capillaries are so small that oxygen and nutrients can diffuse across the vessel walls and into the tissues of the body, with CO2 and waste diffusing back into the blood. Let's say that the cross-sectional area of the aorta is 1 cm2 = 100 mm2. The blood pumps through the aorta at 100 mm/s but only through the capillaries at 1 mm/s. If each capillary has a cross-sectional area of 20 mm2, how many capillaries must there be in the body? Note: these numbers are not physiologically correct, but were chosen to make the math easier. The blood velocity through the aorta is closer to 300 mm/s. The capillaries have a total cross-sectional area of ~600,000 mm2 (6000 cm2), with a blood flow rate closer to 0.2 mm/s.
