The Cardiovascular System by Morgan Leavitt https://padlet.com/morganleavitt19/dt6kh0e09phw5n4k What are the main functions, structures and processes related to the cardiovascular system? en-us 2022-03-13 04:41:41 UTC 2025-06-01 20:46:28 UTC hello@padlet.com Overview of the Cardiovascular System morganleavitt19 https://padlet.com/morganleavitt19/dt6kh0e09phw5n4k/wish/2092040149 The cardiovascular system is consisted of the heart, arteries, veins and capillaries. This system transports blood throughout the body and helps maintain homeostasis.

Then the aorta sends blood throughout the whole body.

They are round disks with a concave middle to better help them be able to transport oxygen. They are made inside of the bone marrow.

The blood goes through the lungs through the pulmonary capillaries. The red blood cells get rid of oxygen in the systemic capillaries and pick up carbon dioxide.

There are arteries, arterioles, capillaries, veins and venules. These blood vessels transport blood throughout the body and supply oxygen to the body.

The blood moves through the arteries away from the heart. Arteries lead to arterioles that move into capillaries.

The first pump happens in the atriums. This pump pushes blood into the ventricles. The second pump happens in the ventricles. This pump pushes blood to either the lungs or the rest of the body.

The blood moves through the veins toward the heart. Veins come after venules that are after the capillaries.
