  1. 2. Pressure This occurs when the Semilunar valves close.
  2. 4. Circulation System of blood vessels that carry blood to and from the lungs for gas exchange.
  3. 6. Divides the right and left side of the heart.
  4. 9. This is where oxygen is passed into cells and waste into the blood.
  5. 13. Points to the left and rests on the diaphragm.
  6. 14. Circulation System that carries oxygen-rich blood
  7. 15. Prevents blood from flowing back into the left atrium after it entered the aorta.
  8. 18. Atrium Receives oxygen-poor blood from the superior and inferior Vena Cava.
  9. 22. Fluid filled sac.
  10. 23. These have thicker walls to withstand pressure when the heart contracts to push blood throughout the body.

  13. 21. Prevents blood from flowing back into the left ventricle after it has entered the aorta.
  14. 24. Vena Cava Returns oxygen-poor blood to the right atrium from the upper regions.
  15. 25. Pressure-Pressure Blood exerting against the inner walls of the blood vessels and that force keeps the blood circulating continuously.
  16. 27. Atrium Receives oxygenated blood from the pulmonary veins.
  17. 30. Fibers Fibers located in the muscle of ventricle walls.
  18. 31. Pressure Pressure when the ventricles contract and push out blood.
