Vocabulary to know for the chapter myocardium atrium ventricle pulmonary circulation systemic circulation  valve pacemaker aorta artery capillary vein atherosclerosis 37–1 The Circulatory System A. Functions of the Circulatory System ? The human circulatory system consists of the heart, a series of blood vessels, and the blood that flows through them B. The Heart ? A picture of the structures of the Heart is found on page 944 in your book ? Myocardium – thick layer of muscle that the powerful contractions pump blood through the circulatory system. Section 37-1 Figure 37-3 The Structures of the Heart Right Ventricle Right Atrium Left Atrium Inferior Vena Cava Vein that brings oxygen-poor blood from the lower part of the body to the right atrium Tricuspid Valve Prevents blood from flowing back into the right atrium after it has entered the right ventricle Pulmonary Valve Prevents blood from flowing back into the right ventricle after it has entered the pulmonary artery Pulmonary Veins Bring oxygen-rich blood from each of the lungs to the left atrium Superior Vena Cava Large vein that brings oxygen-poor blood from the upper part of the body to the right atrium Aorta Brings oxygen-rich blood from the left ventricle to the rest of the body Pulmonary Arteries Bring oxygen-poor blood to the lungs Aortic Valve Prevents blood from flowing back into the left ventricle after it has entered the aorta Mitral Valve Prevents
