Heart-Heart-hollow, muscular hollow, muscular organ that pumps blood organ that pumps blood through the body, has 2 through the body, has 2
sidessidesLeft side of the heart-Left side of the heart- holds the holds the oxygen rich bloodoxygen rich blood
Right side of the heart-Right side of the heart- holds holds the oxygen poor blood (high the oxygen poor blood (high in carbon dioxide)in carbon dioxide)

Each side of the heart has two chambers, upper and lower
Atria- Atria- (singular=atrium) (singular=atrium) upper chambers that receive upper chambers that receive bloodblood
Ventricles-Ventricles-lower chambers lower chambers that pump blood out of heartthat pump blood out of heart

Septum-Septum-thick wall that thick wall that separates sides of the heartseparates sides of the heart
Pacemaker-Pacemaker-part of the part of the heart that sends signals to heart that sends signals to heart to beatheart to beat

Blood Vessels-Blood Vessels-transport transport blood around the bodyblood around the body
Arteries-Arteries-carry blood away from carry blood away from the heartthe heart
Veins-Veins-carry blood to the heartcarry blood to the heartCapillaries- Capillaries- only place where only place where substances can be exchanged, substances can be exchanged, very small and thinvery small and thin

Notice that arteries are much thicker than veins. This is because arteries contain a layer of muscle and veins do not.

Aorta-Aorta-largest artery in the body, largest artery in the body, carries oxygen rich blood to the bodycarries oxygen rich blood to the body
Superior and Inferior Vena Cava-largest veins in the body, carry oxygen poor blood from the body back to the heart
Pulmonary Artery-carries oxygen poor blood from the heart to the lungs
Pulmonary Vein-carries oxygen rich blood from the lungs to the heart

Gasses pass through walls of Gasses pass through walls of capillaries by capillaries by diffusiondiffusion (the (the movement of molecules from movement of molecules from an area of high concentration an area of high concentration to low)to low)
Red blood cells are covered in Red blood cells are covered in a protein called a protein called HemoglobinHemoglobin which allows oxygen which allows oxygen molecules to bond to themmolecules to bond to them
