Cardiovascular system — function?
Transports oxygen, nutrients, and waste.
Heart chambers — roles?
Pump blood; right for deoxygenated, left for oxygenated.
Blood vessel types — differences?
Arteries carry blood away; veins return blood; capillaries exchange gases.
Cardiovascular System — components?
Heart, blood vessels, blood.
Heart — chambers?
Right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium, left ventricle.
Blood Vessel Types — function?
Arteries: carry blood away; veins: carry blood to heart.
Pulmonary vs Systemic Circulation?
Pulmonary: lungs; systemic: body tissues.
Oxygen Transport Mechanism?
Binding to hemoglobin in red blood cells.
Exercise — cardiovascular adaptation?
Increases heart efficiency, improves circulation.
Waste removal processes?
Blood transports waste to organs for excretion.
