Pumps blood toward the lungs through the pulmonary artery.
03What does “Left atrium” do?
Receives oxygenated blood returning from the lungs.
04What does “Left ventricle” do?
Pumps blood into the systemic circulation through the aorta.
05What does “Mitral valve” do?
Separates the left atrium and ventricle and limits backflow.
06What does “Aorta” do?
Distributes blood from the left ventricle to the body.
07What does “Pulmonary artery” do?
Carries blood from the right ventricle to the lungs.
08What does “Pulmonary veins” do?
Return oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium.
09What does “Pulmonary alveoli” do?
Main sites of gas exchange between air and blood.
10What does “Diaphragm” do?
Main inspiratory muscle; contraction increases thoracic volume.
11What does “Trachea” do?
Conducts air toward the bronchi.
12What does “Nephron” do?
Functional kidney unit that filters and then modifies filtrate.
13What does “Glomerulus” do?
Capillary network where plasma filtration begins.
14What does “Ureter” do?
Carries urine from a kidney to the bladder.
15What does “Encephalon” do?
Integrates information and coordinates many functions; it includes the cerebrum, cerebellum and brainstem.
16What does “Cerebellum” do?
Helps coordinate movement and balance.
17What does “Spinal cord” do?
Carries signals between brain and body and integrates reflexes.
18What does “Synapse” do?
