Name of Professor: Leila deVilla-Masajo Year Level/Section: BSN 1-5

INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOME

1. Identify the principal structure of the heart.

In humans, the heart is about the size of a clenched fist. It is divided into four
chambers: two atria and two ventricles. The heart is divided into four chambers
consisting of two atria and two ventricles the atria receive blood, while the
ventricles pump blood. The right atrium receives blood from the superior and
inferior vena cava’s and the coronary sinus; blood then moves to the right
ventricle where it is pumped to the lungs.

2. Explain how heart structure function. 

heart is an organ made of clastic tissues cardiac muscles, performs volunteer
reflex actions, simultaneously accumulate blood. And do pumping of blood
throughout the body through blood vessels by creating vacuum pressure. And
these are the heart structure with their functions. The vena cava that carries
deoxygenated blood from the body to heart, the semilunar valve that flaps that
prevent backflow of blood, left atrium that receives oxygenated blood from the
lungs, left ventricle the region of the heart that pumps blood to the body,
pulmonary artery that carries blood to the lungs, right ventricle the region of the
heart that pumps blood to the lungs, pulmonary vein the responsible in carrying
blood from the lungs, the right atrium that segment of the heart that receives
deoxygenated blood, and lastly the aorta the main artery carrying blood to all
parts of the body.

INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOME

1. Identify the principal structure of the blood vessels.

Blood vessels have a range of different sizes and structures, depending on their
role in the body. And the principal structure of the blood vessels are arteries that
responsible for oxygenated blood is pumped from the heart along arteries, which
are muscular. Arteries divide like tree branches until they are slender. The largest
artery is the aorta, which connects to the heart and picks up oxygenated blood
from the left ventricle. The only artery that picks up deoxygenated blood is the
pulmonary artery, which runs between the heart and lungs. And the next is
capillaries that is the arteries eventually divide down into the smallest blood
vessel, the capillary. Capillaries are so small that blood cells can only move
through them one at a time. Oxygen and food nutrients pass from these
capillaries to the cells. Capillaries are also connected to veins, so wastes from
the cells can be transferred to the blood. And lastly veins that have one-way
valves instead of muscles, to stop blood from running back the wrong way.
Generally, veins carry deoxygenated blood from the body to the heart, where it
can be sent to the lungs. The exception is the network of pulmonary veins, which
take oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.

2. Explain how blood vessels function.

The blood vessels are the components of the circulatory system that transport
blood throughout the human body. These vessels transport blood cells, nutrients,
and oxygen to the tissues of the body. They also take waste and carbon dioxide
away from the tissues. The vessels that carry blood away from the heart are
called arteries, and their very small branches are arterioles. Very small branches
that collect the blood from the various organs and parts are called venules, and
they unite to form veins, which return the blood to the heart. Capillaries are
minute thin-walled vessels that connect the arterioles and venules; it is through
the capillaries that nutrients and wastes are exchanged between the blood and
body tissues.
