Ventricles: Lower chambers that pump blood out of the heart. Valves: Tricuspid Valve: Between the right atrium and right ventricle. Bicuspid or Mitral Valve: Between the left atrium and left ventricle. Pulmonary Valve: Between the right ventricle and pulmonary artery. Aortic Valve: Between the left ventricle and aorta. 2. Blood Vessels: Arteries: Carry oxygenated blood (except pulmonary artery). Major arteries include the aorta and pulmonary arteries. Veins: Carry deoxygenated blood (except pulmonary veins). Major veins include the superior and inferior vena cava. Capillaries: Microscopic vessels connecting arteries and veins. Site of nutrient and gas exchange with tissues. Systemic Circulation:
Oxygenated blood pumped to the body's tissues.
