 BLOOD
is the red liquid that circulates in the
arteries and veins of humans and other
vertebrate animals, carrying oxygen to
and carbon dioxide from the tissues of
the body.
BLOOD VESSELS

Transports blood
throughout the body
 ARTERIES

Carry blood away

from the heart
 CAPILLARIES

enable the actual exchange of

water and chemicals between the
blood and the tissues
 VEINS

carry blood from the capillaries

back toward the heart
 AORTA

Main artery of the heart

 VENTRICLES

Pumping chambers of the heart

 ATRIA

Receiving chambers of the heart
