Objective 2: Describe the unidirectional pathway of blood flow through the heart Wha

What pump is on the right side of the heart? what does it do?

• pulmonary pump → Sends blood to the lungs to collect oxygen and deposit/remove Co2

What pump is on the left side of the heart? what does it do?

• systemic pump → sends blood to the systemic circut to deliver oxugen to the body cells and remove Co2

What must contract at the same time for blood flow into the ventricles?

Left and right atrium must contract at the same time to push blood into the ventricles.

What must contract at the same time for blood to be in the pulmonary and systemic circuit?

Left and right ventricles

Oxygen-poor blood

Oxygen rich blood
