Important Facts to Help You!

• Arteries are blood vessels that carry blood Away from the heart.
• The Aorta is the largest Artery and it takes blood away to the body.
• VeINs are blood vessels that return blood back (IN) to the heart from the body and lungs.
• Blood from the lungs comes to the left side of the heart, whereas blood from the body returns
to the right side of the heart.
• The Vena Cava is the largest Vein and it returns blood from the body.
• The atria (left and right atriums) are the chambers of the heart that first receive the blood.
• The ventricles are the second chambers which receive the blood pumped from the atria and
pump the blood out of the heart into the arteries.
• Valves sit in between the atria and ventricles on either side of the heart and in between the
ventricles and arteries that leave the heart. They shut when blood passes to prevent backflow
of blood.
