Title: Name the four chambers of the heart and the major blood vessels leading in and out of the heart and Post by: Fuaza on Aug 14, 2015 Name the four chambers of the heart and the major blood vessels leading in and out of the heart and lungs. Describe how blood is pumped and circulated to and from the heart.

Major blood vessels: Superior and inferior venae cavae; pulmonary arteries and pulmonary veins; aorta. How blood is pumped and circulated to and from the heart: 1. Deoxygenated blood flows into the right atrium from the superior and inferior venae cavae. 2. Blood moves from the right atrium into the right ventricle; from there it is pumped through the pulmonary arteries into the lungs. 3. Blood picks up oxygen and discards carbon dioxide in the lungs; it then goes through the pulmonary veins into the left atrium. 4. Oxygenated blood is forced from the left atrium into the left ventricle; from there it is pumped through the aorta into the rest of the body's blood vessels.
