- Learning Targets
Describe the anatomy of the four major blood vessels
- Vena cava
- Pulmonary vein
- Aorta
- Pulmonary artery
Also, consider the learning targets from the last few classes: structure and function of the ventilatory system.
- Directions
Refer to Essentials of Human Anatomy and Physiology p. 364 - 365 and Sports, Exercise and Health Science p. 39
Gently manipulate the heart and lungs to identify and describe the following:
Vena cava
Pulmonary Vein
Aorta
Pulmonary Artery - consider running your finger inside the pulmonary artery into the lung tissue. Is your finger moving in the same, or opposite, direction of blood flow through the pulmonary artery? How would you describe the lung tissue?
