Pathway of Blood
  1. Right atrium
  2. Tricuspid valve
  3. Right ventricle
  4. Pulmonary valve
  5. Pulmonary trunk
  6. Pulmonary arteries
  7. Lungs
  8. Pulmonary veins
  9. Left atrium
  10. Mitral valve
  11. Left ventricle
  12. Aortic valve
  13. Ascending aorta
  14. Aortic arch (Brachiocephalic trunk, left common carotid a., left subclavian a.)
  15. Descending Aorta
  16. Arteries of the body
  17. Arterioles
  18. Capillaries
  19. Venules
  20. Veins of the body
  21. Superior/Inferior Vena Cava
  22. Right atrium
Arterioles - vessels that carry blood away from the heart and are smaller than arteries but larger than capillaries
Capillaries - vessels that carry blood away from the heart and are smaller than arterioles, the smallest of which are about one cell in width
Venules - vessels that carry blood toward the heart and are smaller than veins, the smallest of which are about one cell in width
