Preview Visuals Before you read the lesson, look at the visual called The Heart. In the left
column of the chart, complete the list of the heart’s largest structures. As you read, fill in the right
column with the function of each structure.
Structure Function
aorta carries oxygen-rich blood to the body
superior vena cava brings oxygen-poor blood from the upper body
to the right atrium
valves prevent blood from flowing backward
The Heart
Heart Structure The human heart
has four chambers: right atrium,
right ventricle, left atrium, and left
ventricle. Blood flows from the body
into the right atrium.
Follow the directions.
1. Color the left atrium orange.
2. Color the left ventricle red.
3. Color the right atrium yellow.
4. Color the right ventricle blue.

The Heart
Circulation The human circulatory system moves blood through two primary pathways. One
connects the heart and lungs. The other connects the heart and the rest of the body. The diagram
below shows the main parts of the circulatory system.
Follow the directions.
1. Draw arrows to show how blood moves through the circulatory system.

carbon dioxide are exchanged
Bronchus is a passage in the respiratory
Bronchus One of two large tubes in the
system that conects the lungs
chest cavity that connect the
trachea to the lungs
Diaphragm A large dome-shaped muscle at Diaphragm a muscle that help the

B. As you work through this lesson, you may find these terms in the activities. When you need to
write a key term or a definition, highlight the term or the definition.
