, The cardiovascular (CV) system is responsible for supplying
oxygen to body organs and other tissues ( perfusion ).
The heart muscle, called the myocardium, must receive
sufficient oxygen to pump blood to other parts of the body.
Each beat of the heart pumps about 60 mL of blood, or 5
L/min.
The right atrium (RA) receives deoxygenated venous blood,
which is returned from the body through the superior and
inferior vena cava.
The right ventricle (RV) is a muscular pump located behind the
sternum. It generates enough pressure to close the tricuspid
valve, open the pulmonic valve, and propel blood into the
pulmonary artery and the lungs.
