28 b. Pulmonary circulation

29 15. Why is the pulmonary vein the only oxygen-rich vein in the body?

30 Because it brings blood to the heart from the lungs, where it picks up oxygen.

31 16. What is the purpose of Pulmonary Circulation?

32 To take blood to the lungs to release carbon dioxide and pick up oxygen for respiration.

33 17. Describe systolic and diastolic blood pressure

34 Systolic- When the ventricles contract and blood is pushed out of the heart.(top # of blood pressure) Diastolic- A measure of the pressure that occurs as the ventricles fill with blood just before they contract again. (Bottom # of blood pressure) Example BP: 120/80

35 18. Why are there no valves in arteries?

36 Blood in arteries is pushed along by the pumping of the heart and the smooth muscles of the artery walls.

37 19. What are some steps you can take to prevent cardiovascular disease?

38 Regular checkups, a healthful diet, exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, reducing stress, not smoking.

39 20. Capillaries, Veins and Arteries are all.
