Cardiovascular System Anatomy & Physiology The heart is the pump responsible for maintaining adequate circulation of oxygenated blood around the vascular network of the body. It is a four-chamber pump‚ with the right side receiving deoxygenated blood from the body at low presure and pumping it to the lungs (the pulmonary circulation) and the left side receiving oxygenated blood from the lungs and pumping it at high pressure around the body (the systemic circulation). The myocardium (cardiac

Organism Physiology Paper Deborah Chase Biology 101 Professor Y. Henry March 9‚ 2015 Organism Physiology Paper (Chimpanzees) Chimpanzees are hominid species of apes native to Africa and the closest related to humans which they share 95-98% of human DNA. Earlier research reports that the oldest known primates are about 65 million years old with the chimpanzees emerging about 20 million years ago. It is thought that the chimpanzee’s level of intelligence has allowed it to survive

The epicardium is the outermost layer of the heart. The myocardium is the idle layer of and actual contracting muscle of the heart. The endocardium is the innermost layer and lines the inner chambers and heart valves. Pericardial sac: The pericardial sac encases and protects
