Higher Structure and function of the heartCardiac output is a measure of the rate of blood flow through the heart and its associated blood vessels. Changes of pressure allow the blood to flow through the cardiac cycle. This is controlled by the cardiac conducting system and regulated by the medulla via the autonomic nervous system. Part of Human Biology Physiology and Health
Blood vessels leading into and out of the heartThere are four main blood vessels that take blood into and out of the heart.
Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart (except for the pulmonary artery which carries deoxygenated blood away from the right ventricle to the lungs). The main artery is the aorta. The main vein is the vena cava.
