Sistem peredaran darah terdiri atas jantung, pembuluh darah, dan saluran limfe. Jantung berfungsi sebagai pompa darah dan terletak di dalam rongga dada. Jantung dilapisi membran dan terdiri atas 4 ruang dan 4 katup yang mengatur aliran darah. Pembuluh darah mengalirkan darah dari dan ke jantung serta organ tubuh lainnya.
27. (c) The aortic semilunar valve in the open (left) and closed (right) positions. The individual cusps brace one another in the closed position.
28. (a) When the ventricles are relaxed: The chordae tendineae are loose, and the papillary muscles are relaxed. the AV valves are open and the semilunar valves are closed.
29. (b) When the ventricles are contracting: the AV valves are closed and the semilunar valves are open. In the frontal section, notice the attachment of the left AV valve to the chordae tendineae and papillary muscles.
