A) superior vena cava: collects the venous (deoxygenated) blood from the approximate upper half of the body and carries it to the heart for reoxygenation.

B) same thing as A but from the lower body

C) The ductus arteriosus is a shunt-like tube that naturally closes shortly after birth, although will still be present in the fetus. It shunts blood to bypass the lungs and helps bring oxygen-rich blood to the body cells

D) Pleural membrane: a thin lining/sac surrounding the lungs that carries a slight negative pressure to help in respiration and lung inflation.deflation

G) heart valves: you've got the vena cava, which brings deoxygenated blood to the right atrium. From there, blood goes to the right ventricle, then out the pumlonary artery to the lungs to be oxygenated. Then the blood comes to the left atrium through the pulmonary veins and goes to the left ventricle, and then is pumped to the body through the aorta.
