Please don't start this until we discuss it in class.

1

Which of the following are functions of the cardiovascular system?

1

Order the path of deoxygenated blood starting at the body

Leaves the pulmonary arteries to go to the lungs
Pulmonary artery
Right atrium
Right ventricle
The valve between the atrium and ventricle (tricuspid valve)
The valve between the ventricle and artery (pulmonary valve)
Inferior/Superior vena cava

1

What are the small sacks in the lungs where the majority of gas exchange happens?

1

As the blood passes by the alveoli through the capillaries which of the following occurs?

1

Order the path of oxygenated blood starting at the lungs

Pulmonary veins
The valve between the ventricle and the artery (aortic valve)
Left ventricle
Leaves the aorta to go to the body
Left atrium
The valve between the atrium and ventricle (mitral valve)
Aorta

1

As the blood passes by the cells in our calves through the capillaries which of the following occurs?

For the next few questions you are going to be labeling the image below.

1

This question is just asking about the chambers of the heart (match the letters to the structure)

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
H		Right atrium
D		Right ventricle
I		Left atrium
B		Left ventricle

1

This question is just asking about the arteries and ventricles of the heart (match the letters to the structure)

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
G		Superior vena cava
E		Aorta
A		Pulmonary artery
F		Pulmonary veins

1

What are the names of the structures that C is pointing to? They prevent back flow in the heart.

1

What is J pointing to?

You're now done looking at the diagram.

1

What is the name of the circuit that carries blood to and from the body and the heart

1

What is the name of the circuit that carries blood to and from the lungs and the heart

1

This question is asking about the cardiac cycle. Match the following into the functions of the two nodes in the heart

Receives a signal directly from the brain
Sends a signal down the interventricular septum
Directly leads to the contraction of the ventricles
Signals the contraction of the atria
Receives a signal from the SA node
Is also known as the pacemaker
Signals the AV node

Sinoatrial Node (SA Node)
Atrioventricular Node (AV Node)

1

Sort the following into the different types of blood vessels

Has a very large overall area so the blood pressure is low so the blood moves slowest inside of them
The vena cava is an example of this type of blood vessel
Contains valves
Needs to have a lot of elasticity because of the high pressure from the blood pumping
Has thinner walls (not as thin as capillaries)
Carries blood away from the heart
Is lined in skeletal muscle
Has very thin and porous walls
Is the main site of nutrient and gas exchange
Carries blood to the heart
The smallest blood vessels
Has the thickest walls
The aorta is an example of this type of blood vessel

Arteries
Veins
Capillaries

1

What is the majority of blood made up of (it contains water, nutrients, and some carbon dioxide)

1

Sort the following into the different blood cells

Helps to fight off infections
Contains hemoglobin
Important in clotting
Carries oxygen
Cell fragments

Red blood cells
White blood cells
Platelets

1

What is the protein in red blood cells that is attracted to and carries oxygen?

1

Sort the following for blood pressure calculations

The lower number
The number that is in the numerator (top)
The higher number
The pressure caused by the contraction of the ventricles
The number that is in the denominator (bottom)

Systolic Pressure
Diastolic Pressure
