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

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

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

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

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
B		Right atrium
D		Right ventricle
H		Left atrium
I		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
A		Superior vena cava
G		Aorta
E		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

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

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

1

Sort the following into the different types of blood vessels

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

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

Contains hemoglobin
Carries oxygen
Helps to fight off infections
Important in clotting
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 number that is in the numerator (top)
The lower number
The pressure caused by the contraction of the ventricles
The higher number
The number that is in the denominator (bottom)

Systolic Pressure
Diastolic Pressure
