Please don't start this until we discuss it in class.
Question 1
1.

Which of the following are functions of the cardiovascular system?

Question 2
2.

Order the path of deoxygenated blood starting at the body

  1. Inferior/Superior vena cava
  2. The valve between the atrium and ventricle (tricuspid valve)
  3. Leaves the pulmonary arteries to go to the lungs
  4. Right ventricle
  5. Pulmonary artery
  6. Right atrium
  7. The valve between the ventricle and artery (pulmonary valve)
Question 3
3.

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

Question 4
4.

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

Question 5
5.

Order the path of oxygenated blood starting at the lungs

  1. Pulmonary veins
  2. Leaves the aorta to go to the body
  3. The valve between the ventricle and the artery (aortic valve)
  4. Left atrium
  5. The valve between the atrium and ventricle (mitral valve)
  6. Left ventricle
  7. Aorta

Question 9
9.

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

Question 10
10.

What is J pointing to?

You're now done looking at the diagram.
Question 11
11.

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

Question 12
12.

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

Question 13
13.

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

  • Directly leads to the contraction of the ventricles
  • Receives a signal from the SA node
  • Signals the contraction of the atria
  • Is also known as the pacemaker
Question 14
14.

Question 15
15.

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

Question 16
16.

Sort the following into the different blood cells

  • Helps to fight off infections
  • Carries oxygen
  • Important in clotting
  • Contains hemoglobin
  • Cell fragments
Question 17
17.

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

Question 18
18.

Sort the following for blood pressure calculations

  • The number that is in the denominator (bottom)
  • The higher number
  • The pressure caused by the contraction of the ventricles
  • The number that is in the numerator (top)
  • The lower number
  • Systolic Pressure
Pump blood throughout the body
Clot blood when cut
Carry oxygen to the cells from the lungs
Help fight off infections
Carry nutrients to the cells from the gastrointestinal system
Carry carbon dioxide from the cells to the lungs
As the blood passes by the cells in our calves through the capillaries which of the following occurs?
Oxygen moves from the cells into the blood
Carbon dioxide moves from the cells into the blood
Nutrients move from the blood into the cells
Carbon dioxide moves from the blood into the cells
Nutrients move from the cells into the blood
Left atrium
D
Left ventricle
Pulmonary artery
A
Pulmonary veins
Receives a signal directly from the brain
Signals the AV node
Sends a signal down the interventricular septum
Sinoatrial Node (SA Node)
Atrioventricular Node (AV Node)
Sort the following into the different types of blood vessels
The vena cava is an example of this type of blood vessel
Has the thickest walls
Carries blood to the heart
Is lined in skeletal muscle
Needs to have a lot of elasticity because of the high pressure from the blood pumping
Has very thin and porous walls
Contains valves
The aorta is an example of this type of blood vessel
Carries blood away from the heart
Has thinner walls (not as thin as capillaries)
Has a very large overall area so the blood pressure is low so the blood moves slowest inside of them
Is the main site of nutrient and gas exchange
The smallest blood vessels
Arteries
Veins
Capillaries
Red blood cells
White blood cells
Platelets
Diastolic Pressure
