Question 18
18.

Which of the following are functions of the cardiovascular system?
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
Order the path of deoxygenated blood starting at the body
The valve between the atrium and ventricle (tricuspid valve)
The valve between the ventricle and artery (pulmonary valve)
Right atrium
Inferior/Superior vena cava
Pulmonary artery
Leaves the pulmonary arteries to go to the lungs
Right ventricle
As the blood passes by the alveoli through the capillaries which of the following occurs?
Carbon dioxide moves from the alveoli into the blood
Carbon dioxide moves from the blood into the alveoli
Oxygen moves from the alveoli into the blood
Oxygen moves from the blood into the alveoli
Order the path of oxygenated blood starting at the lungs
Pulmonary veins
Left ventricle
Left atrium
Leaves the aorta to go to the body
The valve between the atrium and ventricle (mitral valve)
Aorta
The valve between the ventricle and the artery (aortic valve)
As the blood passes by the cells in our calves through the capillaries which of the following occurs?
Oxygen moves from the blood into the cells
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
This question is just asking about the chambers of the heart (match the letters to the structure)
I
Right atrium
H
Right ventricle
B
Left atrium
D
Left ventricle
This question is just asking about the arteries and ventricles of the heart (match the letters to the structure)
E
Superior vena cava
F
Aorta
G
Pulmonary artery
A
Pulmonary veins
This question is asking about the cardiac cycle. Match the following into the functions of the two nodes in the heart
Sends a signal down the interventricular septum
Signals the contraction of the atria
Directly leads to the contraction of the ventricles
Is also known as the pacemaker
Signals the AV node
Receives a signal directly from the brain
Receives a signal from the SA node
Sinoatrial Node (SA Node)
Atrioventricular Node (AV Node)
Sort the following into the different types of blood vessels
The aorta is an example of this type of blood vessel
Has a very large overall area so the blood pressure is low so the blood moves slowest inside of them
Has thinner walls (not as thin as capillaries)
Is the main site of nutrient and gas exchange
Contains valves
The vena cava is an example of this type of blood vessel
Needs to have a lot of elasticity because of the high pressure from the blood pumping
The smallest blood vessels
Is lined in skeletal muscle
Has the thickest walls
Carries blood away from the heart
Carries blood to the heart
Has very thin and porous walls
Arteries
Veins
Capillaries
Sort the following into the different blood cells
Important in clotting
Cell fragments
Contains hemoglobin
Helps to fight off infections
Carries oxygen
Red blood cells
White blood cells
Platelets
Sort the following for blood pressure calculations
The higher number
The number that is in the denominator (bottom)
The number that is in the numerator (top)
The lower number
The pressure caused by the contraction of the ventricles
Systolic Pressure
Diastolic Pressure
