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

Question 2
2.

Order the path of deoxygenated blood starting at the body

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

Order the path of oxygenated blood starting at the lungs

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

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

  • Signals the AV node
  • Sends a signal down the interventricular septum
  • Directly leads to the contraction of the ventricles
  • 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

  • Contains hemoglobin
  • Important in clotting
  • Helps to fight off infections
  • Cell fragments
  • Carries oxygen
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 lower number
  • The number that is in the numerator (top)
  • The pressure caused by the contraction of the ventricles
  • Systolic Pressure
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
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
Left atrium
H
Left ventricle
Pulmonary artery
G
Pulmonary veins
Receives a signal directly from the brain
Receives a signal from the SA node
Signals the contraction of the atria
Sinoatrial Node (SA Node)
Atrioventricular Node (AV Node)
Sort the following into the different types of blood vessels
Carries blood away from the heart
Has the thickest walls
Needs to have a lot of elasticity because of the high pressure from the blood pumping
Is lined in skeletal muscle
The vena cava is an example of this type of blood vessel
Contains valves
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
Has very thin and porous walls
Carries blood to the heart
The smallest blood vessels
The aorta is an example of this type of blood vessel
Is the main site of nutrient and gas exchange
Arteries
Veins
Capillaries
Red blood cells
White blood cells
Platelets
Diastolic Pressure
