Test- Circulatory System Flashcards
- What type of tissue in the heart pumps blood through the body?
Muscle tissue pg. 68. WKST Then Body Transport System
- What type of muscle tissue is found in the heart and pumps blood through the body?
Smooth muscle tissue pg. 68. WKST Then Body Transport System
- If your pulse rate decreases, your heart is beating
Slower than before pg. 68. WKST Then Body Transport System
- Place the following events is sequence: A) the atria begins to fill up with blood; B) the valve between the atria and ventricle close; C) blood is pushed out of the heart
A,B,C pg.68. WKST Then Body Transport System
- Through which type of circulation does blood flow to your hands and feet?
Systematic pg.68. WKST Then Body Transport System
- When the ventricles contract blood is pumped
Our of the heart pg.73. Exterior5FHeart
- What causes blood pressure?
The force with which the ventricles contract pg. 68. WKST Then Body Transport System
- What word best describes the beating of the heart and the circulation of blood?
Automatic pg.68. WKST Then Body Transport System
- What is the function of the group of cells in the heart called the pacemaker?
Sending out signals to make the heart muscle contract pg.68. WKST Then Body Transport System
- In which vessels are materials exchanged between the blood and the body’s cells?
Capillaries pg. 68. WKST Then Body Transport System
- How does pulmonary circulation differ from systematic circulation?
Systematic circulation occurs throughout the body; pulmonary circulation occurs in the heart and lungs pg.73. Exterior5FHeart
- Blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart are called?
Arteries pg.73. Exterior5FHeart
- What role does your brain play in the circulation of blood through the body?
It signals the heart to beat pg.73. Exterior5FHeart
- True/False
The left ventricle pumps blood to the
False it’s to the right lungs pg.73. Exterior5FHeart
- Blood flows from the heart to the body through veins
False it’s atrteries not veins pg. 73. Exterior5FHeart
- The force with which the ___________ regulates the rate at which the heart beats
Ventricles/heart pg. 68. WKST Then Body Transport System
- The group of cells called the _______ regulates the rate at which the heart beats
Pacemaker pg. 68. WKST Then Body Transport System
- Blood that is rich in oxygen leaves the heart through the blood vessels known as ______
Aorta pg.73. Exterior5FHeart
- The circulatory system carries the needed materials, oxygen, and ___________ to the body cells?
Glucose, nutrients pg.68. WKST Then Body Transport System
- Blood is pumped through blood vessels by the action of the organ known as the __________
Heart pg.73. Exterior5FHeart
- Substances are exchanged between the blood and body cells in the blood vessels known as
Capillaries pg.68. WKST Then Body Transport System
- Is the left ventricle high in oxygen or low in oxygen?
High in oxygen because it has just come from the left atrium which receives oxygen-rich blood from the lungs pg.73. Exterior5FHeart
- After leaving the right atrium where does blood flow?
The right ventricle pg.73. Exterior5FHeart
- What are the blood vessels called in the left atrium and what level of oxygen does it have?
It is pulmonary veins and its high in oxygen. Pg.73. Exterior5FHeart
