Test- Circulatory System Flashcards
1 What happens after old blood, which has already circulated through the body, moves into the heart?
The old blood travels to the lungs for more oxygen
- Study Guide- Circulatory System
2 What heart structure separates the right side of the heart from the left side of the heart and prevents oxygenated and deoxygenated blood from mixing?
septum
- Study Guide- Circulatory System
4 How long does it take for your heart to pump blood through your entire body?
About a minute
- BP- Heart and Cardiovascular System
7 What type of skeletal muscle tissue is found in the heart?
Cardiac
- Study Guide- The Circulatory System
16 What would happen if your circulatory system did not deliver oxygen to your body’s cells?
Your body’s cells would die
- Study Guide- Circulatory System
20 What blood vessels allows diffusion to occur?
Capillaries
- WKST- The Body’s Transport System
22 What type of tissue in the heart pumps blood throughout the body?
Muscle tissue
- Study Guide- Circulatory System
26 Through which type of circulation does blood flow to from your heart to your lungs and back?
Pulmonary
- Study Guide- Circulatory System
29 What is the main difference between your ventricles and your atria?
Your atria bring blood into the heart; ventricles pump it out
- CLF- Exterior Heart
31 Name tacouple fucntions of the cardiovascular system
Carrying oxygen, glucose, and other needed materials to cells…transporting cells that attack disease-causing microorganisms….carrying waste products away from cells

#34 Blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart are called......?
Arteries

#35 What can you infer from the fact that your heart beats faster when you exercise?
When you exercise, your muscles need more oxygen
- Study Guide- Circulatory System
#36 What causes blood pressure?
The strength of the muscles in the walls of the capillaries

#47 Fluid from the blood that enters lymphatic vessels is known as.......
lymph
- WKST- Blood and Lymph
#48 Blood returns to the heart from the body through the big blood vessels called.......
vena cava
- CLF- Exterior Heart
#49 Blood that is rich in oxygen leaves the heart through a blood vessel known as.....
aorta
- CLF- Exterior Heart
#55 Substances are exchanged between the blood and body cells in the blood vessels known as.......
capillaries
- Study Guide- Cardiovascular System
#56 What is the function of the pulmonary veins?
The pulmonary veins take in oxygen rich from the lungs and return them to the left and right side of the heart
- CLF- Exterior Heart
#60 What are the blood vessels that lead into the left atrium called? What is its level of oxygen content?
Pulmonary veins lead into the left atrium. These blood vessels are oxygen rich
- CLF-Exterior Heart
#61 The aorta carries blood where?
Out to the body
- CLF- Exterior Heart
#65 What would happen if you had a hole in your septum?
A hole in the septum would allow oxygen poor blood to mix with oxygen rich blood. As a result, less oxygen would go to the body cells.
