The Circulatory System

Part I. Understanding Main Ideas

Answer the following questions. 5 points

1. Search “the heart’s structure” on the Internet. Copy and paste a picture of the heart’s structure
(it must include both atria and both ventricles).
2. Write the function of both atria.
3. Write the function of both ventricles.
4. Look at the picture of the circulatory system and identify which of the large blood vessels
labeled a, b, c, and d are arteries and which are veins. Explain the function of arteries and veins.
The function of the Right Atria
receives blood low in oxygen from
the body and then empties the blood
into right ventricle. The function of
Left Arteria receives blood full of
oxygen from the lungs and then
empties the blood into the left
ventricle.

The right ventricle pumps the

oxygen-poor blood to the
lungs through the pulmonary valve.
The left atrium receives oxygen-rich
blood from the lungs and pumps it
to the left ventricle through the
mitral valve. The left ventricle
pumps the oxygen-rich blood
through the aortic valve out to the
rest of the body

Part II. Building Vocabulary

a. specialized cells that deliver
oxygen to other cells
throughout the body.
b. a lower chamber of the heart.
c. the heart’s largest artery.
d. the heart, lung, blood vessels, and blood compose the organ
system called.
e. blood vessels that carry blood back to the heart.
f. an upper chamber of the heart.
g. tiny blood vessels where substances are exchanged
between the blood and body cells.
h. provide oxygen to the cells.
i. an organ that pumps blood to the body through the blood
vessels.
j. blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart.

Part III. If the statement is true, write true. If the statement is false, write false. 5 points

1. true The heart pushes/pumps blood to the body through the blood vessels.

2. false The heart, blood vessels, lungs and blood are part of the digestive
system.

3. false The lower chambers, called valves, pump blood out of the
heart.

4. false From the arteries, blood flows into tiny vessels called veins.

5. true The word cardio comes from the Greek word kardía, means “heart”.

Part IV. Fill in the blank to complete each statement. 5 points

7. The two sides inside the heart are completely separated by a wall of tissue called _____septum_.

8. Lungs are also responsible for removing carbon dioxide from the blood.

9. Arteries, capillaries, and veins are the 3 kinds of _______blood vessels_.
