THE CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM

A. ANATOMY OF THE CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM

HEART
View the heart model in lab and identify the structures in the list below. Label the image
of the heart below. Starting at the superior and inferior venae cavae, draw blue arrows
to represent the flow of deoxygenated blood through the heart and red arrows to
represent the flow of oxygenated blood through the heart, until the aorta.

Right atrium
Left atrium
Right ventricle
Left ventricle
Superior vena cava
Inferior vena cava
Pulmonary trunk
Pulmonary veins
Aorta
Tricuspid valve
Bicuspid (mitral) valve
Pulmonary valve
Aortic valve

B. PHYSIOLOGY OF THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM

MEASURING RESTING RESPIRATORY RATE
Perform the activity described in the lab to measure your resting respiratory rate and
record your data below.

Resting respiratory rate: ___________________________ breaths per minute

C. CHANGES IN HEART AND RESPIRATORY RATES W ITH A CTIVITY

Use the equation in this lab to calculate your MHR and THRZ. Then perform each of the
activities and record your data in the chart below.

MAXIMUM HEART RATE & TARGET HEART RATE

Look at your heart rates. Did any of the activities put you into the target heart rate
zone? If so which one(s)?

________________________________________________________________________

________________________________________________________________________

Did any of the activities take you to your maximum heart rate? If so, which one(s)?

________________________________________________________________________

________________________________________________________________________

Why does your heart rate need to change with various levels of activity?

________________________________________________________________________

________________________________________________________________________

What would happen if your heart rate did not change with such activity?

________________________________________________________________________

________________________________________________________________________

________________________________________________________________________

During which activity did your respiratory rate increase the most?

________________________________________________________________________

Did this match the same activity that gave you your highest heart rate?

________________________________________________________________________

Asthma is a condition where the bronchi and bronchioles of the lungs constrict and
sometimes have mucus build up. Explain how this would impact a person’s oxygen and
carbon dioxide levels if they were having an asthma attack.
