THE CIRCULATORY SYSTEM EXAM

WITH CORRECT ANSWERS { GRADED

A+}




circulatory system - ✔✔composed of cardiovascular and

lymphatic systems

-responsible for maintaining homeostasis within the body via

transportation of oxygen and nutrients, while transporting waste

products of cell metabolism

cardiovascular system - ✔✔centered around the heart

-arteries and veins

heart - ✔✔a double pump for blood flow

-2 right and left ventricles

arteries - ✔✔transport blood away from the heart

-aorta, pulmonary artery

, capillaries - ✔✔drain blood into venules which lead to veins

veins - ✔✔transport blood back to the heart

-superior/inferior vena cava

pathway of blood flow - ✔✔heart --> artery --> arteriole -->

capillary --> venule --> vein --> heart

simple pathway in cardiovascular system - ✔✔right heart -->

superior and inferior vena cava --> atrium of right lung --> right

ventricle --> lungs --> pulmonary arteries --> pulmonary veins -->

left ventricle --> aorta

specific pathway in cardiovascular system - ✔✔-beginning in

right heart, superior and inferior vena cava return deoxygenated

blood from all parts of body (EXCEPT lungs) to atrium of right

lung pumping it into the right ventricle

-contraction of right ventricle pumps blood into lungs via

pulmonary arteries

-returns to left ventricle via pulmonary veins
