• E. superior vena cava

• F. Inferior vena cava

• G. right atrium

• H. tricuspid valve

• I. Right ventricle• J. pulmonary semilunar valve

• K. pulmonary artery

• L. pulmonary veins•M. left atrium

•N. bicuspid or mitral valve

•O. left ventricle

•P. aortic semilunar valve

•Q. aorta

3. Describe what happens in the heart during diastole.

Atria contract and push blood into the ventricles.

4. Describe what happens in the heart during systole. State where each ventricle sends the blood.

right ventricle pushes blood into pulmonary artery so blood goes to the lungs, left ventricle pushes blood into the aorta so blood goes to all parts of the body.

• 5. List the parts of the conductive pathway for electrical impulses in the heart. List the parts in correct order.

( SA) node, pathways in the atria, atrioventricular (AV) node, bundle of His, right & left bundle branches, Purkinje fibers

                                                         1 The SA node sets the rate and rhythm of your heartbeat

                                                         2 The SA node fires an impulse. The impulse spreads through the walls of the right and left atria, causing them to contract. This forces blood into the ventricles.

3 The impulse travels to the AV node. Here, the impulse slows for a moment before going on to the ventricles.

4 The impulse travels through a pathway of fibers called the HIS-Purkinje network. This network sends the impulse into the ventricles and causes them to contract. This forces blood out of the heart to the lungs and body.

5 The SA node fires another impulse. The cycle begins again.

• 6. What is arrhythmia? How is it diagnosed?

abnormal heart rhythm; cardiac monitors & electrocardiogram

7. Identify the following blood vessels• A. blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart: B. Blood vessels that carry blood back to the heart:• C. Blood vessels that connect arterioles with venules. • D. Largest artery in the body.• E. Two largest veins in the body. • F. Vessels that allow oxygen & nutrients to pass through to cells.• G. Smallest branches of arteries.• H. Smallest branches of veins.• I. Vessels that contain valves to prevent backflow of blood.• J. Most muscular & elastic blood vessels.

8. List 5 substances transported by the blood.

9. List 5 substances that dissolved or suspended in

plasma.

each type.Blood Cell Normal count;

Per cubic millimeter of blood.

Function

11. What gives blood its characteristic red color?

• Hemoglobin and the amount of oxygen present.

12. What is hemoglobin? What is its function?

• Hemoglobin is a complex protein found on the red blood cell; and its function is to carry oxygen and carbon dioxide.

13. Identify the type of leukocyte(s) that performs the following

function.phagocytize bacteria neutrophils &/or monocytes
