Which type of blood vessel is only one cell

layer thick?

capillary

Which type of blood vessel measures the

highest blood pressure?

artery

Which type of blood vessel contains a layer of smooth

muscle?

arteries and veins

What type of blood vessel contains

valves to prevent blood from flowing

backwards?

veins

What type of blood vessel is the aorta?

artery

Name the three types of circulation.

coronary, pulmonary, and systemic

What type of circulation carries

blood to the lungs?

pulmonary circulation

What type of circulation covers the

largest area?

systemic circulation

What is the general pathway of blood’s

circulation?

heart→lungs→heart→body

Coronary circulation provides blood flow to the __________.

heart

Name the four chambers of the

heart.

right atrium, right ventricle, left

atrium, and left ventricle

Which side of the heart contains

deoxygenated blood?

right side

Why is the left ventricle larger than the right ventricle?

The left ventricle is larger because it has to pump blood all over the

body. (The right ventricle pumps blood

to the lungs.)

What part of the heart separates the right ventricle from the left ventricle?

septum

A(n) _____ carries blood away from the heart, and a(n) _____ carries blood to the

heart.

An artery carries blood away from the heart,

and a vein carries blood to the heart.

What is blood pressure?

Blood pressure measures the force of

blood on the artery walls.

What does the systolic number

measure?

ventricular contraction

What does the diastolic number

measure?

ventricular relaxation

What is a sphygmomanometer?

A sphygmomanometer is the instrument used

to measure blood pressure.

What is the scientific term for high blood

pressure?

hypertension

What does cardiovascular

disease affect first?

heart and blood vessels

What is atherosclerosis?

Atherosclerosis is commonly called “hardening of the

arteries.” It occurs when plaque builds up

in the arteries and restricts blood flow.

Name three things you can do to help

prevent cardiovascular

disease.

eat healthy, exercise regularly, and do not

smoke

What numbers indicate a healthy (or

average) blood pressure reading?

120/80

In the blood pressure reading 136/82, which number is the diastolic

number and which number is the systolic

number?

136 = systolic82 = diastolic

Name the three cells (or cell fragments) that make up the

solid portion of the blood.

red blood cells, white blood cells, and

platelets

What is the liquid portion of blood?

plasma

What molecule on the red blood cell allows it to carry oxygen and carbon

dioxide?

hemoglobin

What is the function of white blood cells?

fight infection

What cell fragment produces fibrin?

platelets

Name the four basic blood types.

A, B, AB, and O

What can happen if you mix incompatible

blood types?

blood clots and/or death

A person with blood type O- wants to donate

blood. Which blood type or types could receive

this blood?

A, B, AB, and O (regardless of the Rh

factor)

A person with blood type B needs a transfusion. What type of blood can

this person receive?

B or O

What kind of blood can be received by a person who is negative for the

Rh factor? (Hint: positive or negative)

only negative blood

What did we say was the main job of the circulatory system?

It transports. (oxygen, nutrients, carbon

dioxide, wastes, etc.)

What are the thread-like fibers that form a sticky

net to trap escaping blood cells and plasma?

fibrin

Which type of blood cell is created at

approximately the same rate as it is

destroyed?

red blood cells

What type of blood cell often increases in

number if you become sick?

white blood cells

How would you describe the blood that is carried to all the body organs?

oxygenated blood

What type of tissue makes up the fat around the heart?

connective
