Circulatory System Quiz

6 Questions

Match the components of blood with their functions:

Plasma = The clear liquid part of blood Red Blood Cells = Turn bright red when carrying oxygen White Blood Cells = Fight infection (part of the immune system) Platelets = Help in the process of clotting

Match the heart valves with their locations or functions:

Tricuspid Valve = Located between Right Atrium and Right Ventricle Mitral Valve = Located between Left Atrium and Left Ventricle Aortic Valve = Between Left Ventricle and Aorta Pulmonic Valve = Between Right Ventricle and Pulmonary Artery

Match the type of blood flow with its corresponding heart part as depicted in the diagram:

Superior Vena Cava = Deoxygenated (B) Left Atrium = Oxygenated (R) Pulmonary Artery = Deoxygenated (B) Pulmonary Veins = Oxygenated (R)

Match the following heart parts with their functions:

Aorta = To lower body Pulmonary Artery = To right lung Inferior Vena Cava = From lower body Right Atrium = Receives deoxygenated blood from body

Match the labels 'R' or 'B' with the areas of the heart based on oxygen levels:

Right Atrium = B Left Ventricle = R Right Ventricle = B Left Atrium = R

Match the following heart parts with whether they carry oxygenated or deoxygenated blood:

Pulmonary Veins = Oxygenated Pulmonary Artery = Deoxygenated Left Ventricle = Oxygenated Right Ventricle = Deoxygenated

Study Notes

Components of Blood

Plasma is the clear liquid part of blood.
Red Blood Cells turn bright red when carrying oxygen.
White Blood Cells fight infection as part of the immune system.
Platelets help in the process of clotting.

The Heart

Superior Vena Cava carries blood from the upper body.
Pulmonary Artery carries blood to the right lung.
Pulmonary Veins carry oxygenated blood from the right lung.
Right Atrium is a chamber of the heart that receives deoxygenated blood.
Right Ventricle is a chamber of the heart that pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs.
Tricuspid Valve separates the Right Atrium and Right Ventricle.
Pulmonic Valve separates the Right Ventricle and Pulmonary Artery.
Aortic Valve separates the Left Ventricle and Aorta.
Left Atrium is a chamber of the heart that receives oxygenated blood.
Mitral Valve separates the Left Atrium and Left Ventricle.
Left Ventricle is a chamber of the heart that pumps oxygenated blood to the body.
Pulmonary Artery is the only deoxygenated artery, carrying blood to the left lung.
Pulmonary Veins are the only oxygenated veins, carrying oxygenated blood from the left lung.
Inferior Vena Cava carries blood from the lower body.
Aorta carries oxygenated blood to the lower body.

Blood Oxygenation

Oxygenated areas of the heart are labeled with an "R" and should be colored red.
Deoxygenated areas of the heart are labeled with a "B" and should be colored blue.
