Pre-AP/GT Circulatory Respiratory Muscular and Skeletal
System Test Review
1. Where are blood vessels found in your body? Virtually everywhere
2. List the structures found in the Respiratory System trachea, lungs,
bronchi, and diaphragm
3. What is a synonym for the Circulatory System? Cardiovascular
system
4. What does the ribcage do? Protect the internal organs/lungs
5. Describe what happens to your diaphragm when your lungs deflate
and you breathe out. The dirphragm relaxes and moves upward
6. What is the structure in the Respiratory System that functions as a
passageway? trachea
7. What causes lung cancer and emphysema? smoking
8. Where does the transfer of oxygen into the bloodstream take
place? Capillaries around the alveoli
9. Capillaries are permeable. What does permeable mean?
Permeable means that substances can pass through
10. List the types of blood vessels. Arteries, capillaries, and veins
11. List the structures of the skeletal system. Bones, tendons,
ligaments, and cartilage.
12. What type of tissue is your heart made of that allows it to pump?
Muscle tissue
13. What is the function of the muscular system? To provide
movement.
14. What would happen to your cells if oxygen was not delivered to
them? _the cells would shut down.
15. Describe how muscles work to move the body. Muscles work in
pairs – one contracts while the other returns to its original length
16. During the Heartbeat lab, why did your heart rate increase when
you exercised? Your heart rate increased to keep up with your
body’s oxygen demand/needs.
17. What is the function of the respiratory system? The respiratory
systems supplies oxygen to the blood
18. Arteries carry blood where? Away from the heart.
19. What is the role of the Red Blood Cells? The red blood cells carry
oxygen to the body.
20. Why are skeletal muscles considered voluntary? Skeletal muscles
are considered voluntary because you control them and they make
your skeleton move.
21. What 2 systems work together to make your body move? Muscular
system and Skeletal system
22. Where might you find involuntary muscle? Heart, stomach, …
23. How do babies have more bones than adults? Some of the baby’s
bones fuse together as they grow.
24. What does the bone marrow do? The bone marrow makes blood
cells.
25. Where is bone marrow found? Bone marrow is found in the hollow
part of most bones.
26. What does the skeletal system provide for the body? Structure and
support. It makes red blood cells and white blood cells in the bone
marrow too.
27. What type of muscle is your heart made up of? Cardiac muscle
28. How do the muscular, circulatory, and respiratory systems work
together? The diaphragm muscle enables air to move into the body,
the respiratory system removes oxygen from the air through the
lungs, and then the cardiovascular system carries the oxygen from
the lungs to the rest of the body.
29. What is the function of platelets and what system are they are a
part of? The platelets clot the blood/make scabs over cuts. They are
part of the circulatory system.
