The Circulatory System : Review #2
Circulation and Blood : (Learning Outcomes J4-J6)
L.O. J – 4 Pulmonary Vs Systemic Circulation
___ 1. The name for the circulation of blood from the heart to the lungs and back to the
heart is?
___ 2. The name for the circulation of blood from the heart to the body tissues and back
to the heart is?
___ 3. List two different arteries in our studies that carry DEOXYGENATED blood.
___ 4. Which part (half/chambers) of the heart is involved with pumping blood through
the systemic circuit?
___ 5. What part (half/chambers)of the heart is the collecting chamber for the systemic
blood?
L.O. J – 5 Fetal Circulation vs Adult Systems
___ 1. List the 4 key modifications found in the fetal circulatory system.
___ 2. On your diagram of a fetal circulatory system in the notes you were given, circle
the 4 areas of difference
___ 3. **What is the FUNCTIONAL similarity between the Oval Opening and the
Arterial Duct?**
___ 4. **Explain why it is important for the oval opening to close completely prior to or
shortly after birth.**
___ 5. What is the name of the blood vessel that brings nutrients to the fetus?
___ 6. What is the organ that allows exchange of gases and nutrients between mother
and child? Note: no actual blood cells are exchanged—just nutrients.
___ 7. *** With reference to the last question: What is the process called by which
nutrients, gases, and wastes are exchanged?***
This is an extremely important leaning outcome. Having knowledge of the various blood
vessels of the body. (L.O. J2), it should not be much extra work. Each pathway through
the body must have a pulmonary circuit and a systemic circuit. Practice with various
possibilities. Below are only sample questions.
L.O. J – 6 Blood Pathways (take the most direct pathway)
___ 1. Starting in the right atrium, trace the path of a red blood cell through to your
foot and all the way back to your right atrium.
___ 2. Starting in the left atrium travel out to your brain.
___ 3. Starting in your small intestine going back to your aorta.
___ 4. Starting in your superior vena cava passing though to your hand.
