Circulatory System Quiz Study Guide TOPIC WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW & BE ABLE TO DO Functions of the Circulatory System -Be able to explain the function of the circulatory system. Anatomical Structures of the Heart -Be able to locate each of the following anatomical terms on a diagram of a heart: right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium, left ventricle, septum, aorta, superior vena cava, inferior vena cava, pulmonary arteries, pulmonary veins, heart valves (You do not need to know the names of individual valves, but they may be on the bonus section) Blood Composition & Component Functions -Be able to list the four main components of blood: plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets -Be able to match the functions of each blood component with its name Blood Vessels -Be able to identify differences among arteries, veins, & capillaries in structure & function: arteries carry blood away from the heart, veins carry blood toward the heart (know the pulmonary exceptions); veins have one-way valves, arteries are thicker to withstand higher pressure Systemic, Pulmonary, & Cardiac Blood Flow -Be able to trace the path that blood takes through the heart to the lungs, out to the body cells and back into the heart (be able to do this on a diagram and by identifying structures it passes) WHAT I HAVE DONE TO STUDY THIS: Circulatory System Quiz Study Guide TOPIC WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW & BE ABLE TO DO Functions of the Circulatory System -Be able to explain the function of the circulatory system.
