Circulatory System Bingo
Directions: Beginning with the “START” card, match the words on one card to
the definitions on another card. Continue this process until you reach the
“END” card. You have now completed your review of the Circulatory System.
Congratulations!
START
Largest vein in
the human body
Period of
relaxation
when the
heart’s
chambers are
filling with
blood
Aorta
Large artery
that channels
blood from
the heart to
arteries
throughout
the body
Systole
A period of
contraction when
the chambers are
pumping blood out
of the heart
Cardiac
Output
The amount of
blood pumped
from the heart
per minute
Inferior
Vena Cava
Diastole
Stroke
Volume
Volume of blood
pumped from
the heart per
beat
An irregular
heartbeat
Normal heart
rhythm faster
than 100 beats
per minute
Vasodilation
Atrial
Fibrillation
Bradycardia
Widening of
the blood
vessels
Arrhythmia
Atria contract
in an
uncoordinated
pattern at a
rapid rate
Tachycardia
Normal heart
rhythm with a
beat slower
than 60 beats
per minute
Arteries
Vessels that
carry the blood
away from the
heart
Tiny thinwalled
vessels where
oxygen and
carbon dioxide
exchange occurs
Vessels that
carry blood to
the heart
Arterioles
Pulmonary
Circulation
Venules
Microscopic
arteries that
connect with
capillaries
Circulation of
oxygen-poor blood
from right
ventricle, through
the lungs,
oxygenated, and
back to the left
atrium
Connect
capillaries with
the larger
systemic veins
Capillaries
Veins
Vital Signs
Measurements
of pulse and
blood pressure
Abnormal
ballooning of a
blood vessel
Elevated blood
pressure
Systemic
Circulation
Angina
Pectoris
Palpitations
Circulation of
oxygenated
blood through
the arteries,
capillaries and
veins
Severe pain or
pressure in the
chest caused by
a reduced supply
of blood to the
heart
Sensations of
rapid heartbeat
Aneurysm
Hypertension
Coronary
Artery
Disease
Narrowing of
one or more
coronary
arteries by a
buildup of
plaque
An interruption
of blood flow to
the brain that
causes
brain
cells to die
Tissue death in
the heart
muscle from
blockage of a
coronary artery
Ischemia
Atherosclerosis
A lack of blood
flow, usually
due to a
narrowing of a
blood vessel
Hardening of
the arteries
Stroke
Myocardial
Infarction
