UNDERSTAND: Things you need to ‘understand’ are big picture generalizations you need to generate.
 The cardiovascular system circulates important materials to, messages between, and waste materials from all of the
20-30 trillions of cells in the human body.
 Like a lazy river, the heart is the pump, the blood is the water, and the vessels are the concrete walls.
DO: The things you need to ‘do’ are skills and processes that you need to independently do.
Goal

1) Identify the 4 main components of blood.
2) Describe the functions of the four main blood components.
3) Identify which antigens and antibodies are present in all ABO and Rh blood types.
4) Describe the results of various transfusions.
5) Identify the universal recipient and donor blood types and explain why they are so.
6) Compare and contrast the main vessel types studied here.
7) Label a heart diagram with the 4 chambers, 4 valves, and 4 major blood vessels.
8) Draw the direction of blood flow through the heart.
9) Label the nodes and Purkinje fibers on a heart diagram
10) Label the wave parts on an ECG.

Unit 6 Review: The Cardiovascular System
1. Make an analogy between the cardiovascular system and a plumbing system in a house. Be sure to include,
the 3 main elements of the cardiovascular system.
Goal 1: Identify the 4 main components of blood.
Goal 2: Describe the functions of the four main blood components.
2. Fill in the following table describing the components of blood:
Component
Relative
Physical Appearance/ Defining
of Blood
Abundance (%)
Features
Erythrocytes
Roles/Jobs
Leukocytes
Plasma
Platelets
Goal 3: Identify which antigens and antibodies are present in all ABO and Rh blood types.
3. Define antigen and give 3 examples:
4. Define antibody:
5. Fill in the following table describing ABO blood typing:
Blood Type:
O
AB
Antigens Produced:
A
B
Antibodies Produced:
6. Why does a Rh negative mother often have a hard time getting pregnant with a second Rh positive baby?
6
Goal 4: Describe the results of various transfusions.
7. A person with Type A blood is accidentally given Type B blood during a transfusion.
a) If you were looking at the blood after it had been mixed, how would you know that the wrong blood
had been given?
b) What symptoms might the person show after this transfusion?
Goal 5: Identify the universal recipient and donor blood types and explain why they are so.
8. Why is O negative (O-) considered the most desirable blood at the blood bank? (Describe both types of
antigens ABO and Rh).
9. A person whose has AB+ blood is considered to be a ‘universal acceptor’. Why is this so? (Describe both
types of antigens  ABO and Rh).
Goal 6: Compare and contrast the main vessel types studied here.
10. Fill in the following table describing the different types of blood vessels:
Blood Vessel
Arteries
Veins
Capillaries
Function
Description of Walls
Other Defining Features.
What are the small ones called?

12. Label the diagram of the heart below with the following parts:
a. The four chambers (RA, RV, LA, LV)
b. The four main valves (SL valves: aortic and
pulmonary, AV valves: bicuspid and tricuspid)
c. The main vessels that take blood to and from
the heart (Aorta, Vena Cava)
13. Describe how the shape of both the AV valves and
both of the semilunar valves prevent the backflow of
blood in the heart.
Goal 8: Draw the direction of blood flow through the heart.
14. Draw arrows showing the direction of blood flow through the heart.
15. What causes the "Lubb-Dupp" noise that is heard as a heartbeat?
8
Goal 9: Label the nodes and Purkinje fibers on a heart diagram
16. Use the diagram to the right to label the following structures
(1, 2, and 5):
a. Purkinje fibers
b. SA node
c. AV node
17. Describe the function of each of the terms listed above.
Goal 10: Label the wave parts on an ECG.
18. What is an ECG and what can it be used for?
19. Label the ECG to the right with the correct letters: P, Q, R, S, & T
20. What is happening during each of the following?
a. P-wave:
b. QRS complex:
c. T wave:
Goal 11: Evaluate an ECG for arrhythmias and identify the cause
21. This ECG is considered abnormal. What is the most different with this
ECG versus the normal ECG, and what could be the cause?
22. Describe/draw an ECG for the following types of Arrhythmias
