Anatomy Unit 2-Cardiovaculary & Respiratory Systems
Notes Review Questions
[Heart Anatomy & Cardiac Conduction]
DIRECTIONS:
1) This is not a required assignment, nor will it be collected for points.
2) You should be able to answer all of the questions in this review, without notes, in
order to be successful for the quiz/test.
3) I would recommend completing the following to prepare:
a. Answering all of the questions, using your notes, on separate paper.
b. Do a chunk of questions every day (as we take the notes).
c. Make flash cards with the question on one side, and the answer on the other.
*You can also just fold paper in ½ and complete the same.
d. Quiz yourself out loud (or by writing down answers).
Try to quiz yourself out of order.
