Ch. 10&11 Study Guide
Circulatory System, and Blood and Immunity
Concepts
□ I can identify the principal structures of the heart and associated blood
vessels (10.2)
o Atria, ventricles, septum, valves, aorta, vena cavae, pulmonary
arteries and veins, av node
□ I can describe the action of the heart, blood pressure, and the general
circulation of the blood through coronary, pulmonary, and systemic
pathways (10.2)
□ I can describe the structure and function of blood vessels (10.1)
o Arteries, arterioles, veins, venules, and capillaries
□ I can explain the role of the circulatory system at the capillary level in
aiding the digestive, excretory, and respiratory systems’ exchange of energy
and matter with the environment (10.3)
□ I can explain the role of blood in regulating body temperature (10.3)
□ I can explain how the motor system supports body functions. (10.1)
□ I can describe and explain the function of the lymphatic system (10.4 and
11.2)
□ I can describe the main components of blood and their role in transport,
blood clotting, and in resisting the influence of pathogens (11.1, 11.2)
o Erythrocytes, leukocytes, platelets, plasma
□ I can describe the ABO and Rh blood groups on the basis of antigens and
antibodies (11.1)
□ I can explain the sequence of the blood clotting process (11.1)
□ I can list the main cellular and non-cellular components of the human
defense system and describe their role (11.2)
o Skin, macrophage, helper T cell, B cell, killer T cell, suppressor T
cell, and memory cell
