Which part of the human blood:
1. is the most numerous? rbc’s
2. contains a nucleus? wbc’s
3. is biconcave? rbc’s
4. is produced in the bone marrow?
rbc’s, wbc’s, platelets
5. consists mainly of water? plasma
white
blood cell
Y
red blood cell
Identify structures X, Y, and Z.
Z
platelet
Which activity is not a function of white blood
cells in response to an invasion of the body by
bacteria?
1. engulfing these bacteria
2. producing antibodies to act against this type of
bacteria
3. preparing for future invasions of this type of
bacteria
4. speeding transmissions of nerve impulses to
detect these bacteria
Which part of the human blood
transports hormones and nutrients?
1. plasma
2. platelets
3. red blood cells
4. white blood cells
The breaking apart of platelets in the
blood helps in the
1. synthesis of hemoglobin
2. formation of a clot
3. release of antibodies
4. deamination of amino acids
Cardiovascular diseases interfere most
directly with the normal functioning of
system?
Explain the difference between
arteries and veins.
•Arteries carry blood AWAY from heart. Veins carry
blood to the heart.
•Arteries are larger, more muscular and elastic than
veins.
•Arteries carry blood under higher pressure than
veins.
•Veins have valves to prevent the backflow of blood.
Arteries do not have valves.
Explain what occurs in capillaries and
why.
The exchange or diffusion of substances into or out
of the capillary.
Capillaries are extremely small and have a VERY thin
lining that allows for diffusion to occur.
The diagram represents a capillary
near some cells.
1. Identify the substances diffusing
out of the capillary and into cells.
2. Identify the substances diffusing
out of cells into the capillary.
Blood normally flows from the
capillaries directly into
1.small arteries
2.small veins
3. lymph vessels
4. heart atria
The movement of blood from the legs
toward the heart is hindered by
gravity. The effect of gravity is
counteracted by
a. smooth muscle in the capillaries
b. cilia lining the blood vessels
c. valves in the veins
d. lymph nodes near major vessels
Which statement best describes
arteries?
a. They have thick walls and transport
blood away from the heart.
b. They have thick walls and transport
blood toward the heart.
c. They have thin walls and transport blood
away from the heart.
d. They have thin walls and transport blood
toward the heart.
1. Identify the upper chambers of the
heart. Right and left atria
2. Identify the lower chambers of the
heart. Right and left ventricles
3. Identify the structures that separate
the upper and lower chambers. valves
4. Identify the wall that separates the
right and left side of the heart. septum
Identify structures B, D, E, F and H.
aorta
left
atrium
right
atrium
left
ventricle
right ventricle
When blood passes
through the heart
from the left atrium
(D) to the left
ventricle (E), it
must first pass
through a
valve
Identify the part of the heart being
described.
1. Chamber that receives oxygenated

ventricle, it must first pass
through
a. an artery
