CARDIOVASCULAR system

Master the cardiovascular system! Label the heart, trace blood flow, and learn about key components with this engaging worksheet.

Heart Labeling: Use the word bank below to label the diagram. You do not need the label the valves (#6, 12, and 13)REMEMBER, SPELLING COUNTS!!!!!!! Left Pulmonary Artery Left Pulmonary Veins Left Atrium Left Ventricle Septum Aorta Superior Vena Cava Right Pulmonary Artery Right Atrium Right Ventricle Inferior Vena Cava Right Pulmonary Veins Word Bank: Use the word bank to help label the heart diagram above. Right Atrium Left Ventricle Right Pulmonary Veins Superior Vena Cava Aorta Left Atrium Right Pulmonary Artery Left Pulmonary Veins Inferior Vena Cava Septum Right Ventricle Left Pulmonary Artery How many chambers does the heart have? 2 3 4 6 Through circulation of the blood, which of the following is the blood responsible for carrying? Nutrients Oxygen Carbon Dioxide All of the above What separates the left side of the heart from the right side of the heart? Tricuspid valve Aortic valve Septum The great wall of China What type of blood vessel carries blood back into the heart? Artery Vein Capillary Arteriole What is the correct order of blood flow through the heart's chambers? Left atrium --> Left ventricle --> Right atrium --> Right ventricle Right atrium --> Right ventricle --> Left ventricle --> Left atrium Right atrium --> Right ventricle --> Left atrium --> Left ventricle Left atrium --> Left ventricle --> Right ventricle --> Right atrium What is the purpose of heart valves? The make a heart's beating noise To prevent back flow of blood between heart chambers To cause the heart to rhythmically contract To pump blood back into the heart What blood vessels carry blood away from the heart? Veins Capillaries Arteries Vena Cavas Why is the left side of the heart thicker than the right side of the heart? The left ventricle pumps blood only to the lungs; the right ventricle pumps blood to the whole body The left ventricle pumps blood to the whole body; the right ventricle pumps blood only to the lungs Match the terms to the clue given that describes each part of the Cardiovascular System that you have learned about thus far. "I am the liquid portion of the blood, mostly made up of water." Plasma "If you cut yourself, you'd find how important I am in stopping bleeding and forming a scab." Platelets "I am in charge of your immunity to disease. I fight off germs, bacteria, and infections in the body." White Blood Cells "I am responsible for carrying oxygen to all of the body's cells and tissues." Red Blood Cells "Two of us are the bottom chambers of the heart." Ventricles "I am the largest artery in the body." Aorta "I am the only blood vessel in the body that is thin enough to allow for gas, like oxygen and carbon dioxide, to pass through my walls." Capillaries "We are the blood vessels that carry blood to and from the lungs." Pulmonary Arteries & Pulmonary Veins "Two of us are the top chambers of the heart." Atrium "I am the largest vein in the body." Vena Cava
