    Exploring Anatomy: Circulatory System


    Worksheet
    Directions: Complete this worksheet as you view the Circulatory Systems Tile in Exploring Anatomy.

    1. Using the stylus, locate the following parts of the circulatory system. Click on the Description icon
    at the bottom-left and write the function of each structure in the table. After you click on the
    heart and write its function, click the Disable Model icon to remove the outside of the heart and
    view the inside structures.

    Name of structure Function of structure

    Heart

    Aorta

    Veins

    Arteries

    Atria

    Ventricles

    Vena Cava

    2. What are three differences between a vein and an artery?

    3. Click on the femoral artery. Then click on the Curiosities icon.

    What is the femoral artery commonly used for?

    1
    4. Click the Explore Pathway icon to take a virtual journey through the circulatory system. Fill in the
    blanks below to trace the path that one blood cell travels around the body.

    Full of oxygen, a blood cell leaves the left ventricle through a major artery known as the __________.
    This artery branches and becomes smaller as it extends away from the heart. The blood cell continues
    through the arterioles and into the __________. These are the smallest blood vessels and the site of gas
    exchange between the blood and the body tissues. The blood cell then travels back to the heart through
    __________. It reaches the largest vein, where all blood returns, known as the __________ cava. It then
    enters the heart’s right __________, travels through a valve into the right __________, and is pumped
    through the __________ artery to the __________. Here it can release carbon dioxide and pick up
    oxygen in another round of gas exchange. The blood cell returns to the heart through the __________
    vein and enters the left __________. It travels through a valve into the left ventricle to begin the cycle
    again.

    5. During the pathway exploration you discovered that gas exchange occurs in two places. List the
    two locations.

    6. Replay the Explore Pathway feature. Go to slide 2. What are the names for the two stages of the
    cardiac rhythm commonly known as contraction and relaxation?

    Making Connections

    7. How do these stages from question 6 correspond to blood pressure readings such as 120/80?

    8. Do a quick search on catheterization and briefly explain the procedure.

    2
    9. Research complications with catheterization and devise a possible solution for one
    complication.

    10. Explain why the circulatory system is known as a “double circuit.”

    11. Click the Explore Pathway icon to take a virtual journey through the circulatory system. On the
    diagram below, label the vessels and chambers the blood travels through using the following
    terms.

    Aorta Pulmonary veins


    Left atrium Right atrium
    Left ventricle Right ventricle
    Pulmonary artery Vena cava

    12. Vocabulary Matching. The following matching sequence helps provide an overview of the
    circulatory structures and their functions. Each answer is used only once.

    a. Left ventricle _____ 1. Smallest blood vessel, site of gas exchange


    b. Right ventricle ______ 2. Vessel that returns blood to the heart
    c. Capillary _____ 3. Chamber that pumps blood to body
    d. Right Atrium _____ 4. Vessel that carries blood away from heart
    e. Artery _____ 5. Chamber that receives blood from vena cava
    f. Vein _____ 6. Chamber that pumps blood to lungs

    13. Completing the Double Circuit. In the space below, fill in the flow chart using the following
    words. If oxygenated blood is found within the structure, write the word in RED. If deoxygenated
    blood is found within the structure, write the word in BLUE.

    Arteries Pulmonary artery


    Aorta Pulmonary veins
    Capillaries Right atrium
    Left atrium Right ventricle
    Left ventricle Veins
    Lungs Vena cava
