- Place the following events in order: A) The atria fill with blood; B) The Valve between the ventricles and atria close; C) Blood is pushed out of the heart.
A,B,C
69. WKST - Blood and Lymph
- True/False: The right ventricle pumps blood to lungs
False: Left Ventricle
69. WKST - Blood and Lymph
- True/False: The cardiovascular system consists of the heart, blood vessels, lymph
False: Blood
69. WKST - Blood and Lymph
- A flap of tissue called a(n) _____ seperates the right atrium from the left ventricle?
Valve
69. WKST - Blood and Lymph
- The force with which the _______ contract causes blood pressure
Ventricles
69. WKST - Blood and Lymph
- Blood returns to the heart from the body through the blood vessel called
vena cava
69. WKST - Blood and Lymph
- Cardiovascular health can be maintained by strengthening the heart muscle through regular
exercise
69. WKST - Blood and Lymph
- The circulatory carries the needed matierials oxygen and ______ to the body cells
Glucose / Nutrients
69. WKST - Blood and Lymph
- Blood that is rich in oxygen leaves the heart through the blood vessel known as the ________?
Aorta
69. WKST - Blood and Lymph
- Substances are exchanged between the blood and body cells in the blood vessels known as _______?
Capillaries
69. WKST - Blood and Lymph
- What is the valve?
Prevent blood from flowing backwards in the left atrium to the left ventricle
69. WKST - Blood and Lymph
- What if a hole was ripped in the septum
rich oxygen blood would mix with poor oxygen blood. Oxygen would be sent to less body cells.
