Circulation Diagram
Imagine that you are a red blood cell. What would be the path you might follow through Gary’s body as
you traveled from his right thumb, through his heart, lungs, and back to his right thumb?
a. On the outline of Gary’s body, draw just enough vessels to trace the path of a red blood cell from
his right thumb and back.
b. Use red lines to represent arteries, blue lines to represent veins, and purple lines to represent
capillaries.
c. Use arrows on your diagram to indicate the path of the red blood cell.
d. Label the 4 chambers of the heart (RA, RV, LA, LV) and lungs.
1. Label the diagram of the human heart using the following terms: tricuspid valve, septum,
pulmonary vein, pulmonary artery, right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium, left ventricle,
mitral valve, aorta, superior vena cava, inferior vena cava, pulmonary valve, aortic valve (not
labeled).
2. Color the parts of the heart that carry deoxygenated blood blue and the parts that carry
oxygenated blood red.
