Circulatory/Respiratory System Study Guide
Use your notes, packet and textbook as a reference.
Write and know the definitions of the following words:
white blood cells – help body fight infection
plasma – 60% of blood, fluid that contains many proteins
hemoglobin – an iron containing protein that makes up most of the red blood cells
cardiac – having to do with the heart
vein – blood vessels that carry blood back to the heart
aorta – largest artery in the body – takes oxygenated blood into the body
pacemaker- cells in the right atrium that sends out signals to make the heart beat.
valves – a flap of tissue in the heart (trap door) that prevents blood from flowing backwards
platelet –assists in blood clotting – part of blood
artery – a blood vessel that carries blood away from the heart
alveoli – thin walled air sacs located in the lungs
epiglottis – flap that keeps food and saliva out of the trachea
diaphragm – muscle that causes your chest to expand when you breathe
lung – main organ of the respiratory system
nose - warms, moistens and filters air coming into the respiratory system
trachea – windpipe, tube that carries air into the lungs
oxygen & carbon dioxide (as it relates to the 2 systems)
respiratory system – supplies the body with oxygen
cilia – bristly hairs that clean dirt
capillaries – blood vessels that connect veins to arteries
pulmonary –having to do with lungs
septum – muscle in heart separating two pumps
tissues are made of? tissues are made up of cells
Write and know the following about the heart:
How many pumps and chambers? 2 pumps and 4 chambers
The flow of the blood through the heart: oxygen poor blood enters the rt. atrium, pumped
into the rt. ventricle, into the lungs to get oxygen, into the left atrium, into the left ventricle
and pumped to the aorta to be circulated thru the body.
Location and parts of the heart (packet pg. 29)
List the 4 valves and 4 chambers (packet pgs. 29)
chambers: rt. atrium, left artrium, rt. ventricle, left ventricle
valves: tricuspid valve, mitral valve, aortic valve, pulmonary valve
Draw and label a diagram below showing the flow of blood through the valves, chambers, &
lungs. Use packet as a reference.
Draw and label a diagram below showing the major organs of the Respiratory system:
Use packet pgs. 6 & 17 as a reference. (trachea, lungs, epiglottis, alveoli, diaphragm)
