Circulation and Respiration Review

Pulmonary circulation involves movement of blood between the heart and:

• lungs

• brain

• liver

• kidneys

The lymphatic system is important for the normal functioning of the body because it:

• carries newly formed blood to the cardiovascular system.

• returns excess intercellular fluid, such as lymph fluid, to the cardiovascular system.

• provides an alternative route for blood during strenuous exercise.

• carries oxygen to the lymph nodes.

Heart valves are important because they:

• make sure blood is traveling in one direction.

• moisten the expired air

• clean the inspired air

The wall that divides the heart vertically is the:

• ventricle

• pericardium

• septum

• atrium

The function of fibrin is to:

• destroy invading organisms

• transport oxygen

• stimulate the production of antibodies

• help form blood clots

• The blood will travel through the body to pick up wastes.

• The blood will return to the right atrium.

• The blood will travel to the lung to become oxygenated.

Which of the following is the chamber of the heart that collects deoxygenated blood?
