Rank the following blood vessels in order of their average pressure, from highest to lowest: artery, vein, arteriole, venule, aorta, capillary.
Capillary > arteriole > venule > artery > vein > aorta
Capillary > vein > venule > arteriole > artery > aorta
Aorta > arteriole > venule > artery > vein > capillary
Aorta > artery > arteriole > capillary > venule > vein
What vessels carry deoxygenated blood away from the heart?
Neither coronary arteries or pulmonary artery
Pulmonary artery only
Both coronary arteries and pulmonary artery
Coronary arteries only
How can the circulatory system promote heat retention/conservation, such as on a cold day?
Vasoconstriction
Vasodilation
Decreasing tunica media contraction
Increasing capillary surface area

What do red blood cells do?
Carry oxygen from the lungs to the body cells and transport carbon dioxide from the cells back to the lungs
Collects blood from the capillaries and drain it into the veins
Keeps blood flowing in one direction to the heart and prevent blood from flowing backwards
Bring nutrients to the cells and carries away waste materials
