Total questions: 21
Worksheet time: 11mins
The heart is the pump in the
respiratory sytem
circulatory system
lymphatic system
Humans have a double circulatory system- this means blood passes
1 time through the heart in a compete circulation
2 times through the heart in a compete circulation
3 times through the heart in a compete circulation
The heart has
2 chambers
4 chambers
6 chambers
The top two chambers of the heart are called
atrium
ventricles
The bottom two chambers of the heart are called
atrium
ventricles
Blood flows from the lungs (rich in oxygen) to the heart in the
pulmonary vein
pulmonary artery
Blood flows from the lungs (rich in oxygen) to the heart into the
left ventricle
left atrium
what prevents blood flowing from the ventricles back into the atrium when the ventricles contract
ligaments
valves
a thick membrane
Blood is pumped out of the left ventricle (full of oxygen) at high pressure and passes to
whole body
lungs
Blood flows from the body (where the oxygen was used up to the right atrium in the
aorta
vena cava
Blood is pumped out of the left ventricle (full of oxygen) at high pressure and passes into the
aorta
vena cava
Blood ( with little oxygen) is pumped out of the right ventricle to the
head
lungs
The rate that the heart beats is controlled by a group of cells in the right atrium that act as a
pacemaker
rhythm generator
Transport oxygen to the heart
veins
arteries
capillaries
Transport blood away from the heart
veins
arteries
capillaries
Blood flow at high pressure
veins
arteries
capillaries
Thick elastic walls to withstand high blood pressure
veins
arteries
capillaries
oxygen is transported in the
white blood cells
red blood cells
Have valves to prevent the blood flowing at low pressure from moving the wrong direction
arteries
veins
Have bigger lumen (inside hole) to ease blood flow
arteries
veins
Where does oxygen leave the blood and diffuse into the cells
veins
arteries
capillaries
