a)

PULMONARY arteries

b)

aorta

c)

PULMONARY veins

d)

vena cava

2.

Blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart *but* they carry *DEOXYGENATED* blood. #6 in picture

a)

aorta

b)

PULMONARY veins

c)

vena cava

d)

PULMONARY arteries

3.
TYPE of blood flow that cycles from the right ventricle to the lungs and back to the left atrium
a)
systemic circulation
b)
pulmonary circulation
4.
TYPE of blood flow that cycles to the body tissues; allows for oxygen to be distributed to all the cells of the body.
a)
systemic circulation
b)
pulmonary circulation
5.

First part of Cardiac Conduction System: This *PACEMAKER* sends action potentials to both atria causing them to contract.

a)

Sinoatrial (SA) Node

b)

AV node

6.

Second part of Cardiac Conduction System: This structure receives a signal and passes it on to the Bundle of His

a)

Purkinje fibers

b)

Atrioventricular (AV) node

c)

Sinoatrial (SA) Node

7.

Third part of Cardiac Conduction System: This structures branches down from septum and out towards each ventricle. They *relay* the signal to the Purkinje fibers.

a)

Atrioventricular (AV) node

b)

Sinoatrial (SA) Node

c)

Bundle of His

d)

Purkinje fibers

8.

They send action potentials to the cells in the ventricles, causing them to contract.

a)

Atrioventricular (AV) node

b)

Sinoatrial (SA) Node

c)

Bundle of His

d)

Purkinje fibers

9.
Part of the cardiac cycle where Ventricles relax: Semilunar valves shut to prevent backflow. Blood flows into ventricles from atria due to drop in pressure.
a)
diastole phase
b)
systole phase
10.
Part of the cardiac cycle where Ventricles contract: Blood pumps out of ventricles, AV valves shut to prevent backflow.
a)
diastole phase
b)
systole phase
11.
