The purpose of the pulmonary circuit/loop (pulmonary circulation) is to:
remove oxygen from oxygen-rich blood
add oxygen to oxygen-rich blood
add oxygen to oxygen-poor blood
remove oxygen from oxygen-poor blood
Olivia and Benji are curious about the heart's structure. They learned that the two upper chambers of the heart that receive blood are called:
atria (plural of atrium)
ventricles
Blood is moved away from the right ventricle through the a blood vessel called the:
pulmonary artery
aorta
superior vena cava
coronary sinus
Which large blood vessels are responsible for carrying blood away from the heart?
arteries
capillaries
veins
venae cavae
Pulmonary circulation loop involves blood between the heart and the:
body
digestive organs
brain
lungs
Capillaries are where gases are exchanged between the blood & body.
True
False
Aorta
Left Atrium
Left ventricle
Right Atrium
Select ALL statements that are true about veins:
they typically carry oxygen-poor blood
they typically carry oxygen-rich blood
they carry blood from body back into the heart
they contain valves to push blood back to heart
they are where we can feel our pulse
Heart chamber that receives oxygen-rich blood from the lungs.
left atrium
right atrium

left atrium
right atrium
left ventricle
right ventricle
The heart chamber that pumps oxygen-poor blood to the lungs.
left atrium
right atrium
left ventricle
right ventricle
The blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood from the lungs into the left atrium of the heart:
pulmonary vein
pulmonary artery
aorta
vena cava
The largest veins in the body - return blood to the right atrium.
vena cavas (superior & inferior)
right ventricle
chordae tendinae
apex
Imagine you're a tiny red blood cell. You've just picked up oxygen in the lungs and are ready to race back to the heart. What is this vital journey called?
pulmonary circulation
systemic circulation
femoral circulation

inferior vena cava
veins
arteries
BONUS Q: The heart beat sounds "lub" and "dup" result from ________.
blood moving to the lungs
the electricity of the heart
blood rushing through the chambers
opening & closing of heart valves

systemic
hepatic
coronary
pulmonary
