| Question | Answer |
| Blood vessel that carries blood to the heart | Vein |
| Blood vessel that carries blood away from the heart | Artery |
| Smallest blood vessel in the body | Capillary |
| Liquid component of blood | Plasma |
| Component of blood that produces clotting | Platelets |
| Component of blood that helps fight infection | White blood cells |
| Component of blood that carries oxygen | Red blood cells |
| How many chambers are in the heart? | Four |
| Name the four chambers | Right Atrium, Right Ventricle, Left Atrium and Left Ventricle |
| Part of heart that divides the chambers into two sides - right and left | Septum |
| Which side of the heart pumps harder? Why? | Left side because it has to pump blood all over the body while right side only has to pump blood to lungs. |
| Blood that is high in oxygen and low in carbon dioxide | Oxygenated Blood |
| Blood that is high in carbon dioxide and low in oxygen | Deoxygenated Blood |
| Name two places in heart where deoxygenated blood enters | Inferior Vena Cava and Superior Vena Cava |
| Name two places where oxygenated blood leaves the heart | Descending Aorta and and Aorta |
| What is the valve between the right atrium and right ventricle? | Tricuspid Valve |
| What is the valve between the right ventricle and pulmonary artery? | Pulmonary Valve |
| What is the valve between the left atrium and left ventricle? | Mitral Valve |
| What is the valve between the left ventricle and the aorta? | Aortic Valve |
| Name the four blood types | A, B, AB, O |
| Which component (part) of blood determines the blood type a person will have? | Red blood cells - They have the antigens(proteins)on them |
| Which antigens are on the RBC's of a Type A person? | A antigens only |
| Which antigens are on the RBC's of a Type B person? | B antigens only |
| Which antigens are on the RBC's of a Type AB person? | A and B antigens |
| Which antigens are on the RBC's of a Type O person? | Neither A or B - No antigens present at all |
| Which blood type can Type A safely receive? | A and O |
| Which blood type can Type B safely receive? | B and O |
| Which blood type can Type AB safely receive? | A, B, AB and O |
| Which blood type can Type O safely receive? | O only |
| Which blood types can Type A give to? | A and AB |
| Which blood types can Type B give to? | B and AB |
| Which blood types can Type AB give to? | Only AB |
| Which blood types can Type O give to? | A, B, AB, O |
| Which blood type is the universal donor? | Type O |
| Which blood type is the universal recipient? | Type AB |
| Deoxygenated blood enters which side of the heart? | Right side- it's just been to all parts of the body dropping off O2 and picking up CO2 |
| Oxygenated blood enters which side of the heart? | Left side - it's just been to the lungs dropping off CO2 and picking up new supply of O2. |
| Where does the blood go after it leaves the right ventricle? | Out pulmonary valve to pulmonary artery to lungs to drop off CO2 and pick up O2 |
| Where does the blood go after it leaves the left ventricle? | Out aortic valve to aorta/descending aorta to all parts of the body to drop off O2 and pick up CO2 |
| The superior (and inferior) vena cava enters this chamber | Right Atrium |
| The pulmonary vein enters this chamber | Left Atrium |
| The blood vessel that brings deoxygenated blood to the heart from your legs and feet | Inferior Vena Cava |
| This chamber pumps blood through the pulmonary valve | Right ventricle |
| This chamber pumps blood through the aortic valve | Left ventricle |
| This blood vessel takes the newly oxygenated blood from the lungs back to the heart | Pulmonary Vein |
| This blood vessel takes the deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs | Pulmonary Artery |
| Blood enters the pulmonary artery from this chamber? | Right Ventricle |
| Color of oxygenated blood | Bright red |
| Color of deoxygenated blood | Dark,rusty red |
| Place where oxygenated blood enters the heart | Pulmonary Vein |
| What type of vessel is the inferior vena cava? | A Vein |
| What type of vessel is the descending aorta? | An Artery |
| Three main parts of the circulatory system are | heart, blood vessels and blood |
