WORKSHEET Circulatory System

1. Top of Form What is the circulatory system? The body's breathing system The body's system of nerves The body's food-processing system The body's blood-transporting system From what source do cells get their food? Blood Oxygen Other cells Carbon dioxide Why is oxygen important to blood and to the cells? Oxygen helps the blood to clot. Oxygen brings food to the cells.

CLASS X

Oxygen is necessary for cell growth and energy.

Oxygen is not important -- carbon dioxide is the most important substance to the body.

Which type of blood vessels carries blood away from the heart? Veins Arteries Capillaries Arteries, veins and capillaries Why is blood that flows from the lungs to the heart bright red rather than dark red? Oxygen makes it red. Carbon dioxide makes it red. Gastric juices produce the red colour of the blood. The lungs add a pigment (dye) to blood as it flows through them.

What part of the blood carries minerals, vitamins, sugar, and other foods to the body's cells? Plasma Platelets Red corpuscles White corpuscles

What is the main job of the red corpuscles in the blood? To clot blood To fight disease To transport oxygen to the body's cells and carry away carbon dioxide from the cells To transport carbon dioxide to the body's cells and carry away oxygen from the cells Which of the following can best be compared to soldiers? Lungs Capillaries Red blood cells White blood cells Which element in the blood is round and colourless? Plasma Platelets Red blood cells White blood cells

What would happen to people who have an open wound and whose blood did not clot naturally? They would bleed to death.

Nothing. Clotting is not important. They would have to take special clotting drugs. They would have to take regular doses of plasma. What happens when a clot occurred in an undamaged blood vessel? You would bleed to death. A scab will form on the skin surface. Platelets stick to the edges of the cut and to one another, forming a plug. The flow of blood to tissues beyond the clot may be cut off. What happens to blood when it is pumped into the thin-walled blood vessels of the lungs? Platelets are exchanged for plasma. Carbon dioxide is replaced with oxygen. Blood fills the lungs and causes coughing. Nothing -- the lungs are just a place blood goes through on its way back to the heart.

What is the function of the blood vessels and capillaries? They pump blood to the heart. They filter impurities from the blood.

They carry blood to all parts of the body. They carry messages from the brain to the muscles. Why does blood turn dark red as it circulates through the body? It starts to clot. It gets old and dirty flowing through the body. The oxygen in it is replaced with carbon dioxide. The farther blood is from the heart, the more dark red it is.

How many major types of blood have scientists discovered? One: Type "O" Two: white cells and red cells Three: white cells, red cells, and plasma Four: Types A, B, AB, and O What is the organ that pumps blood all throughout the human body? The lungs The heart The kidneys The blood vessels and capillaries Bottom of Form 1.Which is the largest artery in the human body? aorta

pulmonary artery hepatic artery renal artery Answer: aorta The aorta is the largest artery in the human body. The aorta originates from the left ventricle of the heart. It carries oxygenated blood from the heart to all parts of the body. 2. Which of the following is not a function of the spleen? Spleen produces blood platelets. Spleen produces red blood corpuscles. Spleen produces lymphocytes. Spleen stores blood. Answer: Spleen produces blood platelets. The spleen does not produce blood platelets. It has four main functions as follows. 1. It produces red blood corpuscles. 2. It destroys worn-out red blood corpuscles. 3. It produces lymphocytes. 4. It stores blood. 3. The aorta originates from the _______ of the heart. left ventricle left auricle right ventricle right auricle Answer: left ventricle The aorta originates from the left ventricle of the heart. It carries oxygenated blood from the heart to all parts of the body. 4. The spleen is located behind the stomach. True False Answer: True The spleen is located in the abdominal cavity, behind the stomach, and above the left kidney. 5. The spleen is a lymphatic organ. True False Answer: True

The spleen is a lymphatic organ. This is so because it produces lymphocytes. 6. Blood aids in regulating the body temperature. True False Answer: True Blood (a part of the circulatory system) aids in regulating the body temperature. 7. Pericardium is the double-walled membranous covering that protects the heart. True False Answer: True Pericardium is the double-walled membranous covering that protects the heart. It contains the pericardial fluid that helps in lubrication. In other words, it decreases friction during the heartbeat, and protects it from mechanical damage. 8. The coronary arteries originate from the base of the aorta. True False Answer: True The coronary arteries originate from the base of the aorta. 9. There are four kinds of valves in the heart. True False Answer: True There are four kinds of valves in the heart. They are: 1. left auriculo-ventricular valve 2. right auriculo-ventricular valve 3. aortic semilunar valves 4. pulmonary semilunar valves 10. A portal vein begins in the form of capillaries and ends in the form of capillaries too. True False Answer: True A portal vein begins in the form of capillaries and ends in the

form of capillaries too. 11. The pulse rate decreases during strenuous physical work. True False Answer: False The pulse rate increases during strenuous physical work and also during emotional stress. 12. The word 'pulse' is related to veins. True False Answer: False The word 'pulse' is related to arteries during the ventricular systole. 13. Blood pressure is exerted by the blood flowing through the veins on the walls of the veins. True False Answer: False Blood pressure is exerted by the blood flowing through the arteries on the walls of the arteries. 14. 'Systolic pressure' is the term that indicates the lower limit of blood pressure. True False Answer: False 'Systolic pressure' is the term that indicates the upper limit of blood pressure. 'Diastolic pressure' is the term that indicates the lower limit of blood pressure. 15. The auricles of the heart have thicker walls than the ventricles. True False
