This is the main artery of our circulatory system.
What is the aorta?
This is the main function of our circulatory system.
What is delivered oxygen rich blood so we can breathe and produce energy?
True or False
85 bpm is an elevated resting heart rate?
What is false?
This valve allows blood flow from the right ventricle to the pulmonary arteries.
What is the pulmonary valve?
Name three diseases associated with the circulatory system
Answers will vary
This is the first chamber in heart where deoxygenated blood enters.
What is the right atrium?
This blood component carries and delivers oxygen and hemoglobin to every cell in our bodies.
What are red blood cells?
How many valves are there in our hearts?
What is four?
This is the structure connecting the lungs to the heart allowing oxygenated blood to enter the heart.
What is the pulmonary veins?
How many types of diabetes diagnosis are there?
What are Type One and Type Two?
These two chambers are known as the "bellies" of the heart.
What are the right and left ventricle?
Between the systemic circuit (arteries) and the pulmonary circuit (veins), this circuit is a high pressure, low blood volume system.
What is the systemic circuit (arteries)?
True or False
225/145 mmHg blood pressure reading is a medical emergency.
What is true?
This is the structure connecting the lungs to the heart allowing deoxygenated blood to enter the lungs from the heart.
What are the pulmonary arteries?
True or False
Heart Disease is the leading cause of death in the United States.
What is true?
These are the main two veins that are connected to the heart and allow the upper and lower to send deoxygenated blood into the heart.
What are the Superior and Inferior Vena Cava?
Between the systemic circuit (arteries) and the pulmonary circuit (veins), this is a low pressure and high blood volume system.
What is the pulmonary circuit (veins)?
High blood pressure (hypertension) is known as the silent killer.
What is considered a NORMAL blood pressure reading?
What is 120/80 mmHg?

What is the bicuspid valve?
Which of the following does not belong in the group of risk factors for heart disease:
High blood pressure, High cholesterol, Smoking, Diabetes, Unhealthy diet, and Physical activity
What is physical activity?
Should say physical inactivity
This valve allows blood to flow from the right atrium to the right ventricle.
What is the tricuspid valve?
This blood vessel is responsible for the final distribution of oxygenated blood to our cells and the initial pick-up of CO2. You can test them by squeezing your pinkie finger and watching it turn red within 3 seconds.
What are capillaries?
Oxygen saturation is represented by a %
Normal oxygen saturation rate (the amount of oxygen your cells take in) should be between 95% and 100%
At which % and below would someone require supplemental oxygen?
What is 90%
Answer will vary
This valve allows blood flow from the left ventricle to aorta for blood to be delivered to our cells and tissues.
What is the aortic valve?
Which organ produces insulin?
What is the pancreas?
