the upper chambers of the heart. The right atrium receives deoxygenated blood and the left receives oxygenated blood

the lower chambers of the heart that receive blood from the atria before pumping it out to the body/lungs

structural feature that prevents backflow of blood

carries deoxygenated blood from the right side of the heart to the lung then back to the left side of the heart

carries oxygenated blood from the left side of the heart to the rest of the body. After delivering oxygen and nutrients to the body, the blood returns to the right side of the heart deoxygenated

Double circulatory system and structure of the heart

Physical education

This unit will examine the structure and function of both the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. It includes the correct anatomical names and location of different chambers, valves and blood vessels as well as the pathway of air through to the alveoli and how gaseous exchange occurs.

Anatomy and physiology: the cardio-respiratory system

The systemic circuit supplies oxygen to which two of the following areas?

The {{}} circuit transports blood to the lungs to collect oxygen and takes it back to the heart.

Which of the following refers to the two chambers at the top of the heart?

Name the chamber identified in red in the image below.

carries blood from the heart to the lungs

situated between the left atrium and the left ventricle

the biggest chamber of the heart before blood is pumped to the body

the biggest artery in the body carrying blood into systemic circuit

the main vein carrying deoxygenated blood into the right atrium

prevent backflow into heart after being pumped out of ventricles

Match the following components of the circulatory system.

Valves can be found in the heart and in veins to help prevent {{}} of blood.

Which of the following does the word cardiac relate to?

What is the substance carried to our working muscles within the blood that provides energy for exercise?

{{}} are a type of blood vessel that carries blood away from the heart at high pressure.

When you start exercising, your heart rate ...

The wall that divides the left and right sides of the heart is called the ...

allows movement when muscles contract to leverage bones

pumps blood to deliver oxygen/nutrients and remove waste products

enables gaseous exchange to get oxygen into the body

the heart, blood vessels and lungs that deliver oxygen to muscles 

converts food we eat into nutrients we can use for energy, growth etc.

sends messages between the brain and different body parts

Match the following body system with its main function.
