Lesson Worksheet: Circulatory Pathways Biology

In this worksheet, we will practice describing the different circulatory pathways within the human body.

Q1:

What is the primary purpose of the pulmonary circulation pathway?

  • ATo transport blood between the heart and the rest of the body
  • BTo transport glucose and amino acids to the liver
  • CTo transport blood to the heart to be oxygenated
  • DTo transport blood between the heart and the lungs

Q2:

What is the primary purpose of the systemic circulatory system?

  • ATo transport glucose and amino acids to the liver
  • BTo transport blood between the heart and the rest of the body
  • CTo transport blood between the heart and the lungs
  • DTo transport blood to the heart to be oxygenated

Q3:

Which of the following is correct about the contractions of the heart?

  • AThe right ventricle contracts before the left, so the pulmonary circulation occurs before the systemic circulation.
  • BThe left ventricle contracts before the right, so the systemic circulation occurs before the pulmonary circulation.
  • CThe left and right ventricles contract at the same time, so pulmonary and systemic circulations happen simultaneously.

Q4:

Fill in the blank: In the systemic circulatory system, the blood being transported from the heart to the body is .

  • Aoxygenated
  • Bdeoxygenated

Q5:

Fill in the blank: In the pulmonary circulatory system, the blood being transported from the heart to the lungs is .

  • Aoxygenated
  • Bdeoxygenated

Q6:

Which organs are involved in the hepatic portal circulation pathway?

  • AThe heart and the organs of the respiratory system
  • BThe heart and the small intestine
  • CThe liver and the organs of the digestive system
  • DThe lungs and the stomach
  • EThe kidneys and the heart

Q7:

What are the two major pathways of blood circulation through the human body?

  • APulmonary and systemic circulations
  • BPulmonary and arterial circulations
  • CHepatic and renal circulations
  • DSystemic and venous circulations

Q8:

The diagram provided shows a simplified view of the different circulatory pathways in the human body. Which color line represents the systemic circulatory system?

  • ABlack
  • BGreen
  • CPink
  • DNone

Q9:

The diagram provided shows a simplified view of the different circulatory pathways in the human body. Which color line represents the hepatic portal circulatory system?

  • APink

  • DNone

Q10:

The diagram provided shows a simplified view of the different circulatory pathways in the human body. Which color line represents the pulmonary circulatory system?

  • ABlack
  • BGreen
  • CPink
  • DNone
