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
