Describe how the Circulatory, Digestive, Respiratory and Urinary systems work together to maintain
homeostasis within the body
Describe the structure of a hemoglobin molecule (ensure you describe how many chains are present and what
names are given to the chains – see Figure below). How many oxygen molecules (O2) does each
hemoglobin molecule carrier within the blood stream? Assuming a person has 25 trillion (from textbook)
RBCs in his/her body and each RBC picks up the maximum amount of oxygen each time through the lungs,
how many oxygen molecules will be carried to all the tissues in one complete circuit of the person’s blood
through the lungs?
Define all words in BOLD if they are referenced directly in the questions below.
Describe how many chambers are found in the heart and their names (be specific). What is the function of
each chamber (be specific).
Name the 3 main circulatory systems within the body. Label the
following Figure to the right.
Describe the cardiac cycle (see Figure 10.11 and the Figure below)
Describe the different types of blood vessels found within the body. Describe their structure (see Table
10.1). What is a capillary bed?
What is Blood Pressure? How is it measured? What are normal readings for a healthy individual? How does
blood pressure change within the circulatory system? (see Figure 10.19).
