Vessel card (textbook facts)
vessel blood goes from blood goes to oxygen in the blood W the right ventricle the lungs low X the lungs the left atrium high Y the left ventricle the body high Z the body the right atrium low Noah reads a card of four vessels, W, X, Y and Z. Using direction and oxygen together, which statement is true?
- W and Z are both veins, because both have low oxygen
- X and Y are both arteries, because both have high oxygen
- W and Y are both veins, because both leave the heart
- W and Y are both arteries, even though W has low oxygen
Lung oxygen card (textbook facts)
place oxygen (mm Hg) air in the alveoli 100 blood arriving in the lung capillaries 40 blood leaving the lungs in the pulmonary veins 100 Pia reads a card of oxygen at the lungs. Using the card and the route of blood, which statement is true?
- Oxygen diffuses into the blood at the alveoli, and the pulmonary arteries carry it to the left atrium
- The lungs make oxygen that enters the blood, and the pulmonary veins carry it to the left atrium
- Oxygen diffuses into the blood at the alveoli, and the pulmonary veins carry it to the left atrium
- Oxygen diffuses into the blood at the alveoli, and the pulmonary veins carry it to the right atrium
Run card (model data)
state heart rate (beats per minute) breathing rate (breaths per minute) resting 75 14 running 150 40 Ren reads the run card. Which statement uses both the breathing column and the heart column to explain how muscles get more oxygen?
- A faster heartbeat brings in more oxygen, and faster breathing carries it to the muscles
- Faster breathing means the lungs make more oxygen for a faster heartbeat to carry
- Faster breathing takes in more oxygen, and a faster heartbeat carries it to the muscles sooner
- A faster heartbeat sends blood from the left side to the lungs more often
Lung gradient card (model data)
time oxygen in alveolar air (mm Hg) oxygen in blood arriving (mm Hg) at rest 100 40 during a run 100 30 Zee edits a model of a run. Blood arriving at the lungs holds less oxygen than at rest. What follows at the alveoli?
- Oxygen moves into the blood more slowly, because the blood has less to give
- Oxygen moves into the blood faster, because the difference in oxygen is larger
- Oxygen stops moving, because the blood no longer needs any more
- The lungs make extra oxygen to fill the gap in the blood
Notebook (model data)
line what it says 1 The right atrium receives oxygen-poor blood from the body 2 The right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs 3 The left atrium receives oxygen-rich blood from the lungs 4 The left ventricle pumps blood to the lungs Bo reviews a classmate's notebook on the route of blood. Exactly one line is wrong. Which line, and why?
- Line 2, because the right ventricle pumps blood to the body
- Line 4, because the left ventricle pumps blood to the body
- Line 1, because the right atrium receives blood from the lungs
- Line 3, because the left atrium receives blood from the right ventricle
Esme reviews a classmate's notebook on blood vessels. Exactly one line is wrong. Which line, and why?
- Line 4, because the pulmonary arteries carry oxygen-poor blood
- Line 2, because veins carry blood away from the heart and arteries carry it back
- Line 3, because the swap of gases happens in the large arteries and veins
- Line 1, because arteries carry blood toward the heart and veins carry it away
Jun reviews a classmate's notebook on gas exchange. Exactly one line is wrong. Which line, and why?
- Line 1, because the blood arriving in the lungs holds more oxygen than the air
- Line 4, because carbon dioxide diffuses from the air into the blood at the alveoli
- Line 2, because diffusion moves oxygen from low amounts to high amounts
- Line 3, because the lungs take oxygen from the air and do not make it
Exercise card (model data)
state heart rate (beats per minute) stroke volume (mL per beat) cardiac output (mL per minute) resting 75 70 5,250 running 150 100 15,000 Kira reads the exercise card. Which statement does the card support?
- Cardiac output doubled, just like heart rate, because stroke volume did not matter
- Cardiac output grew to more than double, because stroke volume rose as well as heart rate
- Cardiac output stayed about the same, because the rises in rate and volume cancel
- Cardiac output grew by less than double, because stroke volume fell
Luz reads a graph of heart rate during and after a run. Which statement does the graph support?
- Heart rate was highest at minute 10, after the run stopped
- After the run stopped, heart rate kept rising until minute 10
- After the run stopped, heart rate fell but was still above 75 at minute 10
- After the run stopped, heart rate was back to 75 by minute 10
Blood flow card (model data)
place at rest (mL per minute) during a run (mL per minute) leg muscles 1,200 9,000 digestive organs 1,400 300 Milo reads the blood flow card for a rest and a run. Which statement does the card support?
- During the run, the digestive organs got 1,100 mL less per minute, so their vessels widened
- During the run, the leg muscles got 9,000 mL more per minute, so their vessels widened
- During the run, the leg muscles got 7,800 mL more per minute, so their vessels widened
- During the run, the leg muscles got 7,800 mL more per minute, so their vessels narrowed
