Systemic Arteries Mapping Activity - Cardiovascular System

Exits everywhere! What is blood to do in its journey as it leaves the heart in the aorta? Which series of conductance vessels should it take to reach its capillary? Your human anatomy and physiology students will map out the possibilities in this three-page activity. They will be able to use the optional master artery word bank I provided.

This reinforcement lesson highlights the following significant arteries and artery sets: abdominal aorta, anterior tibial, aortic arch, ascending aorta, axillary, basilar, brachial, brachiocephalic, celiac, common carotid, common iliac, coronary, descending aorta, dorsalis pedis, external carotid, external iliac, femoral, gastric, gonadal, hepatic, inferior mesenteric, intercostal, internal carotid, internal iliac, lumbar, popliteal, posterior tibial, radial, renal, splenic, subclavian, superior mesenteric, thoracic aorta, ulnar and vertebral.

I included a full-page key with the answers in bold font.

I appreciate your interest. I have been teaching the high school biological sciences since 1995 and have over twenty years of publishing experience. I am confident this resource will serve you and your students well!
