Systemic Circulation Exam A Cardiovascular System

This listing features a four-page exam about systemic circulation for students taking Human Anatomy and Physiology or Advanced Biology. The assessment covers the following subtopics and skills:

• Identify up to 70 major blood vessels among the body regions
• Classify blood passageways as capacitance, resistant, and conductance vessels and explain the functions and patterns of each
• Map the flow of blood to and from the heart to targeted locations throughout the body
• On a smaller scale, identify the body region and the connecting vessels from any provided starting point of the vascular pathway.
• Cite the morphological and physiological similarities and differences between arteries and veins
• Diagram the flow of blood through a capillary
• Identify the substances that diffuse in and out of a systemic capillary (i.e., O₂, CO₂, nutrients, waste products)
• Explain all terms relating to blood pressure from the measurement process to factors that affect blood pressure
• Explain environmental factors that affect blood distribution within the body
• Define relevant medical conditions (i.e., atherosclerosis, aneurysm, hemorrhage, varicose veins, etc.)

This product includes a four-page key with the answers in bold red font. The PDF file will become editable upon conversion to Microsoft Word using an Adobe Acrobat DC Reader app.

I also published a Systemic Circulation Exam B. The second test is ideal for retakes or for offering a different version. It has the same layout as this one. Approximately seventy-five percent of the questions and question choices are different. The remaining tasks are the same but rearranged.

I appreciate your interest. I have taught high school biological sciences for over twenty-five years and have over twenty years of publishing experience. I am confident this assessment set will serve you and your students well!
