Systemic Circulation Glossary Quest Activity

There are so many major blood vessels to cover during a systemic circulation unit in Human Anatomy and Physiology that putting the morphological, physiological, condition, and classification terms on the back burner is tempting. This four-page table set addresses that problem. Using a standard course textbook, students will paraphrase and record the definitions for over forty essential terms related to the systemic circulation.

This table series divides the terminology into the following sections:

• Non-coronary circulation pathways
• General blood vessels
• Blood vessel classification
• Blood vessel layers
• Vein classification by location
• Blood pressure
• How venous blood flows back to the heart
• How the heart and blood vessels affect blood pressure
• Maintaining homeostasis
• Distribution of blood flow
• Circulation and blood vessel disorders

Activity Benefits:

• The lesson serves as a guided read for any standard human anatomy and physiology textbook
• Writing the definitions helps with learner retention
• The table layout groups the words by subtopic into an ideal chapter outline
• Students can listen and learn without taking cumbersome notes during topical PowerPoint presentations, videos, and teacher input if they can do this assignment beforehand or afterward

Other Product Features:

• It comes with a four-page key with the answers in bold, red font
• It complements the other unit resources I published
• Prepares students for the unit exam I published
