CV system test – study hints

You need to know:

1)Label diagram of the heart – chambers, blood vessels

2)Functions of the Cardiovascular system

4)Know the different blood vessels that lead to the different chambers of the heart

5)Know what blood pressure is

What a normal reading is

What influence diet has on blood pressure,

What influence fitness levels have on blood pressure

6)Know oxygenated blood

7)Know deoxygenated blood

8)Know the different blood cells and their features – red, white (what they look like and functions)
