2.  What are the two circuits of the cardiovascular system?

· 

3.  Which side of the heart is responsible for the circuit that oxygenates your blood?

4.  Which side of the heart is responsible for the circuit that conveys oxygenated blood to the body tissues?

5.  Name the two types of heart valves, and give examples of each:

· 

6.  Blood entering the right ventricle passes through the ______valve from the ______, and exits through the ______valve into the ______. Blood travels this vessel on its way to the ______to get oxygenated. It exits these organs through the ______veins, and enters the ______on the left side of the heart. This pathway completes the ______circuit.

It passes into the left ventricle through the ______valve, and exits via the ______valve. The major vessel responsible for carrying this blood to the body is called the ______. Upon passing capillary beds in organs, blood enters the veins, which all flow into the major vein entering the heart, called the ______. This completes the ______circuit.

7.  What is the significance of the papillary muscles and chordate tendinae?

8.  Which of the compartments of the heart needs to produce a great amount of force? Why?

9.  Define prolapse. What is its effect on cardiac output?

10.  What vessel is responsible for cardiac blood supply?

11.  Define angina pectoris:

What are some causes for angina pectoris?

12.  Define myocardial infarction:

What happens to cells downstream of the obstruction?
