Instructions for Side by Side Printing
  1. Print the notecards
  2. Fold each page in half along the solid vertical line
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal dotted line
  4. Optional: Glue, tape or staple the ends of each notecard together
  1. Verify Front of pages is selected for Viewing and print the front of the notecards
  2. Select Back of pages for Viewing and print the back of the notecards
    NOTE: Since the back of the pages are printed in reverse order (last page is printed first), keep the pages in the same order as they were after Step 1. Also, be sure to feed the pages in the same direction as you did in Step 1.
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal and vertical dotted line
To print: Ctrl+PPrint as a list

24 notecards = 6 pages (4 cards per page)

Activity 4: Pulmonary Circulation and Identifying Vessels of the Pulmonary Circulation

front 1

How does the pulmonary circulation differ from the systemic circulation?

back 1

It does not serve the metabolic needs of the body tissues.

front 2

What tissue is primarily associated with pulmonary circulation?

back 2

Lung tissue

front 3

What is the main function of the pulmonary circulation in regards to blood?

back 3

Brings blood into close contact with the alveoli to exchange carbon dioxide with oxygen

front 4

The arteries of the pulmonary circulation are structurally like what blood vessels?

back 4

Veins

front 5

The arteries of pulmonary circulation create what type of pressure in the lungs?

back 5

Create a low-pressure bed in the lungs

front 6

The healthy artertial pressure in the systemic circulation is what?

back 6

120/80

front 7

The pressure in the pulmonary artery is about what?

back 7

24/8

front 8

The bronchial arteries provide what to the lungs?

back 8

Functional blood

front 9

The bronchial arteries diverge from what portion of the descending aorta?

back 9

Thoracic aorta

front 10

Pumonary circulation begins with what artery? (Hint: also a trunk)

back 10

Pulmonary trunk

front 11

The pulmonary trunk leaves which ventricle?

back 11

Right ventricle

front 12

The pulmonary trunk divides into what 2 sets of arteries?

back 12

1. Left pulmonary arteries

2. Right pulmonary arteries

front 13

The right and left pulmonary arteries go into which organ?

back 13

The lungs

front 14

After entering the lungs, the right and left pulmonary arteries subdivide into which set of arteries?

back 14

Lobar arteries

front 15

How many lobar arteries are there on the right side?

back 15

3 on the right side

front 16

How many lobar arteries are there on the left side?

back 16

2 on the left side

front 17

The lobar arteries branch extensively in the lungs to form what type of blood vessel?

back 17

Arterioles

front 18

The arterioles terminate where?

back 18

In the capillary networks surrounding the alveolar sacs

front 19

Respiratory gases diffuse across at which 2 locations?

back 19

1. Walls of alveoli

2. Pulmonary capillaries

front 20

The pulmonary capillary beds are drained by what blood vessels?

back 20

Venules

front 21

The venules converge to form larger veins and finally what 4 veins?

back 21

The four pulmonary veins

front 22

How many pulmonary veins leave each lung?

back 22

2 pulmonary veins leave each lung

front 23

The 4 pulmonary veins return to which chamber of the heart?

back 23

Left atrium

front 24

Identify the blanks.
