Circulatory System Unit Exam: Friday December 12th
-Circulatory system (ex: function, how it works to maintain homeostasis with other systems in the body)
-Blood (ex: structure/function of the components, where they are produced, hemoglobin, fibrin, and how the blood transports nutrients/hormones)
-Blood types (ex: which protein markers are found on each of the four main types of blood, what is Rh factor, accurately determine safe transfusion from/to each type, universal donor and universal recipient)
-Blood vessels (ex: purpose, structure, and function of all three types, pressure found in each type, vessel of diffusion of materials, vessel with valves and why, Heart Rate Lab and Pulse Recovery, graph interpretation)
-Heart (ex: location/function of each of the chambers, diagram identification of parts and oxygen rich/poor blood, septum, pacemaker)
-Pathway of blood flow (ex: trace a drop of blood as it travels through the system, be prepared to name the chambers and blood vessels involved)
-Disorders/Diseases (ex: know the descriptions of all four diseases researched in the computer lab)
