All-Star students will take the Circulatory System Test this Friday, December 11th. This test is worth 100 points and will contain some cumulative questions from previous units we have studied this year.  Please bring a #2 pencil to class.  Part of the test will be recorded onto a scantron answer sheet.   Index Cards= +2 pts

**Current Events will be presented on THURSDAY this week since we are having the test on Friday.**

Students should study all of the material in their binder; do nows, notes, homework assignments, labs, and handouts.

Study Guide: 

· Function of the Circulatory System

· Components of Blood

     Cells (RBC, WBC, Platelets) = 45%

     Know the structure and function of each

     Where are blood cells produced?

     Plasma = makes up 55% of our blood

     What is the major component of plasma?

     What dissolved substances are traveling in the plasma?

· Blood Types

     What determines blood type?

     What is present on the RBC of type:

     A?   B?   AB?   O?

     What is the Rh factor?   How does this factor affect blood type?

     Blood Transfusions (ABO Blood Type Lab)

     What happens if an individual receives the wrong blood type in a transfusion?

     What blood type is the universal donor? Why?

     What blood type is the universal recipient? Why?

· Blood Vessels

     Purpose of blood vessels in the body

     Structure and function of arteries

     Structure and function of capillaries

     When blood leaves the heart what is the order of blood vessels the blood

     travels through before returning to the heart again?

     What is blood pressure?   Which blood vessels have the highest?   lowest?

     Which chambers contain oxygen poor blood?    oxygen rich blood?

     Pathway of Blood Flow:  be able to trace the pathway of blood flow

     given a starting point any place in the circulatory system (VRAV  PAV  LAVA)

     Include all structures blood is flowing through (heart chambers, blood vessels, organs ,etc.)

     Indicate where blood is oxygen poor and oxygen rich,   where the exchange of materials occurs

· Disorders/Diseases  -  know the description of:

     Hypertension (high blood pressure), Atherosclerosis/Arteriosclerosis, Arrhythmia, Stroke
