QUIZ #2: Circulatory & Respiratory Systems
(30 marks… including 1 mark for showing up today)

1) List the four components of blood (4 marks):
  • Plasma
  • Erythrocytes/ Red Blood Cells
  • Leukocytes/ White Blood Cells
  • Platelets

2) Fill in the blank with the appropriate term from the list below. (8 marks)
left atrium, tricuspid valve, aorta, pulmonary vein, septum, pulmonary artery, right ventricle, inferior vena cava, right atrium, left ventricle, superior vena cava
left atrium: receives oxygen-rich blood from the lungs via the pulmonary vein
pulmonary artery: the blood vessel that carries oxygen-poor blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs
pulmonary vein: the blood vessel that carries oxygen-rich blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart
right ventricle: pumps the blood into the pulmonary artery
tricuspid valve: the flaps between the right atrium and the right ventricle. It is composed of three leaf-like parts and prevents the back-flow of blood from the ventricle to the atrium
aorta: carries oxygen-rich blood from the left ventricle of the heart to the body
inferior vena cava: a large vein (a blood vessel carrying blood to the heart) that carries oxygen-poor blood to the right atrium from the lower half of the body
septum: the muscular wall that separates the left and right sides of the heart

4) Complete the statements below (4 marks):
During inhalation, the diaphragm contracts/moves down
During exhalation, the diaphragm relaxes/moves up
During inhalation, oxygen gas is brought into the body.
During exhalation, carbon dioxide gas is expelled from the body.

5) Name on similarity and one difference between the human and fish or frog (2 marks).
Similarity: Frog – pharynx, esophagus, lungs, bronchus
            Fish – atrium, ventricle; closed system; blood flows atrium to ventricle
Difference: Frog – gills; gulp air; use moist skin; chest doesn’t expand
            Fish – 2 chambers, gills for oxygen; one system; one circuit

6) Identify eight of the labels below (8 marks) 



7) Match the following terms to their explanation: Bronchitis, Bronchial Asthma, Carbon Monoxide Poisoning (3 marks): *Read carefully as you can only use each term once!
Bronchial Asthma: Shortness of breath, coughing, wheezing (due to narrowing of the air passageways)
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Nausea, headaches, dizziness, confusion, loss of consciousness
Bronchitis: Inflammation of the bronchi and bronchioles (virus)

QUIZ #3
The Digestive & Excretory Systems
(total of 25 marks - 1 mark for showing up)

   1)      Label the following diagram (5 marks):
(ureter, urinary bladder, urethra, kidney, urethral sphincter)




   2)      List the three ways that the human and fish excretory systems differ  (3 marks):
·          Removal of ammonia
·          Salt/water regulation
·          Urine release
   3)      Define the following (4 marks):
a.       Ingestion: taking in of nutrients
b.      Digestion: the breakdown of complex organic molecules into smaller components by physical and chemical means
c.       Absorption: the taking up of digested molecules into the cells of the digestive tract
d.      Egestion: the removal of waste food materials from the body

   4)      Match the following terms to their function below (10 marks):
(  mouth, epiglottis, esophagus, liver, stomach, pancreas, gallbladder, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, anus)
   Anus: where solid waste is expelled from the body
   Mouth: involved in physical and chemical breakdown of food
   Liver: produces bile
   Esophagus: wave like movement brings food to stomach
   Pancreas: produces enzymes for breakdown of macromolecules in a juice
   Epiglottis: directs food away from trachea
   Gallbladder: concentrates the bile and stores until needed
   Small intestine: nutrients are absorbed
   Large intestine: water is absorbed and bolus becomes feces
   Rectum: storage of solid waste until expelled

   5)      What causes diarrhea? (2 marks)
   –peristalsis occurs to quickly
   –water is not absorbed in the large intestine
