 Reviewing Concepts
If the statement is true, write “true.” If it is false, change the underlined word or words to make
the statement true. Write your answer on the line provided.

_________________________19. The human circulatory system consists of the heart, the blood
vessels, and the blood.

_________________________20. Oxygen-rich blood is pumped by the right of the heart through

the lungs.

_________________________21. Blood returning to the heart from systemic circulation is laden

with carbon dioxide.

_________________________22. Valves in the heart ensure that blood moves through the heart
in a two-way direction.

_________________________23. In the circulatory system, the exchange of nutrients and

wastes occurs in the arteries.

_________________________24. Red blood cells are produced in the periosteum.

Reviewing Terms - Respiratory
On the line provided, write the letter of the matching term. Each choice can be used once, more
than once, or not at all.

_____1. main passageway to the lungs a. pharynx

b. epiglottis
_____2. muscle that controls breathing as it contracts and relaxes c. larynx
d. trachea
_____3. flap of tissue that prevents food from entering the trachea e. bronchus
f. bronchioles
_____4. structure into which air enters after leaving the pharynx g. alveolus
h. diaphragm
_____5. tube through which air travels from the trachea to the lungs

_____6. passageway from the mouth and nose to the rest of the respiratory system

_____7. dome-shaped muscle that separates the chest cavity from the abdominal cavity

_____8. part of the respiratory system where the vocal cords are located

_____9. structure whose common name is the windpipe

_____10. small air passageways found inside the lungs

_____11. small air sac that is surrounded by a network of capillaries where gas exchange
takes place

Reviewing Concepts
Complete each statement by underlining the correct word or phrase in the parenthesis.

12. The function of the respiratory system is to bring about the exchange of oxygen
and (carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide).
13. After they are inhaled, particles are trapped in the mucus layer that coats much of
the respiratory system. Then (cilia, alveoli) sweep the particles away from the
lungs.
14. During inhalation, the diaphragm (relaxes, contracts).

B B
C

15. The structure labeled A in the diagram above is the (larynx, trachea).
16. Each of the structures labeled B in the diagram leads to (a lung, the heart).
17. The structures labeled C in the diagram finally end in (tiny air sacs, pleural
membranes).
18. A network of (intercostal muscles, capillaries) surrounds each of the structures in
the diagram labeled D.
