[|circulationwiki.ppt] Here's the picture to study, guys! You're right, it wasn't in the PowerPoint, but here it is for your edification.

 * Circulatory System in Animals**
 * 1) Found in cnidarians, used for digestion as well as circulation. (Gastrovascular Cavity)
 * 2) Found in annelids and more complex animals (Closed Circulatory System)
 * 3) Found in arthropods (Open Circulatory System)
 * 4) Reptiles and amphibians have this type of heart (Three-chambered)
 * 5) The fluid in open circulatory systems.


 * The Mammalian Heart**
 * 1) The mammalian heart has how many chambers? (4)
 * 2) The right side of the heart pumps what type of blood? (oxygen-poor)
 * 3) The main artery leading out from the heart (Aorta)
 * 4) The cardiac cycle is made up of two phases (Diastole and systole)
 * 5) The middle space between the two sections. (atrioventricular septum)


 * Blood Vessels**
 * 1) These carry oxygen-rich blood (arteries)
 * 2) These are the small, hair-like vessels (Capillaries)
 * 3) The intermediate vessel carrying oxygen-poor blood. (venules)
 * 4) This artery/vein leads to/from the lungs (pulmonary)
 * 5) These veins lead directly into the heart (vena cava)


 * Blood Cells**
 * 1) Blood is suspending in this fluid (plasma)
 * 2) This is another term for white blood cells (leukocytes)
 * 3) What functions do platelets serve? (clotting)
 * 4) What is the blood's "sealant"? (fibrin/fibrinogen)
 * 5) The hormone used to produce red blood cells (erthropoeitin)


 * Blood/Heart Diseases**
 * 1) A defect in one or more valves of the heart (heart murmur)
 * 2) What is blood doping? (Using hormones to produce RBC)
 * 3) This disease is characterized by the lack of clotting (hemophilia)
 * 4) Which type of lipoprotein is associated with the development of plaque in arteries? (low density)
 * 5) This is the hardening of one's arteries (atherosclerosis)


 * Other Presentations**
 * 1) The "master gland" (pituitary)
 * 2) Also known as the "funny bone" (humerus)
 * 3) The two //compartments// of digestion (intra- and extra-cellular)
 * 4) The long, tail-like part of the nerve cell (axon)
 * 5) Where is the trapezius? (back of the neck/shoulders)
