Draw a diagram that compares systemic arteries, capillaries, and systemic veins in terms of cross-sectional area, blood pressure, blood velocity, and $\mathrm{O}_{2}$ content of blood.
Use the following diagram to review the flow of blood through a human cardiovascular system. Label the indicated parts, highlight the vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood, and then trace the flow of blood by numbering the circles from 1 to 10 , starting with 1 in the right ventricle. (When two locations are equivalent in the pathway, such as right and left lung capillaries or capillaries of top and lower portion of the body, assign them the same number.)
Make a chart that compares systemic arterics, capillaries, and systemic veins. Consider the following properties: structure, amount of smooth muscle; presence of valves; cross-scctional area; blood pressure; blood velocity; direction of blood flow relative to the heart; $\mathrm{O}_{2}$ content of blood.
