4. Heart Practical – you are responsible for dissecting a sheep hear and identifying the following structures in a practical exam. Class notes will also be included in the exam.

Aorta	Aortic semilunar valve
Left and Right atria	Superior Vena Cava
Left and Right Ventricle	Chordae Tendonae
Bicuspid valve (left atrioventricular valve)	Papillary muscle
Tricuspid valve (Right atrioventricular valve)	Myocardium
Pulmonary semilunar valve	Endocardium
Intraventricular septum	Visceral Pericardium

5. Artery and Vein Practical- you are responsible for dissecting your cat to find the following veins and arteries. You will have to identify them in a practical exam, which will include material given in class notes.

anterior vena cava	posterior vena cava
Renal vein	internal and external carotid artery
subclavian vein	left and right subclavian artery
aorta	(left and right) brachial artery
femoral vein

6. Describe the location of the heart in the body and identify its major anatomical areas on a sheep heart or diagram.
7 . Trace the pathway of blood through the heart.
8. Explain the operation of the heart valves and their relationship to heart sounds.
9. Describe the intrinsic conduction system of the heart and how it relates to heart muscle contraction.
10. Compare and contrast the structure and function of arteries, veins, and capillaries.
11. Identify the body’s major arteries and veins and name the body region supplied/drained by each.
12. Explain how the lymphatic system is related to the cardiovascular system and the immune system.
13. Describe the function and location of tonsils, the thymus, Peyer’s patches and the spleen.
14. Given a diagram of major blood vessels in the body, be able to label those given in notes.
15. Know all material covered in class notes.
16. Read the chapter. Note: you are not responsible for the material on special circulations (p. 332-335 of Marieb)
17. As a review of the chapter, it is strongly suggested that you do the following review questions:
Marieb: pages 352-353 1-3, 5, 7, 9, 11-14, 16-18, 30, 32
