About Cardiovascular and Lymphatic Systems
GoConqr OriginalWhat the page covers
This unit sits in the Integument, Circulation and Respiration strand of Anatomy. The listed resources follow the circulation from the heart outwards: the pericardium and chambers, the coronary vessels, the aorta and its branches, arteries and veins of the limbs, head and brain, and finally the lymphatic vessels and drainage.
Where to start
Begin with the heart. The mind map THE HEART sets out the pericardium as a double-layered serous membrane that protects the heart and holds it in position. The quiz Heart anatomy then tests the structure and function of the pericardium, including its fibrous layer. The flashcard deck Anatomy of the Heart: Pericardium and Heart Chambers asks you to name marked regions and say where they sit relative to the sternum.
Moving on to vessels
Once the heart feels familiar, turn to the vessels. Work through these in order:
- The quiz Anatomy: Cardiovascular and lymphatic system: Vascular routes, which covers the layers of the artery wall, elastic and muscular arteries, and vasoconstriction.
- The mind map Abdominal aorta, which splits branches into ventral, paired and terminal groups.
- The quizzes Arteries of Right Upper Limb and Arteries of Head & Brain, which ask you to name labelled vessels such as the brachial, radial and basilar arteries.
Using quizzes and maps together
Read a mind map first to see how the branches connect. Then take the matching quiz without looking. Anything you miss goes back onto a flashcard deck such as Lecture Exam 2: Chapter 15: Cardiovascular System, which asks about anastomoses, angiogenesis and why arteries are thicker than veins. For embryology, the deck Cardiovascular USMLE covers the dilatations of the primitive heart tube.
Lymphatics and extras
The lymphatic material includes the quiz Lymphatic System and mind maps on lymphatic vessels and drainage of the gut. There are also notes on the foramen ovale and the ductus arteriosus. Choose one topic today, try its quiz, and then make your own set of maps and flashcards to match.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Start with the mind map THE HEART, which lays out the pericardium and its role, then take the quiz Heart anatomy to check what stuck. After that, move to the vessel resources, beginning with the quiz on vascular routes and the Abdominal aorta mind map.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource on this page is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself, so styles and depth vary from one quiz, map or deck to the next.
What do the mind maps cover?
The mind maps range across the heart, heart valves, coronary circulation, the aorta and its branches, veins flowing into the right atrium, venous drainage of the lower limbs, the external carotid artery, and lymphatic vessels and drainage. Several are simply titled Heart, so compare a few.
Who are these resources for?
They are mostly university-level, so they suit university students and professional candidates revising anatomy, and teachers who want ready-made material. One listed resource mentions BTEC Health and Social Care, but the page is not organised around a particular exam.
Is there anything on the lymphatic system?
Yes. You will find quizzes such as Lymphatic System and Lymphs, flashcards on lymphatic anatomy and pathophysiology, and mind maps on lymphatic vessels and gut drainage. If you need a topic that is missing, you can make your own quiz, map or flashcards.
Can I test myself on labelled diagrams?
Yes. The quiz CVR Anatomy Set 1 Quiz - Cardiovascular blood supply asks you to identify numbered labels, and Heart Diagram offers similar practice. The limb and head quizzes also ask you to name arteries, so you can practise recognising structures, not only recalling definitions.
