Study Notes
Al-Rushd Independent School
- Independent school located in an unspecified location
- Logo includes the school name in Arabic script and English
Circulatory System Learning Objectives
- Explain the function of the circulatory system
- Label a diagram of the heart
- Identify and describe three types of blood vessels
- Describe how the circulatory system delivers oxygen and nutrients to all cells
Key Words
- Arteries
- Veins
- Capillaries
- Heart
- Ventricle
- Atrium
- Vena Cava
- Aorta
- Pulmonary Chambers
- Oxygenated
- Deoxygenated
Starter Questions
- What is the plural of bronchus?
- What is a tissue?
- How does oxygen get to your cells?
What is the circulatory system?
- The circulatory system is a vital part of the body
- "Circulatory" means something that moves in a circle/loop
- This process happens continuously throughout the body
What is the circulatory system made of?
- The circulatory system consists of the heart and blood vessels
- Blood vessels include three types: arteries, veins, and capillaries
Circulatory System Functions
- Blood carries oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to cells
- Blood carries away waste products
Blood Circulation Details
- Oxygen enters the body through breathing, then transferred to the blood in the lungs
- Blood carries oxygen and other substances throughout the body
- Blood cells act like delivery drivers, dropping off vital substances and collecting waste products
Quick Fire Quiz
- Blood cells are like delivery drivers, transporting substances throughout the body.
Circulatory System Video
- Information about the circulatory system video is available, but the video itself is not included in the provided text
Double Circulatory System
- Humans have a double circulatory system
- Blood passes through the heart twice during each circulation loop of the body
The Heart
- The heart is central to the circulatory system, functioning as a pump
- The heart is a muscle that constantly pumps blood throughout the circulatory system, even at rest
- Heart chambers: right/left atrium; right/left ventricle
Parts of the Heart Functions
- Right atrium: receives deoxygenated blood from the body
- Right ventricle: pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs
- Left atrium: receives oxygenated blood from the lungs
- Left ventricle: pumps oxygenated blood around the body
Ventricles vs. Atria
- The ventricles have thicker walls to pump blood over longer distances
- The atria have thinner walls as these chambers only have to pump blood to the ventricles
Blood Vessels
- Blood vessels are tubes that carry blood around the body
- Three types of blood vessels: arteries, veins, capillaries
- Arteries: carry blood away from the heart (high pressure, thick walls, elastic)
- Veins: carry blood back to the heart (lower pressure, thin walls, contain valves)
- Capillaries: connect arteries and veins, exchange substances
Blood Vessels (Summary Table)
- Arteries: Carry blood away from the heart; high pressure, thick elastic walls
- Veins: Carry blood toward the heart; lower pressure, thin walls, contain valves
- Capillaries: Thin walls, connect arteries and veins, exchange substances
Blood Vessels (Types)
- Arteries: carry blood away from the heart.
- Veins: carry blood back to the heart.
- Capillaries: carry blood to tissues
