CIRCULATORY

SYSTEM

THE HUMAN HEART

What is the job of the Circulatory System? The Circulatory System is responsible for transporting materials throughout the entire body. It transports nutrients, water, and oxygen to your billions of body cells and carries away wastes such as carbon dioxide that body cells produce. It is an amazing highway that travels through your entire body connecting all your body cells. The following are the three major parts of the circulatory system, with their roles: 1. Heart –pumps the blood throughout the body 2. Blood vessel –carries the blood throughout the body

Arteries - carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the cells,

tissues and organs of the body. Veins- carry deoxygenated blood to the heart

Capillaries - the smallest blood vessels in the body, connecting the

smallest arteries to the smallest veins. - the actual site where gases and nutrients are exchanged

3. Blood –carries the materials throughout the body The Heart The Heart is an amazing organ. The heart beats about 3 BILLION times during an average lifetime. It is a muscle about the size of your fist. The heart is located in the center of your chest slightly to the left. Its job is to pump your blood and keep the blood moving throughout your body.

The Blood The blood is an amazing substance that is constantly flowing through our bodies.

Your blood is pumped by your heart. Your blood travels through thousands of miles of blood

vessels right within your own body. Your blood carries nutrients, water, oxygen and waste

products to and from your body cells. A young person has about a gallon of blood. An adult has

about 5 quarts. Your blood is not just a red liquid but rather is made up of

liquids, solids and small amounts of oxygen and carbon dioxide.

The Blood Vessels In class we talked about three types of blood vessels: Arteries Capillaries Veins

Arteries Arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygen rich blood AWAY

from the heart. Remember, A A Arteries Away, A A Arteries

Away, A A Arteries Away. Capillaries Capillaries are tiny blood vessels as thin or thinner than the

hairs on your head. Capillaries connect arteries to veins. Food substances (nutrients), oxygen and wastes pass in and out of your blood through the capillary walls.

Veins Veins carry blood back toward your heart.

Let’s now have the different types of

circulation. We have 3 types and they are

Pulmonary Circulation, Coronary Circulation and

Systemic Circulation.

Pulmonary Circulation Movement of blood from

the heart, to the lungs, and

back to the heart.

Coronary Circulation

Movement of blood

through the tissues of the

heart.

Systemic Circulation

Movement of blood from

the heart to the rest of the

body, excluding the

lungs.

The heart has four chambers: two atria and two

ventricles.

The right atrium receives oxygen-poor blood from the

body and pumps it to the right ventricle.

The right ventricle pumps the oxygen-poor blood to the

lungs.

The left atrium receives oxygen-rich blood from the

lungs and pumps it to the left ventricle.

The left ventricle pumps the oxygen-rich blood to the

body.

RESPIRATORY

SYSTEM

What is the respiratory system? Your respiratory system is made up of the organs in your body that help you to breathe. Remember, that Respiration = Breathing. The goal of breathing is to deliver oxygen to the body and to take away carbon dioxide.

Parts of the respiratory system

Lungs The lungs are the main organs of the respiratory system. In the lungs oxygen is taken into the body and carbon dioxide is breathed out. The red blood cells are responsible for picking up the oxygen in the lungs and carrying the oxygen to all the body cells that need it. The red blood cells drop off the oxygen to the body cells, then pick up the carbon dioxide which is a waste gas product produced by our cells. The red blood cells transport the carbon dioxide back to the lungs and we breathe it out when we exhale.

Trachea The trachea (TRAY-kee-uh} is sometimes called the windpipe. The trachea filters the air we breathe and branches into the bronchi. Bronchi The bronchi (BRAHN-ky) are two air tubes that branch off of the trachea and carry air directly into the lungs. Diaphragm Breathing starts with a dome-shaped muscle at the bottom of the lungs called the diaphragm (DY-uh-fram). When you breathe in, the diaphragm contracts. When it contracts it flattens out and pulls downward. This movement enlarges the space that the lungs are in. This larger space pulls air into the lungs. When you breathe out, the diaphragm expands reducing the amount of space for the lungs and forcing air out. The diaphragm is the main muscle used in breathing.

Assessment Card #2:

All animals need to ________________ materials around to the different parts of their body. This is the job of the ________________

system. The circulatory system consists of a liquid called _______________, a pump called the ________________ and a series

of vessels called _________________ and ________________.

One thing that must be transported around is a gas called _____________. Oxygen enters the blood through the

______________. It is then ____________ through the heart and around the body where it is used along with food to make ______________. The body produces another gas called

_______________, which is a waste product. This gas is carried back to

the heart and then to the lungs where it is released back into the _______________.

The vessels that transport blood _________ from the heart are called arteries. The blood in arteries is _____________ red because it is rich in oxygen. The vessels that transport blood _______________ the heart

are called veins. The blood in veins is ______________ red because it is low in oxygen. ________________ are small vessels that join the

arteries and veins.

_______________ from food are also transported around the body by the circulatory system. They enter the blood from the small

_________________. The circulatory system also helps to regulate temperature by transporting _________________ around the body.

Use the words in the box to fill in the blanks.

All animals need ________________ to make energy from food. We get this oxygen from the _____________ that we breathe. In order to get the oxygen into the blood where it can be transported to the rest

of the body, the air travels through a system of organs called the _______________ system.

When you ________________, air enters the body through the _______________ or the ____________. From there it passes through the ______________, which forces air into the _______________ and

food into the esophagus. The air travels down the trachea into two branching tubes called ________________ and then on into the

________________.

In the lungs oxygen from the air enters the _______________. At the same time, the waste gas ____________________ leaves the blood and then leaves the body when you ___________________. Some

__________________ also leaves the body when you exhale, which is why mirrors get foggy when you breathe on them. The ______________ is the muscle that controls the lungs.

It is important to keep the respiratory system clear so oxygen can keep flowing into your body. If something gets in your nose and irritates it, you ___________________. If something gets in your

trachea or bronchi and irritates it, you _________________. If something irritates your diaphragm, you _________________. Finally, if the brain thinks you are not getting enough oxygen, then it forces

you to _________________.
