Lesson Objectives

  • Describe what the Circulatory System does

  • Know the parts of the circulatory system and how they work together

  • Know the parts of the respiratory system and how they transport air

10

What does the circulatory system do?

  • Every organ in your body needs both oxygen and nutrients to survive

  • The Circulatory system: The collection of organs that delivers oxygen, nutrients, immune cells, and hormones throughout the body and takes waste away

    • Hormones: Chemicals in your body that start important chemical reactions in cells

media

11

What are the parts of the Circulatory System

  • Your Circulatory system consists of three parts

    • Heart

    • Blood Vessels

    • Blood

media

12

The Heart

  • Heart: A muscular pump that drives blood around the body

    • Is about the size of your clenched fist

  • Has four chambers

    • Right Atrium and Right Ventricle

    • Left Atrium and Left Ventricle

  • The Right side of the heart sends blood to the lungs to get oxygen

  • The Left Side of the heart takes blood from the lungs and sends it to the rest of the body

media

13

What happens when the heart Pumps

  • Your heart pumping is an involuntary movement

  • Every heartbeat begins in the atria and pushes blood down into the ventricles

  • Once the ventricles fill up, they push blood out to its final location

    • Valves open and shut to keep blood moving in one direction and produces the "Lub-dubb" sound

      • Lub: closing of the atria

      • Dubb: Closing of the ventricles

Drag and Drop

The heart has ​
chambers that blood flows through. The ​
chambers take in blood without oxygen and send it to the lungs, while the ​
chambers send oxygenated blood to the rest of the body.

Multiple Choice

Why does blood only flow in one direction?

1

Gravity always pulls blood downwards

2

The brain sends signals to every blood cell to tell them where to go

3

The Valves of the heart close when full

4

Because Harry Stiles Said so

5

Because Everything in your body only goes in one direction

18

Parts of Blood-Plasma

  • Blood is made up of four parts

  • Plasma: A liquid that contains water, protein, hormones, nutrients, and wastes

    • About 55% of blood

    • carries blood throughout the body

media

19

Red Blood Cells

  • Most people have a flat donut shape

  • Transport oxygen to the body tissues

    • Contain the protein Hemoglobin that binds to oxygen

media

20

White Blood Cells

  • Are part of the Immune System

  • Fight/eat foreign bacteria

  • Different types do different things

media

21

Platelets

  • Small cells that form clots at wounds

    • Help prevent blood loss

media

22

What are Blood Vessels?

  • Blood Vessels: tubes that carry blood throughout the body

    • Three main types

      • Arteries: Carry Blood Away from the heart to organs

      • Veins: Carry Blood to the Heart

      • Capillaries: Thin-walled Vessels where molecules travel from the blood to body tissues through diffusion

        • Are only a single cell thick

  • Blood Travels throughout the body in about one minute

media

23

Multiple Choice

What is the main role of White Blood Cells

1

To carry DNA through out the Body for repairs

2

To carry Oxygen throughout the Body

3

To Form Clots

4

To protect the body from foreign invaders

26

The Respiratory System

  • Takes in Oxygen and gets rid of Carbon Dioxide

media

27

Parts of The Respiratory System

  • Nose and Mouth: Entrance point for oxygen, the exit point for Carbon Dioxide

    • The nose contains hairs to trap dust and other particles

  • Pharynx: Connection between the nose and the rest of the throat

media

28

Parts of The Respiratory System

  • Larynx: Your Voice Box, where air and vocal cords produce sound

29

Parts of The Respiratory System

  • Trachea: "The wind Pipe", a tube in the throat that has stiff rings to keep it open

  • Leads to the lungs

media

30

Parts of The Respiratory System

  • Bronchi: Tubes that split off of the trachea, and continue to branch off into smaller branches

  • Alveoli: Small Sacs at the end of the Bronchi where Gas exchange occurs

    • Oxygen enters the blood and Carbon Dioxide leaves the blood.

media

31

Parts of The Respiratory System

  • Diaphragm: A muscle at the bottom of your rib cage

    • Contracts and relaxes to allow more air into the lungs

      • Changes the pressure in the body to allow more air to flow

    • When irritated, it spasms and causes hiccups

media

What do the hairs in your nose do?

1

Trap particles that don't belong in your body

2

Absorb Oxygen that directly travels to your brain
