Vocabulary • Oxygenated • Aorta • Vena cava
4 stations: • Poster showing how blood gets transported throughout the body, the types of vessels it travels in, and the names of the main vessels • Model showing the structure of arteries and veins. Include labels. Please take a picture of it and email it to me (jbaranowsky@tasok.net) • How does the structure of the capillary system allow materials to be exchanged?
