  1. The Circulatory System and the Immune System

  2. Key Point #1The main function of the circulatory system is to pump blood and transport needed materials around the body.

  3. Key Point #2The main organ of the circulatory system is the heart. It pumps the blood so it can circulate to all of our body cells to deliver oxygen and remove carbon dioxide.

  4. PRACTICE WITH A PARTNER (7 MIN)Complete the worksheet “An Efficient System” with a partner. You may write on this. This will be graded.

  5. Key Point #3 When you do more physical activity, your heart pumps faster to deliver more oxygen and nutrients to the cells to create energy.

  6. Remember the Lab?What happened when we exercised?

  7. Key Point #4The circulatory system is also made up of blood vessels (tubes) called arteries, veins and capillaries.

  8. Which direction does blood in arteries travel? Which direction does blood in veins travel? What are the smallest blood vessels?

  9. Partner WorkRead the article “Tubes for Carrying Blood” and “Oxygen and Nutrient Carrier.” Answer the questionsThis will be graded.
