  1. The Circulatory System

  2. Warm Up • Write down three things you can do to keep your heart healthy

  3. The Circulatory System • This system carries food and oxygen to all the cells of the body. • It is made up of the heart, blood & blood vessels.

  4. The Circulatory has 2 big jobs • Big job # 1 – Carrying Food, Water, & Oxygen. • The circulatory system has the task of delivering the necessary “goods” to the cells. It’s like getting the newspaper each morning.

  5. Big Job #2 -Removing Wastes from the cells. • In our everyday activities we create waste. The wastes cannot stay in the cells. They would build up and prevent the cells from doing their job. • The circulatory system carries the waste to other parts of the body where they are filtered and removed from the body

  6. The Heart • The heart is a muscle. Its job is to pump blood to all of the cells in your body. • The heart is the strongest muscle in the human body. • It pumps the blood to your brain cells, nerves, and bone cells. • It pumps 24 hours a day without a break.

  7. FACTS ABOUT HEART • The Heart is about the size of your fist and is located in the middle of your chest. • Its upper chambers are the right atrium and left atrium. The lower chambers are the right ventricle and the left ventricle. • Arteries pump oxygen rich blood to your body; away from heart • Veins carry waste filled blood back to the heart and then to the lungs, to be cleaned and sent back out the the body.

  8. Terms • Red Blood Cells- Carry oxygen & carbon dioxide to & from the lungs. Produced in the bone marrow. • White Blood Cells- Destroy bacteria and are produced in the spleen.

  9. Terms • Blood Platelets- Aid blood in clotting to held stop bleeding. • Plasma- Liquid part of blood. About 90% water • Blood is made up of 45% cells and 55% plasma

  10. REVIEW • How is the circulatory system similar to a paper boy? • How big is your heart and were is it located? • What blood vessel carries blood to your cells, away from your heart? • What blood vessel carries blood back to your heart?

  11. Review continued… • Aid in blood clotting? • Which blood cells carry oxygen and carbon dioxide to and from the lungs? • Which blood cells destroy bacteria and where are these cells produced? • What is the liquid part of blood called? • Name 3 parts of the circulatory system. • Name 3 blood vessels.

  12. Capillaries • Capillaries are extremely small vessels located within the tissues of the body that transport blood from the arteries to the veins.
