Did you know… • The body of an adult contains over 60,000 miles of blood vessels! • An adult's heart pumps nearly 4000 gallons of blood each day!
Capillaries Arteries Veins
ARTERIES • Carry blood AWAYfrom heart • Have THICKERwalls
Blood flows FASTER • HIGHpressure
Pulmonary arteries: • Carry DEOXYGENATED blood to the LUNGS
Coronary arteries: • Carry OXYGENATED blood to the myocardium (heart muscle)
Aorta: • Largest artery Carriesoxyblood to the rest of the body
Capillaries Arteries Veins
VEINS • Carry blood TOthe heart
VEINS • Have THINNERwalls • LESSpressure • No PULSEcan be felt
Pulmonary veins: • Carry OXYGENATED from the LUNGS back to the heart
Superior Vena Cava: • Veins that transports DEOXYGENTATED blood from the upper part of the body back to the heart
Inferior Vena Cava: • Veins that transports DEOXYGENTATED blood from the lower part of the body back to the heart
Coronary veins: • Carry DEOXYGENATED blood from the myocardium (heart muscle) to the vena cava
Artery Vein
Capillaries Arteries Veins
CAPILLARIES • TINYblood vessels • CONNECTarteries to veins
Walls are very THIN • Walls are one ONE CELL thick
CARBON DIOXIDE andother WASTE PRODUCTS move from the BODY CELLS back into the BLOOD • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q530H1WxtOw
ARTERIES CAPILLARIES VEINS
Arteries of the lower leg & blood supply to the face & skull
What would happen if the coronary artery that transports oxygenated blood to the heart gets blocked?
What would happen if the artery that transports oxygenated blood to the brain gets blocked?
Let’s summarize… • Identify the three types of blood vessels. • Why are arteries very muscular? • Identify where each type of blood vessel carries blood. • Why are capillaries so thin? • Why do veins have valves? • In which blood vessel is your pulse felt? Explain why. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiqfNHC0lG0
VEINS Review: Identify the type of blood vessel. • Low blood pressure • Where diffusion or exchange of substances occurs. • Contains valves • Carry blood away from the heart • Connects arteries and veins • Carry blood away from the heart • Red blood cells move in single file • Elastic and flexible. • Used to feel pulse. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVJJHw_Ocp4 CAPILLARIES VEINS ARTIERIES CAPILLARIES ARTERIES CAPILLARIES ARTERIES ARTERIES
