  1. How Blood Travels Through the Body!!

  2. 1st Paragraph A system of Blood Vessels carries the blood through the body. These vessels include arteries, veins and capillaries. These vessels and the heart make up the circulatory system.

  3. 2nd Paragraph Let’s follow that droplet of blood through the blood vessels. When it leaves the Left Ventricle of the heart, it goes into the Aorta. ………… The largest artery eventually divides in two……………This tiny vessel is a capillary. At this point the droplet nourishes the cells next to this tiny vessel and takes away the waste products.

  4. 3rd Paragraph Now that the blood has given up its Food and Oxygen it must return to the heart. It moves into a larger blood vessel. This blood vessel is called a Vein. This droplet joins other blood going back to the heart. The blood vessel becomes larger and larger. Finally, they all join one large blood vessel that receives all the blood from the lower part of the body. This blood vessel is called the Inferior Vena Cava. Another large blood vessel collects blood from the head and arms. This vessel is called the Superior Vena Cava. Both then separately enter the right atrium of the heart.
