Lesson 1 – What is the circulatory System?
• The circulatory system moves material around the body–Parts: Blood, heart, blood vessels
It brings food and oxygen to body cells and removes cells’ wastes.
Functions of Blood
•Carries food, water, and chemicals to cells and wastes away from cells
Plasma
•Parts of cells, used to form blood clots (scabs)
Platelets
•Carry oxygen to the body
RBCs
•Protect body from germs and foreign matter
WBCs
PlateletsPieces of cells that float in the blood. They stop bleeding if a blood vessel is cut. They clump together and stick to edges of a cut. They form long sticky threads and “jam” up a cut.
PlasmaCarries food and water to cells and carries wastes away. Carries chemicals around body. The “fluid” part of blood
RBCsCarry oxygen to body cells. Bright red while they carry oxygen, then dark red without oxygen
WBCsProtect body against germs and harmful things. Wrap around and break down germs, waste matter, dead cells, cels with germs, make chemicals to kill germs
Body makes more white cells if needs to fight infection

Blood Vessels• http://www.smm.org/heart/heart/circ.htm• http://vimeo.com/12746026
3 main types:• 1. Arteries– Carry blood AWAY from <3
• 2. Veins– Carry blood TOWARD <3
• 3. Capillaries– Connect arteries to veins– Allow exchange of oxygen, nutrients, and other materials b/w
blood and cells
ARTERIES• Carry blood away from the heart-
– Thickest walls
– Carry oxygen-rich blood to the body
VEINS
Carry blood that needs oxygen back to the heart.- Thinner walls than arteries
CAPILLARIES
VALVES
• A Faucet is a type of valve. What does a valve do???
VALVES• They are flaps that act like doors to keep
blood flowing in one direction. • They open to allow blood to flow to the heart
and close if blood begins to flow away from the heart.
• They are found in VEINS ONLY!!!!!!!!
DO NOW
• Lay your hand (palm side up) on their desk and count how many times you can open and close your hand for one minute.
• What is your hand doing?? • What part of the body might your hand
represent???
DO NOW:
• What are the 4 parts of blood and briefly say what each does
• What are 3 three types of blood vessels
THE HEART!• Procedure• Help the students locate their pulse points either on their wrists or
necks. Ask students to place their right index and middle finger on the palm side of their left wrist. On the neck, the pulse point is located beneath the ear and jawbone. How do I find my pulse?
• Count the number of beats in 15 seconds. Multiply this by four (15x4=60, there are 60 seconds in one minute). This is how many times the heart beats in one minute. Have students enter this "at rest" heart rate on their chart. (Student pulse rate at rest will vary between 60 - 110 beats per minute. Adult rates are lower.)
• Do some exercise such as running in place, jumping jacks, or other exercise for one minute. Stop and calculate pulse again over 15 seconds. Calculate the heart rate for each activity and show this on the graph.
Parts of the Heart
• Heart is a double pump.• Right side:– Collects blood that already went to the body and
sends it to the lungs• Left side:– Collects blood that came from the lungs and is rich
in OXYGEN and sends it to the arteries to go to the body
