1.1
The Circulatory
System
Mrs. Roza - 6D
Getting Started:

P.3
Learning Objectives:
Students describe the human circulatory system in
terms of the heart pumping blood through arteries,
capillaries and veins.
Students describe the heart’s function;
(limited to transporting oxygen, nutrients and waste)
Students know that many vertebrates have a
similar circulatory system.
Parts of the
circulatory
system

 Read P. 3 - 5 and
answer questions
in the next
slides.
 P.3-4
What is the circulatory system?
Name parts of the circulatory system.
What does the circulatory system do?
Where is the heart inside our body?
How is the heart protected?
What does the right side of our hearts do?
What does the left side of our hearts do?
Right side of Left side of
the heart: the heart:

bod.
P. 4-5
What is blood?
What does blood do?
What organs help with getting rid of waste products inside the body?
What are blood vessels?
What do blood vessels do?

P. 5
 Answers:
1.)
a. The heart pumps blood around the
body.
b. to supply all parts of the body
with food and oxygen and to remove
waste products from different parts of
the body.

Questions 2) The heart muscle contracts as it

pumps the blood

P. 5 3)To pick up oxygen that is carried in

the blood to the rest of the body.
 Answers:
4) They each have different jobs to do
to ensure that all parts of the body
get food and oxygen, and that waste
product are removed from different
parts of the body. Arteries carry blood
containing oxygen and food to all parts
of the body. Veins carry blood from
Questions different parts of the body back to
the heart. Capillaries join arteries and
veins, bring oxygen and food to the
P. 5 body cells, and take away waste.
 Answers:
5) The heart pumps blood in arteries to
the lungs to pick up oxygen. The
oxygen-rich blood travels back in veins
to the heart. The heart pumps the
oxygen-rich blood in other arteries to
the rest of the body. The blood from
the rest of the body, which is now low
in oxygen, travels back to the heart in
Questions veins.

 Answers:

1) Heart, blood, arteries and veins.

Activity 1
P. 6
 Answers:
2) In humans, the blood is pumped from the
heart to the lungs. The blood then goes back
to the heart before it is pumped to the rest
of the body and returns again to the heart.
In the fish, blood is pumped from the heart
to the gills and to the rest of the body
before it goes back to the heart. In the frog,

Activity 2
P. 10
 Answers:
Pulse rates can vary according to fitness, age, gender
and time of day, as well as emotions.
For example;

Our hearts beat faster when we are nervous.

Fit people generally have lower pulse rates than
unfit people.
Activity 2 Males usually have lower pulse rates than
females.
Young children usually have higher pulse rates
P. 10 than adults.
