What is the circulatory system?

The body's breathing system

The body's system of nerves

The body's food-processing system

The body's blood-transporting system

From what source do cells get their food?

Blood

Oxygen

Other cells

Carbon dioxide

Why is oxygen important to blood and to the cells?

Oxygen helps the blood to clot.

Oxygen brings food to the cells.

Oxygen is necessary for cell growth and energy.

Oxygen is not important -- carbon dioxide is the most

important substance to the body.

Which type of blood vessels carries blood away from the heart?

Veins

Arteries

Capillaries

Arteries, veins and capillaries

Why is blood that flows from the lungs to the heart bright red rather than dark red?

Oxygen makes it red.

Carbon dioxide makes it red.

 Gastric juices produce the red colour of the blood.

The lungs add a pigment (dye) to blood as it flows

through them.

Plasma

Blood Components
Platelets

Red corpuscles

White corpuscles

What is the main job of the red corpuscles in the blood?

What would happen to people who have an open wound and whose blood did not clot
naturally?

They may bleed to death.

Nothing. Clotting is not important.

They would have to take regular doses of plasma.

They would have to take regular doses of platelets.

What happens when a clot occurred in an undamaged blood vessel?

You would bleed to death.

A scab will form on the skin surface.

Platelets stick to the edges of the cut and to one another,

forming a plug.

The flow of blood to tissues beyond the clot may be cut off.

What happens to blood when it is pumped into the thin-walled blood vessels of the lungs?

Platelets are exchanged for plasma.

Carbon dioxide is replaced with oxygen.

Blood fills the lungs and causes coughing.

Nothing -- the lungs are just a place blood goes through

on its way back to the heart.

What is the function of the blood vessels and capillaries?

They pump blood to the heart.

They filter impurities from the blood.

They carry blood to all parts of the body.

They carry messages from the brain to the muscles.

Why does blood turn dark red as it circulates through the body?
 It starts to clot.

It gets old and dirty flowing through the body.

The oxygen in it is replaced with carbon dioxide.

The farther blood is from the heart, the more dark red it is.

How many major types of blood have scientists discovered?
