 What is the circulatory system?

The circulatory system carries blood and dissolved

substances to and from different places in the body.

The Heart has the job of pumping these things around

the body.

The Heart pumps blood and substances around the

body in tubes called blood vessels.

The Heart and blood vessels together make up the

Circulatory System.

How does the Heart work? STEP ONE

blood from the body enters by the

__________ ________ ________
blood from the lungs enters
through the
___________________
________________

The heart beat begins when

the heart muscles relax and
blood flows into the atria.
How does the Heart work? STEP TWO

The atria then contract and

the valves ________ to allow blood
into the ventricles.
How does the Heart work? STEP THREE

The valves __________ to stop

blood from flowing
backwards.

The ___________ contract

forcing the blood to leave
the heart.

At the same time, the atria are

relaxing and once again filling
with blood.
The cycle then repeats itself.
 The components of the heart:
Blood from the heart gets around the body
through blood vessels:

There are 3 types of blood vessels

a. ___________

Arteries carry blood

Veins carry blood towards from the
_____________________________.
veins have ________
which act to stop the
blood from going in the
wrong direction.
thin muscle and body muscles surround the veins so
elastic fibres that when they contract to move
the body, they also squeeze the
veins and push the blood along the
vessel.
 The CAPILLARY
Capillaries link ______________ with

they exchange
materials between the
blood and other body
cells.
Where do we know gases

 SUMMARY
copy and complete the following;

away from the heart. The walls of an artery

Arteries take blood ______

muscular walls and elastic fibres. Veins

are made up of thick _________

towards the heart and also have valves. The

carry blood ________

capillaries link arteries and veins, and have a one cell thick wall.
_________

plasma the liquid part of the

Blood is made up of four main things ______,

oxygen White Blood cells to protect

blood; Red Blood Cells to carry ______;

platelets to help blood clot.

the body from disease and _________
Identify the parts of the blood vessel:
Blood Components and facts
Graphic Organizer
 Blood Types
Four main types of blood:
______ _______ ________ ______
Different proteins found on the RBC and
plasma determine the blood type.
You can also be Negative or Positive
 How do you know who can
donate to who?
By the antigens and antibodies
located in the plasma and on the Red
blood cell.
Blood type A Blood type B Blood type AB Blood type O

A Antigens B Antigens AB Antigens No Antigens

Antibodies in Antibodies in Antibodies in Antibodies in

the plasma the plasma the plasma the plasma
 So what does all this mean?
1. When a certain blood type donates to
another blood type, the antibodies and
antigens can NOT aggulate (or clump
together)

2. If they clump together these two types

CAN NOT donate to each other!
3. The blood clumps and makes it difficult to
pass through the blood vessels forming
blood clots!
 Blood Transfusions:
The transfusion will work if a person who
is going to receive blood has a blood
group that doesn't have any antibodies
against the donor blood's antigens. But if a
person who is going to receive blood has
antibodies matching the donor blood's
antigens, the red blood cells in the
donated blood will clump
 Blood Typing activity
Lets try and see who can donate and
receive blood from whom.
 Here is what happens:
If Type B gives to Type A:
Why did type A blood clump together?

Because Type B
has anti-A
antibodies and
they fit with
the antigens on
type A causing it
to clump!

With your partner answer the following questions:
1. Who can Type A donate to?

2. Can Type B donate to Type AB? Why?

3. Which Type is considered the Universal

hemoglobin

Person feels tired,

weak & short of
breath
Cure: Add iron to diet
 Sickle Cell Anemia

Genetic disease
RBC are sickle shaped
RBC cant pass through capillaries well
Blood clots, lack of oxygen to cells.
Can be deadly

help to _______
________________.
When there is an injury or
invasion of bateria/virsus the
number of WBCs
_____________ in that area.
WBCs numbers go back to
normal after fighting off the
infection.
 WBC disease: Leukemia
Blood cancer
WBC count increases abnormally
Usually increases to 73k or above
#s dont decrease after time
Leukemia WBCs dont fight infections
Bone marrow is busy making bad WBC
instead of RBC, which leads to a lack of
oxygen

Platelets

Platelet number is low
Blood clots cant form Genetic disease

marks contain a chemical
that starts clotting
Trouble clotting

Atherosclerosis
Plaque builds up in the
arteries that supply O2
to the heart.
Can cause a heart attack
because blood flow is blocked from
getting to the heart.
