On the right side, fill in the chart with things you already know about the four sections (cardiovascular system, blood, lymphatic system, and respiratory system). Write with a pencil and you can draw pictures if you want.

Cardiovascular system components:

Heart

Arteries

Capillaries

Veins

Heart

4 Chambers:

right atria

left atria

right ventricle

left ventricle

valves separate chambers

aorta – major artery

vena cava – major vein

pulmonary artery and vein

Blood Vessels3 Types of Blood Vessels:

1. Artery

2. Capillary

3. Vein

Arteries• Arteries Always carry blood Away from the heart

• Thick walls to support pressure from heart pumping

• Usually bright red due to highly oxygenated blood

• Aorta – major artery supplying body’s blood

• Coronary artery – supplies heart’s blood

• Carotid artery – supplies brain’s blood

• Pulmonary artery – supplies lung’s blood (low O2 – darker)

Veins• Always take blood towards the heart

• Thinner than arteries

• Darker color due to less oxygenated blood

• Vena Cava – major vein returning body’s blood

• Jugular vein – vein returning brain’s blood

• Pulmonary vein – returning lung’s blood (high O2 – bright)

Capillaries• Smallest of all blood vessels – single file

• Where the diffusion of gases and other molecules takes place (things entering and leaving your blood)

• No cell in your body is more than 3 or 4 cells away from a capillary

Blood Flow• Pulmonary Circulation – heart to lungs and back

• Systemic Circulation – heart to rest of body and back

Atherosclerosis When cholesterol builds up in the walls of blood vessels and restricts blood flow

Blood Pressure (hypertension) (hypotension)

Systolic – pressure in arteries when ventricles contract

Diastolic – pressure in arteries when ventricles relax

When it is too high, blood vessels can be damaged or rupture (aneurysm). Stroke – when blood flow is cut off to brain.

Heart Attacks / Heart Failure

Heart attack - when heart muscle cells die and part of the heart is damaged. Too many cells dying could cause the heart to stop. (cardiac arrest)

Heart failure – not enough blood being pumped to the body. Important organs may suffer or stop working.

Blood3 Functions:• __________ sends

nutrients and oxygen throughout your body

• __________ protects your body against antigens

• __________ clots to stop bleeding after a cut or bruise

Transport

Immunity

Healing

1% WBC and platelets

44% RBC

55% Plasma – mostly water

Brain Pop

aorta

right ventricle

pulmonary artery

oxygen

pulmonary vein

left atrium

left ventricle

Capillaries of the body

Vena cava

Carbon dioxide

Plasma

• Liquid

• Mostly _________

• Functions:– Transport

– Carries hormones and wastes

– Makes up 55% of the blood

H2O

Red Blood Cells (____________)

• Most numerous

• Formed in the bone marrow

• Functions: – Carries oxygen and nutrients to body and

waste back

– Filled with the protein hemoglobin, which contains iron (makes your blood red, like rust)

erythrocytes

White Blood Cells (____________)

• Larger than RBC’s

• Immunity

• Functions:– Fight off invading organisms (pathogens)

– Release antibodies to help identify pathogens

– Destroy damaged/infected cells

leukocytes

Platelets

• Small pieces of cells from bone marrow

• Functions:– Healing

– Collect around cuts and produce fibrin to make a net to stop bleeding

Blood Type

• Every person has one of four blood types: A, B, AB, or O. Your blood type refers to the type of antigens you have on the surface of your RBCs.

• Antigens – the markers that identify what kind of blood you have.

• Antibodies – the markers that look for foreign blood types to attack.

Brain Pop

• Transfusion – replacing your blood with someone else’s due to blood loss during surgery or an injury.

Type Can receive Can donate to

A A, O A, AB

B B, O B, AB

AB all AB only

O O all

Lymphatic System

Glue the body outline into your science log. Use the textbook page 617 as a guide to draw and label the lymphatic system.

ThymusLymph nodesLymphatic vesselsSpleenTonsil

Lymphatic System

• Like another circulatory system

• Group of tissues and organs that collects excess fluid and returns it to your blood

• Helps fight pathogens

Brain Pop

• Lymph capillaries – absorb fluid and small particles (dead cells/pathogens) near cells

• Lymphatic vessels carry this lymph back towards your neck where it drains into veins of the cardiovascular system

• Lymph nodes – small bean shaped masses of tissue that remove pathogens and dead cells from the lymph– Lymphocytes are types of WBC’s that fill

lymph nodes and attack pathogens

• Lymph nodes get swollen when you have an infection. Why???

• Thymus – gland that makes T cells ready to fight

• Spleen – soft and spongy organ that – produces lymphocytes– recycles old/damaged RBC’s

• Tonsils – tissue that stores WBC’s and fights infections

Respiration vs. Breathing

• Respiration – obtaining and using O2 and getting rid of CO2 and H2O

• Breathing – inhaling and exhaling

pharynx

lung

trachea

diaphragm

vocal cords

larynx

bronchus

bronchiole

alveoli
