CW
Organ Systems 1
Date
Starter (attempt in your book)
Excretory System
Where food is broken down so that nutrients can be
absorbed back into the body.
Circulatory System
Allows animals to reproduce.
Respiratory System
Lets you think about, feel and respond to your environment.
Digestive System
Stores and removes waste from your body.
Nervous System
Removes oxygen from the air and absorbs it into the body.
Reproductive
System
Transports things around the body including blood.
Learning Outcomes
 Outcome
 Identify the organs in the circulatory and respiratory
systems.
 Explain the role of each system within the human body.
 Describe differences between the different blood
vessels..
Circulatory System
● The circulatory system is made up of
the heart, veins, arteries and capillaries.
Heart
Lungs
● The heart keeps all the blood pumping
around your body.
● The blood travels through the veins,
arteries and capillaries carrying oxygen
to your organs and taking waste carbon
dioxide back to the lungs to be
removed.
Veins /
arteries /
capillaries
Nose
Respiratory System
● The respiratory system is made up of
the nose/mouth, trachea, lungs and
diaphragm.
● Oxygen is breathed into the body and
circulated around to the organs by the
circulatory system.
● Carbon dioxide is removed by the body
in the lungs and breathed back out.
Mouth
Diaphragm
Trachea
(windpipe)
Lungs

Blood Vessels
There are three types of blood vessel: arteries, veins and capillaries.
Why are they important?

tissues.
True

body.
False
4. The only blood vessel that contains a valve are the
veins.
True
5. Carbon dioxide waste from body tissue travels in the
plasma back to the heart and lungs to be disposed of.
