All animal cells need _________________and
____________________ to survive. The ____________________ is the
pumping organ that carries these needed materials throughout the body.
The human heart has _______________ parts, or chambers. Human blood
travels in a certain path. Blood from the body returns to the heart, where it
is then pumped to the _______________. Here the blood trades carbon
dioxide (waste) for _____________________ (yummy). This blood returns
to the heart and is then _______________________ to all cells in the body.
The circulatory system _______________ oxygen-rich blood to each
cell in our body. This system is made up of the _______________,
______________ __________________, and ________________. Blood is
a connective tissue made up of a liquid part, called ___________________,
and solid parts called _______ __________ __________, _____________
__________ _____________, and _____________________. Blood leaves
the heart through vessels called ___________________ and returns to the
heart through blood vessels called _______________. Smaller vessels,
called _______________________, have direct contact with all cells in the
body, and allows the exchange of materials between the cells and the blood.
A group of organs and tissues working together to exchange carbon
dioxide and oxygen from the body and the environment make up the human
___________________ _____________________. The main organs of our
respiratory system are the ___________________.
Systems work together within our bodies to enable us to carry out
everyday activities. We inhale air using our respiratory system. The oxygen
then moves into blood, which is part of the __________________ system.
Conversely, we produce carbon dioxide within our bodies. This “waste” is
moved from cells in the body to our lungs through the circulatory system
(blood), and then removed by _________________. Capillaries and
__________ ____________ have thin walls between them that allow for this
exchange of gases in the lungs.
On a side note: Understanding the “vessels” in our body
When you see the word “vessel” in our text books, think of these other
words; arteries, veins, and capillaries. All of these are vessels that carry
oxygen-rich blood from the heart to cells or waste material from the cells to
the heart. These vessels are the “highways” of our bodies. Look at the
pictures and read the insets on pages 158 and 159 of your text, and then
draw and label a diagram showing the vessels of an organism. Use the space
below and different colors. Show me you know the direction the blood
flows in certain vessels and the size difference between the vessels.
Vocabulary Building: Use your book or your memory to match the word with the
description to the right. You can NEATLY draw a line to the correct match or write the
letter next to the word.
