Circulatory System
Circulatory
System is a closed
circuit path
Blood cells follow
this path over, and
over, and over
again
E. Follow the path of a blood cell through the circulatory system

 Thin walled blood
vessels
 Site of gas exchange

 Every inch of your
body is covered in
hundreds of
capillaries
E. Follow the path of a blood cell through the circulatory system
Follow the Circulatory System
2-Vein:
 Pathway of blood headed
BACK to the heart
 Always deoxygenated
 With

Trivia Question:
Which species of animal has a
“second heart?”
 The frog is an important part of the horse's
circulatory system — it pumps blood up the
horse's leg each time the frog makes contact
with the ground. The blood flows down the
horse's leg into the digital cushion, a
fibrous part of the inner hoof located just
above the frog which contains a network of
blood vessels. The horse's weight then
compresses the frog on the ground,
squeezing the blood out of the digital
cushion, and pushing it back up the horse's
legs.
