5. Function: To transport materials around the body Oxygen Carbon dioxide Digested food Hormones Waste chemicals - urea Heat

6. http://www.sciencefin der.co.uk Compostion of Blood ( what blood is made up of) A liquid called plasma Red blood cells White blood cells Platlets

7. http://www.sciencefin der.co.uk Composition of Blood Plasma: This is the liquid part of the blood It carries heat helping to keep body temperature at 37 0 C It carries dissolved substances such as CO 2, hormones e.g. Insulin and wastes e.g urea.

8. http://www.sciencefin der.co.uk Composition of Blood Red blood cells Doughnot shaped Red pigment called haemoglobin which carries oxygen in the blood. Red blood cells carry oxygen.

9. http://www.sciencefin der.co.uk Composition of Blood White Blood cells Fight disease Produce antibodies to fight bacteria etc. Gobble up harmful bacteria etc.

10. http://www.sciencefin der.co.uk Composition of Blood Platelets Fragments of larger cells. Help clot the blood and seal wounds. What is haemophilia?

11. http://www.sciencefin der.co.uk There are THREE types of blood vessels ARTERIES carry blood away from the heart Thick, muscular, stretchy wall narrow central tube

12. http://www.sciencefin der.co.uk VEINS carry blood towards the heart thin walls with little muscle wide central tube have valves

13. http://www.sciencefin der.co.uk CAPILLARIES carry blood between arteries and veins wall only one cell thick very narrow central tube

14. http://www.sciencefin der.co.uk Thick muscular walls Divided into 4 chambers Right side pumps blood to lungs Left side pumps oxygenated blood from the lungs to ALL parts of body

15. http://www.sciencefin der.co.uk The heart is divided into FOUR chambers Right Ventricle Right Atrium Left Atrium Left Ventricle

16. http://www.sciencefin der.co.uk The heart has four major blood vessels VENA CAVA PULMONARY VEIN AORTA PULMONARY VEIN VENA CAVA

17. http://www.sciencefin der.co.uk

18. Red blood cell collects OXYGEN in the lungs 2 The oxygenated cell travels along the pulmonary vein to the LEFT ATRIUM

19. http://www.sciencefin der.co.uk Oxygenated blood carried to ALL parts of body via the AORTA

20. http://www.sciencefin der.co.uk Deoxygenated blood carried back from all parts of body via the VENA CAVA

21. http://www.sciencefin der.co.uk Deoxygenated blood sent back to the lungs for oxygen via the PULMONARY ARTERY

22. http://www.sciencefin der.co.uk Inside every cell oxygen is used in RESPIRATION to produce WATER + CARBON DIOXIDE +

23. http://www.sciencefin der.co.uk Draw a flow chart Show the route of a red blood cell 1. Starting at lungs and moving via heart to arm 2. Leaving the arm and returning back to the lungs 3. Labelled oxygenated blood cells (red), deoygenated blood cells (blue), the heart, lungs, arteries and veins

24. http://www.sciencefin der.co.uk HEART LUNGS VEIN carrying deoxygenated blood back to heart ARTERY carrying oxygenated blood to leg Circulatory system Artery – red Vein - blue

26. http://www.sciencefin der.co.uk Double Circulation Left side Oxygenated blood from the lungs enters the heart and is pumped to the body organs and tissues Right side Deoxygenated blood from the body is returned to the heart to be pumped to the lungs

27. http://www.sciencefin der.co.uk Systemic – to the organs of the body Pulmonary system – up to the lungs OXYGEN CARBON DIOXIDE

28. http://www.sciencefin der.co.uk Structure of the heart

29. http://www.sciencefin der.co.uk You need to be able to label all parts of the heart

30. http://www.sciencefin der.co.uk LEFT SIDERIGHT SIDE Left ventricle – has a thicker muscle wall than right side – why? Right ventricle valve right atrium ? Blood from lungs Blood from ?

31. http://www.sciencefin der.co.uk Body organs

32. http://www.sciencefin der.co.uk LEFT SIDERIGHT SIDE Left ventricle Right ventricle valve right atrium Left atrium Blood from lungs Blood from ? Blood to the ?

33. http://www.sciencefin der.co.uk

34. Beating heart – blood flow The valves prevent the backflow of blood.

35. http://www.sciencefin der.co.uk

36. How do the valves work? How many can you see?

37. http://www.sciencefin der.co.uk Atrium and ventricle muscles force the blood through and out of the heart out in Can you see the 4 valves?

38. http://www.sciencefin der.co.uk VALVE between the atrium and ventricle Ventricle wall Ventricle chamber

39. http://www.sciencefin der.co.uk Artery CapillaryVein Carry blood away from the heart Wall only one cell thick. Large lumen Small lumen No valves Usually have deoxygenated blood. Very elastic- walls can stretch Connect arteries to veins Low pressure No valves Leaky so that substances can pass out Carry blood to the heart. Have valves that stop blood moving the wrong way Usually have oxygenate blood

40. http://www.sciencefin der.co.uk Heart disease Arteriolosclerosis is a disease where the arteries harden or thicken. Caused by smoking and cholesterol in the diet. Leads to high blood pressure and increased risk of heart attack.

41. http://www.sciencefin der.co.uk The Pulse Rate Pulse = throbing sensation due to pressure of blood against the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps the blood. The average adult heart beats about 70 times per minute. It can be measured by taking your pulse rate for example at the wrist. Your pulse rate is a measure of how fit you are.

42. http://www.sciencefin der.co.uk Measuring your pulse rate Find your pulse at the wrist, neck or temple. Using a stop watch count the number of pulses in a minute. How would you show the effect of exercise ón pulse rate? What effect do you think exercise will have?
