TRANSPORT: Circulatory System
Honors students must answer all questions. On Level students are only required to answer questions with a * next to them.
Use your foldable and pg to help you with the following questions about the circulatory system.
*What is the function of the circulatory system? What organ systems does it interact with closely?
*What are the functions of the following organs or structures?
Heart __________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________
Blood Vessels (indicate direction of blood flow and specializations)
Arteries________________________________________________________________________
Veins__________________________________________________________________________
Capillaries______________________________________________________________________
*Indicate the order of blood through the types of vessels as blood leaves the heart and returns:
Heart  ________________  ________________  ______________  Heart
4. What are the functions of the four main components of blood?
Red Blood Cells__________________________________________________________________
White Blood Cells________________________________________________________________
Platelets________________________________________________________________________
Plasma________________________________________________________________________ G F I D A B E H C
Color the chambers/vessels to and from the heart using blue to represent deoxygenated blood, and red to represent oxygenated blood. ***Blood is NOT actually blue when it doesn’t have oxygen. It is just a little less red than it is when it does have oxygen.
