OBJECTIVES
1. Identify the components of the circulatory system.
2. Describe the structures and functions of the heart.
LESSON OVERVIEW
In this activity, you will learn about the highly organized structures of the circulatory system.
Humans and most animals are complex, multicellular organisms that require a mechanism for
transporting nutrients throughout their bodies and for removing waste products. The blood, heart,
and the complex network of blood vessels work jointly to reach all parts of the body. It looks like a
highway system that runs throughout every cells, tissues, and organs of our body. The activity also
introduce s how respiratory and circulatory systems work together to sustain a healthy body
that everyone needs to keep us safe and free from illness.
NOTE:
Open your Science book on pages 8 to 15.
Watch a short video clips posted in our Group Chat about Circulatory System.
ANALYSIS:
Using the graphic organizer below, fill in the missing parts, descriptions, and functions to
complete the entire concept.
Label the different parts of the heart based on the diagram below.
Use the following words in the Word Bank to identify the different parts of the heart.
WORD BANK
aorta right ventricle right pulmonary artery
superior vena cava left ventricle right pulmonary vein
inferior vena cava tricuspid valve left pulmonary artery
right atrium mitral valve left pulmonary veins
left atrium apex
GENERALIZATION
