Study Guide for Thursday's Assessment

Here is the Review Powerpoint for the Circulatory and Respiratory Assessment.

Circulatory & Respiratory Study Guide

Both Systems:

Major structures & functions

• Circ. - Heart, blood vessels, blood
• Resp. - Lungs, diaphragm, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli

How the systems work together to collect & distribute oxygen & eliminate wastes (CO2) - Essay question

Circulatory System:

Functions of the chambers of the heart:  

• Atria - Collection, Ventricles - Pumping chambers

Blood flow throughout the heart & body

• PHSchool.com, code CEP-4031

Cardiovascular health - Diseases & preventions

• Heart attack, stroke, high blood pressure & atherosclerosis
• Healthy diet, avoid smoking, fatty/salty foods

Respiratory System:

Gas exchange process - What happens in & around around the alveoli in the lungs - Essay (see above)

Mechanics of breathing - Role of diaphragm in breathing

• PHSchool.com, code CEP-4041

Gasses in the air - Oxygen = 21%

Air passages & how they help in maintaining respiratory health

• Moisten, heat & filter the air we breathe

May 1st - Pig Heart Dissection

A great day to dissect pig hearts!  Thank you parent volunteers for giving us your time and expertise!

The kids amazed me with their focus and knowledge!  Great job.

Here is a video of a student tracing the blood flow in the heart.

Here are some pictures from today's lab.

Monday April 29th - Wrapping up the Circulatory System

Hi All,

Today we are finishing up our work on the circulatory system.

Here is a review video to watch on the blood flow.



After you are done watching this you can go to this link and complete the interactive quiz.
Label the Heart

Here is one more link from Nova on the Human Heart.

Here is the image of the hear that you will use to trace the blood flow.  Remember you will have a word ban kto help you out, but you need to identify the parts and how the blood moves.

Thursday April 25th - Blood FLow in the Heart

Watch my video on the flow of blood in the heart.

Wednesday April 24th - Heart and Blood Flow

Today we reviewed the structure and function of the circulatory system.

We also introduced the heart.  Specifically we looked at the parts of the heart and how the blood flows through it.

Here are some pictures from the work we did today.
