Human Body Systems (Cont’d): The Circulatory System

Students will work on the the circulatory system as they will focus upon the major heart chambers, the key blood vessels, and blood cell types. In addition to knowing the major functions of the circulatory system, students will be expected to trace a drop of blood throughout the body such as from the right atrium to get back to the left atrium. The key components involved will be the pump itself, the heart chambers; the transport mechanism, the major blood vessels; the gaseous exhange center, the lungs; and the filtering center, the kidneys!
