Circulatory System

Answer 1

Carries oxygen and nutrients to all the cells of the body. Collects waste for removal

Question 2

Blood vessels

Answer 2

Tubes that carry blood around the body

Question 3

Arteries

Answer 3

Tubes that carry blood pumped from the heart to other body parts

Question 4

Veins job and structure

Answer 4

Thinner walls than the artery and valves; Carry Blood to the right atrium of the heart (oxygen depleted)

Question 5

Capillaries

Answer 5

Carry materials (e.g oxygen and nutrients) to the cells and remove wastes by diffusing through the walls of the capillary.

Question 6

Plasma

Answer 6

Mostly water with substances carried in the blood (e.g waste products (some), glucose and CO2) are dissolved in blood cells. About 55% of blood

Question 7

Haemoglobin

Answer 7

Red pigment in red blood cells that carries OXYGEN (Chemical)

Question 8

Red Blood Cells Job

Answer 8

Carry oxygen and CO2 around the body. Bright red blood = Oxygen rich

Question 9

Platelets Job

Answer 9

Aids in clotting of blood; Responsible for healing by clumping together around a wound so the germs cannot get in

Question 10

White Blood Cells Job

Answer 10

Defense against diseases. Some engulf them while others produce antibodies which are chemicals that attack germs

Question 11

Fibrinogen Job

Answer 11

Clotting of blood

Question 12

Oxhaemoglobin

Answer 12

Haemoglobin with oxygen attached and is formed when oxygen reacts with the haemoglobin in red blood cells

Question 13

Red Blood Cells form from and can carry lots of oxygen because

Answer 13

Cells in bone marrow and lack a nucleus. They also have a large surface area that allows them to carry lots of oxygen

Question 14

White Blood Cells job and structure

Answer 14

Living Cells that fight bacteria and viruses. Part of the immune system. Larger than RBC and have a nucleus. Irregular Shape.

Question 14

Platelets

Answer 14

Small cell fragments involved in blood clotting. less than 0.01% of blood

Question 15

Plasma is made up of

Answer 15

Serum (Dissolved nutrients, waste minerals, gases, proteins, water and other substances) and fibernogen

Question 16

Septum

Answer 16

Thick Wall of tissue that seperates the right and left side of your heart

Question 17

Right Atrium

Answer 17

Heart receives oxygen depleted blood from the body (Veins)

Question 18

Right Ventricle

Answer 18

Squeezes and forces blood into the lungs where it releases CO2 and picks up oxygen

Question 19

Left Atrium

Answer 19

Oxygen rich blood comes back from lungs

Question 19

Left Ventricle

Answer 19

Blood pumped out from here all around the body

Question 20

Valves

Answer 20

Stop blood from flowing back where it came from
