Blood vessels that carry blood from the heart The tiniest blood vessels Parts of the respiratory system. Blood Vessels: The Vascular System. Taking blood from the heart to the tissues and back. Arteries. Arterioles. Capillaries. Venules. Veins. The Vascular System. 4. Differences Between Blood Vessel Types. Function. Blood Vessels. Types of Blood Vessels. Arteries. :. Carry blood away from the heart. Blood leaving heart starts off in large vessels called . arteries. Arteries become smaller in diameter as they branch out to spread through the body. Blood. Blood Vessels. The heart is the pumper of the circulatory system, but as the blood leaves the heart it travels through a network of vessels that all serve a very specific purpose.. Arteries. Capillaries. A . cell. . is the basic building block of all multicellular living organisms. Multicellular means made of many cells.. Cells are grouped into tissues…... A . tissue. . is a group of cells with similar . Learning objectives. To understand the functions of the circulatory system.. To be able to identify the differences between veins, arteries and capillaries. . To be able to identify and label the components of the heart.. SLO 2. Blood Vessels can be divided into five groups:. Arteries . Carry blood away from the heart towards tissues. The heart’s ventricles pump blood into the arteries. Blood Vessels. Arterioles. Small subdivisions of the arteries.  . 2. Once you have found a good pulse point, have a partner time you for 15 seconds and count the number of times you feel your pulse. ___________.  . 3. Multiply that number by 4 to get the resting beats per minute _____________. Blood Vessels P A R T A Blood vessels and circulation Blood is carried in a closed system of vessels that begins and ends at the heart 5 types of blood vessels Arteries – carries blood away from the heart What are the four main components of blood?. Describe the features of a red blood cell which aids it’s transportation of oxygen. Explain the journey an oxygen molecule takes from the alveoli to respiring tissues. The Body Functions. 3 . conditions are needed to maintain adequate blood flow in the body:. The heart must be working well. An adequate amount of oxygen-rich blood must be circulating in the body. The blood vessels must be intact and able to adjust blood flow. INTRODUCTION. The cardiovascular system is transport system of body. It comprises blood, heart and blood vessels. . The system supplies nutrients to and remove waste products from various tissue of body.. The circulatory system transports needed materials throughout out body including nutrients and gases (oxygen) and eliminates waste.. Our body would not receive the oxygen and nutrients we take in without the circulatory system.. Introduction . Red blood cells are characterized by a biconcave shape aids efficient navigation through narrow vessels.. Surface antigens on red blood cells determine individual blood types.. Lack of nucleus and organelles enables high hemoglobin concentration for oxygen transport.. How is a red blood cell adapted to carry out its function?. Apart from red blood cells, can you name any other examples of cells found in the blood?. How are substances transported around the body? .
