Level#1: Veins are blood vessels that carry blood toward the heart. Arteries are blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart. Capillaries are tiny blood vessels that connect arteries to veins.

1. What are the tiny blood vessels called that connect arteries to veins?



2. What is the job of the arteries?




3. In what direction do the veins carry blood?






Level#2: Veins are blood vessels that carry blood toward the heart. Arteries are blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart. Capillaries are tiny blood vessels that connect arteries to veins. Oxygen and nutrient molecules pass through the capillary membranes into body cells. At the same time, waste molecules from the body cells pass into the blood. These wastes are carried through veins back to the heart and into the lungs. You exhale some of the wastes into the air.

1. Where do waste molecules from body cells go?




2. Which blood vessels carry wastes back to the heart and into the lungs?




3. Where do the wastes that you exhale go?






Level#3: Veins are blood vessels that carry blood toward the heart. Arteries are blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart. Capillaries are tiny blood vessels that connect arteries to veins. Oxygen and nutrient molecules pass through the capillary membranes into body cells. At the same time, waste molecules from the body cells pass into the blood. These wastes are carried through veins back to the heart and into the lungs. You exhale some of the wastes into the air. Blood transports nutrients, oxygen, and wastes, and fights infection. About 55 percent of blood is a liquid called plasma. This liquid carries nutrients and wastes throughout the circulatory system.

1. Explain the job the blood does for the body.





2. Explain what plasma is and what percent of the blood it makes up.





3. What job does plasma do?

Level#1: The heart is the main organ of the circulatory system. It is about the size of a closed fist. The heart is made of cardiac muscle. The heart works by pumping and relaxing. These actions keep blood flowing throughout the body.

1. How does your heart work





2. What type of muscle is your heart made of?





3. What does the pumping and relaxing of the heart do?







Level#2: The heart is the main organ of the circulatory system. It is about the size of a closed fist. The heart is made of cardiac muscle. The heart works by pumping and relaxing. These actions keep blood flowing throughout the body. The heart is divided into four parts or chambers. The two top chambers are called atria (singular atrium). The bottom two chambers are called ventricles. Valve open and close to control the direction of blood flow.

1. What is the heart divided into?





2. What are the two top chambers and two bottom chambers called?





3. What controls the direction of the flow of blood in the heart?









Level#3: The heart is the main organ of the circulatory system. It is about the size of a closed fist. The heart is made of cardiac muscle. The heart works by pumping and relaxing. These actions keep blood flowing throughout the body. The heart is divided into four parts or chambers. The two top chambers are called atria (singular atrium). The bottom two chambers are called ventricles. Valve open and close to control the direction of blood flow. First, blood flows into the right atrium. From there, it is pumped in the right ventricle. Then, arteries carry the blood to the lungs. In the lungs, the blood picks up oxygen. Now, the oxygen-rich blood returns to the left atrium through large veins. The heart pumps the blood into the left ventricle. From there, it moves through the aorta and out to the body. The blood delivers nutrients and oxygen to all cells.

1. Explain the structure of the heart and what the valves do.








2. Explain in detail the flow of blood from the heart to the rest of the body.

Directions: ANSWER USING COMPLETE SENTENCES! Use the information you have been given to answer questions about: The Endocrine System.

Level#1: There are many different kinds of endocrine glands scattered throughout the human body. Endocrine glands produce chemical substances that are released directly into the bloodstream. These chemical substances are called hormones. Hormones regulate body functions.

1. What are there many of that are scattered throughout the human body?




2. What are hormones?





3. What does the body use to regulate body functions?





Level#2: There are many different kinds of endocrine glands scattered throughout the human body. Endocrine glands produce chemical substances that are released directly into the bloodstream. These chemical substances are called hormones. Hormones regulate body functions. Different endocrine glands produce different hormones. Each gland has different functions. The thyroid gland releases a hormone that controls how quickly the body uses energy. The pancreas makes a hormone that controls the amount of sugar in the blood. The endocrine system plays an important part in maintaining a healthy body.

1. What do the endocrine glands that are scattered throughout the human body do?





2. Describe what different endocrine glands do and what is "special" about each gland.








3. Give two examples of endocrine glands and what each gland does.

These chemical substances are called hormones. Hormones regulate body functions. Different endocrine glands produce different hormones. Each gland has  different functions. The thyroid gland releases a hormone that controls how quickly the body uses energy. The pancreas makes a hormone that controls the amount of sugar in the blood. The endocrine system plays an important part in maintainIng a healthy body. Hormones produced by endocrine glands help to keep the body's cells and tissues in balance. Endocrine glands accomplish this balance by making sets of hormones that have opposite effects. In this way, the two hormones balance each other's effects.

1. What system is important in maintaining a healthy body?






2. Explain what hormones produced by the endocrine system do and how they do it.
