Level#1: 

There are many disorders that can happen to the circulatory system. In fact, heart disease is the most common cause of death of Americans. In 2001, more than 700,000 Americans died of heart disease. The most common disorders are high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart attacks, and strokes.

1. What are the most common disorders of the circulatory system?





2. How many Americans died of heart disease in 2001?





3. What is the most common cause of death of Americans?






Level#2: 

There are many disorders that can happen to the circulatory system. In fact, heart disease is the most common cause of death of Americans. In 2001, more than 700,000 Americans died of heart disease. The most common disorders are high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart attacks, and strokes. If you ever had a complete check-up, you probably had your blood pressure taken. A blood pressure reading measures how hard the heart is working. This reading can determine if you have high blood pressure.

1. What did you probably have taken if you ever had a complete check-up?





2. What does a blood pressure reading measure?





3. What can a blood pressure reading determine?

The most common disorders are high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart attacks, and strokes. If you ever had a complete check-up, you probably had your blood pressure taken. A blood pressure reading measures how hard the heart is working. This reading can determine if you have high blood pressure. High blood pressure, also called hypertension, is a sign that the blood vessels or heart are not working properly. High blood pressure may be caused by a variety of factors including diet, age, weight, and whether a person smokes tobacco. It can also be inherited from a previous generation. People with diabetes and kidney disease and who are pregnant are more likely to develop high blood pressure.

1. What do you have measured when you get a check-up, what does it measure, and what can be determined by this reading?

2. What is hypertension a sign of and what are its causes?

Directions: ANSWER USING COMPLETE SENTENCES! Use the information you have been given to answer questions about: Blood Types & RH Factor.

Level#1: There are four main blood types: A, B, AB, O. Different blood types are based on whether certain substances are present on the red blood cells. People who receive blood from a donor must get the right blood. The blood they get must match the blood type they are.

1. What needs to happen when a person receives blood from a blood donor?




2. How are the different blood types determined?



3. What are the four main blood types?





Level#2: There are four main blood types: A, B, AB, O. Different blood types are based on whether certain substances are present on the red blood cells. People who receive blood from a donor must get the right blood. The blood they get must match the blood type they are. There are other differences among blood cells besides blood types. Sometimes there is a substance on the surface of the a blood cell called Rh factor. Most people in the United States are called Rh positive. They have the Rh substance on their blood cells. People that do not have the substance on their blood cells are called Rh  negative.

1. What are the other differences found on blood cells besides blood type?






2. Regarding Rh factor, what are most people in the United States and what determines this?






3. What do you call the people that do not have the Rh substance on their blood cells?

Sometimes there is a substance on the surface of the a blood cell called Rh factor. Most people in the United States are called Rh positive. They have the Rh substance on their blood cells. People that do not have the substance on their blood cells are called Rh  negative. It is very important that a person getting a blood transfusion receives blood matching with their Rh. It is also important for a pregnant mother to know whether she is Rh positive or Rh negative. A difference between her blood and the unborn baby's can cause problems during delivery.

1. Explain the other differences among blood cells besides blood type, what most Americans are, and what determines this.






2. Explain what a person who does not have the Rh substance on their blood cells is and in what situation would it be important to match their Rh.

Directions: ANSWER USING COMPLETE SENTENCES! Use the information you have been given to answer questions about: The Solids in Blood

Level#1: 

There are three kinds of solids in blood: platelets, red blood cells, and white blood cells. Platelets are actually pieces of cells. They help blood cells to clump together. This action helps wounds to stop bleeding. Red blood cells deliver oxygen to other body cells. White blood cells fight infection.



1. What do platelets do to help wounds stop bleeding?






2. Why are red blood cells important?





3. Why are white blood cells important?









Level#2: 

There are three kinds of solids in blood: platelets, red blood cells, and white blood cells. Platelets are actually pieces of cells. They help blood cells to clump together. This action helps wounds to stop bleeding. Red blood cells deliver oxygen to other body cells. White blood cells fight infection. A protein in red blood cells delivers oxygen to other body cells. This protein, called hemoglobin, contains the mineral iron. Iron gives the blood cells their red color. White blood cells fight infection. They destroy harmful bacteria and defend the body against other harmful substances.



1. What is the name of the protein in red blood cells that delivers oxygen to other body cells and what mineral give red blood cells their color?





2. Why is it important for platelets to help blood cells clump together?





3. How do white blood cells protect the body?








Level#3: 

There are three kinds of solids in blood: platelets, red blood cells, and white blood cells. Platelets are actually pieces of cells. They help blood cells to clump together. This action helps wounds to stop bleeding. Red blood cells deliver oxygen to other body cells. White blood cells fight infection. A protein in red blood cells delivers oxygen to other body cells. This protein, called hemoglobin, contains the mineral iron. Iron gives the blood cells their red color. The more oxygen the protein carries, the brighter the color of the cells. White blood cells fight infection. They destroy harmful bacteria and defend the body against other harmful substances. You have fewer white blood cells than red blood cells. But, when your body is fighting an infection, the number of white blood cells can quickly increase.



1. Explain the job that white blood cells do in the in the body.





2. What do you have fewer of red blood cells or white blood cells?





3. Explain what happens to the number of white blood cells when your body is fighting an infection?
