Unit 4 Circulatory, Respiratory and Excretory System Test Date Project Due Lesson 1 The Cardiovascular System Homework: read pages 176-179 and take notes Warm up 1. 2. 3. 4. Finding Target Heart rate (220 age) x.65 = 65% fitness level (220 age) x.85 = 85% fitness level In order to be considered physically fit you must reach your target heart rate for 30 consecutive minutes, 3 days a week. The top formula calculates your heart rate at a 65% fitness level and the bottom formula calculates your heart rate at an 85% fitness level. - As you become more physically fit your resting heart rate can decrease over time due to the fact that it doesn t have to work as hard. - heart - made of cardiac muscle tissue - 2 sides - right side pumps oxygen-poor blood to the lungs - left side pumps oxygen-rich blood to the body - each side has 2 chambers - upper chamber atrium - lower chamber ventricle - valves - located between chambers and where large arteries attach to the heart - prevent blood from going backward - the sound of heartbeat we hear is caused by them closing 1
- Blood Vessels - Arties - carries blood away from the heart to the body s organs - heartbeat pumps blood into arties at high pressure blood pressure - pulse rhythmic changes in your blood pressure - Capillaries - tiny blood vessel that allows an exchange between blood and cells in other tissue - only 1 cell thick - bring nutrients, oxygen and other substances to the cells - removes carbon dioxide and other wastes from the cells - Veins - in biology, a vessel that carries blood to the heart - pushed back to the heart when muscles contract In the capillaries blood takes up oxygen and releases carbon dioxide. Oxygen-rich blood travels through the veins of the left atrium Right ventricle pumps oxygenpoor blood into the arteries that lead to the lungs Heart pumps oxygen-rich blood from the left ventricle into arteries and then into capillaries Oxygen-poor blood travels back into the heart As blood travels through capillaries, it transports oxygen, nutrients and water to the cells while carrying away waste materials and carbon dioxide 2
- Cardiovascular Problems - Causes smoking, high levels of cholesterol in the blood, stress, physical inactivity or heredity - can help eating a healthy diet and getting plenty of exercise - Atherosclerosis - the buildup of material inside the artery which can become blocked restricting blood flow that can lead to a heart attack - High Blood Pressure (hypertension) - abnormally high blood pressure - can lead to a stroke blood vessel in the brain become clogged or rupture - brain cells can die because of lack of oxygen - Heart Attack - happens when heart muscle cells die and part of the heart muscle is damages - Heart Failure - happens when the heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the body s needs Lesson 2 Blood Homework: read pages 182-185 and take notes Blood Type game http://www.redcrossblood.org/donating-blood/donor-zone/games/blood-type Receiver s Can receive Can receive Can receive Can receive Blood type type O? Type A? Type B? Type AB? O A B AB 3
- The circulatory system is made up of your heart, blood vessels and blood is responsible for transporting needed materials to the body s cells. Blood the fluid that carries gases, nutrients, and wastes through the body and that is made up of plasma, red blood cells, platelets and white blood cells. - helps regulate the body s temperature by enlarging and shrinking - Plasma mixture of water, minerals, nutrients, sugars, proteins and other substances, and contains the following - Red Blood Cells (RBC s) - take oxygen to every cell - hemoglobin oxygen-carrying protein and give blood its red color - Platelets - pieces of larger cells found in bone marrow - last only 5 to 10 days - clump together to plug a damage area to reduce blood loss and release chemicals to help blood clot - White Blood Cells (WBC s) - help keep the body healthy by destroying pathogens and clean wounds - fight pathogens - destroy them by releasing antibodies - destroy body cells that have died or been damaged - created in bone marrow and mature in the lymphatic system 4
- Blood Pressure the force that blood exerts on the walls of the arteries and is given in 2 numbers - Systolic pressure is the pressure inside large arteries when the ventricles contract - diastolic pressure is the pressure inside the arteries when the ventricles relax Blood Types - 4 types A, B, AB, or O - antigens are the surface chemicals on RBC s that make blood different types - Also have different antibodies in the plasma which Lesson 3 The Respiratory System Homework: read pages 190-193- and take notes Snore Lab Questions 1. How was your humming different when wax paper was pressed to your mouth? 2. Use your observations to guess what might cause snoring. 5
- Respiration the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between living cells and their environment; includes breathing (inhaling and exhaling) and cellular respiration (chemical reaction that release energy from food) - Respiratory System a collection of organs whose primary function is to take in oxygen and expel carbon dioxide. - Nose main passageway into the system - Pharynx (throat) passage from the mouth to the larynx and esophagus branches into two tubes esophagus goes to the stomach while the larynx goes to the lungs - Larynx area of the throat that contains the vocal cords ( elastic bands that stretch across the larynx) and produces vocal sounds when air flowing between them makes the cords vibrate - Trachea (windpipe) the tube that connects the larynx to the lungs - Bronchi one of the two tubes that connect the lungs with the trachea - Alveoli any of the tiny air sacs of the lungs where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged. This exchange between the alveoli and capillaries allows oxygen to enter the blood. 6
Cellular Respiration - oxygen is used by cells to release energy stored in molecules of glucose. - oxygen is diffused out of the red blood cells and into each cell - cells use the oxygen to release chemical energy during, carbon dioxide and water are produced carbon dioxide is exhaled from the lungs Lesson 4 Excretory or Urinary System Homework: read pages 212-215 and take notes Warm-up 1. 2. 3. - Excretion is the process of removing waste products from the body. - Urinary System the organs that produce, store and eliminate urine - Kidney one of the pair of organs that filter water and wastes from the blood and that excrete products as urine - Nephrons microscopic filters in the kidney that Remove water and other harmful substances from the blood Water Balance - sweat evaporation of water from your skin to cool causes less saliva to produced causing you to become thirsty - Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) controls the amount of water in the bloodstream and amount of urine produced - Diuretics causes your body to make more urine taking water from your blood 7

Lesson 5 Respiratory and Urinary System Disorders Respiratory Disorders - asthma - cause the bronchioles to narrow has difficulty breathing and may be triggered by irritants such as dust or pollen - emphysema - happens when the alveoli have been damaged. People have trouble getting the oxygen they need - SARS severe acute respiratory syndrome - caused by a virus Urinary System Problems - Bacterial Infections - painful infections that needs to be treated before it reaches the kidneys can be permanently damaged - Kidney Stones - salts and other wastes that collect inside in the kidneys - Kidney Disease - damaged nephrons which causes the person to have to use a kidney machine to filter waste from the blood Lesson 6 The Integumentary System and review of other excretory systems Homework: read pages 162-165 and take notes - Integumentary System the organ system that forms a protective covering on the outside of the body Your skin is the largest organ in your body 10
Warm-up 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Functions of Skin - keeps water in and foreign particles out - nerve endings let you feel things around you - sweat regulate body temperature and also removes waste Layers of Skin - epidermis the surface layer of cells on a plant or animal - dermis the layer of skin below the epidermis made of protein called collagen that provides strength 11
