Kesler Science Station Lab Circulatory System If you have never used my Kesler Science Station Labs before please download the FREE Start-Up pack from my TPT store. It will provide you with all of the signage and best practices in order to run the station labs in your classroom. You can read my complete guide to how run effective station labs on my blog. The large directions cards included in this file are intended to be read by the leader of the group once the students get to the station. The smaller task cards can be read by another group member. I prefer that each student do their own lab write-up (included at the end of this file), so that they may use it for reference at a later date. The answer key is provided at the end of the document. Lastly, if any of the internet resources no longer work for some reason please let me know via email at chris@keslerscience.com. I cannot guarantee that all resources will be available, but I tried to choose ones that have been around for many years.

Heart Disease Heart disease includes numerous problems, many of which are related to a process called atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is a condition that develops when a substance called plaque builds up in the walls of the arteries. This buildup narrows the arteries, making it harder for blood to flow through. If a blood clot forms, it can stop the blood flow. This can cause a heart attack or stroke. A heart attack occurs when the blood flow to a part of the heart is blocked by a blood clot. If this clot cuts off the blood flow completely, the part of the heart muscle supplied by that artery begins to die. Most people survive their first heart attack and return to their normal lives to enjoy many more years of productive activity. But having a heart attack does mean you have to make some changes. The doctor will advise you of medications and lifestyle changes according to how badly the heart was damaged and what degree of heart disease caused the heart attack. Other types of Cardiovascular Disease: Heart failure: This doesn't mean that the heart stops beating. Heart failure, sometimes called congestive heart failure, means the heart isn't pumping blood as well as it should. The heart keeps working, but the body's need for blood and oxygen isn't being met. Heart failure can get worse if it's not treated. If your loved one has heart failure, it's very important to follow the doctor's orders. Arrhythmia: This is an abnormal rhythm of the heart. There are various types of arrhythmias. The heart can beat too slow, too fast or irregularly. Bradycardia is when the heart rate is less than 60 beats per minute. Tachycardia is when the heart rate is more than 100 beats per minute. An arrhythmia can affect how well the heart works. The heart may not be able to pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. Learn more about arrhythmia. Heart valve problems: When heart valves don't open enough to allow the blood to flow through as it should, it's called stenosis. When the heart valves don't close properly and allow blood to leak through, it's called regurgitation. When the valve leaflets bulge or prolapse back into the upper chamber, it s a condition called mitral valve prolapse. When this happens, they may not close properly. This allows blood to flow backward through them. Discover more about the roles your heart valves play in healthy circulation.
What is the main cause of a heart attack? A. Blood flow is blocked by a blood clot B. Heart beats irregularly C. The valves in the heart don t operate properly D. A blood clot is blocking a vessel to the brain Based on how heart attacks are caused, which of the following is not a preventative measure? A. Someone that chooses not to smoke B. Regular physical activity C. A job that allows you to sit all day D. Healthy diet A. Bradycardia B. Tachycardia C. Heart attack D. Stroke If you heart is beating too fast at rest what is a potential problem you may have? What is the difference between stenosis and regurgitation? A. Stenosis is when valves don t open far enough and regurgitation is when heart valves don t close all the way. B. Regurgitation is when valves don t open far enough and stenosis is when heart valves don t close all the way.

Arteries carry oxygen rich blood away from the heart after the blood has visited the lungs. Veins carry carbon dioxide to the heart and lungs (exception pulmonary artery) Write It! Task Card #3 1. Carotid artery 2. Femoral vein 3. Pulmonary artery Task Card #4 1. Heart, arteries, veins, capillaries Write It! Task Card #1: 1. The circulatory system provides oxygen and nutrients to all parts of the body while helping to remove waste and carbon dioxide. Student answers will vary 1. Oxygen is transported from the lungs by blood to the rest of the body through your arteries. Veins transport carbon dioxide from your body to your heart and lungs by blood. It is then removed through the respiratory system. 2. The main organ of the circulatory system is the heart. It is the pump that allows blood to flow through our body. Arteries carry blood away from the heart and veins carry blood to the heart. Capillaries are the smallest of the blood vessels and are found throughout the body.
Circulatory System Answer Key Illustrate It! Student answers will vary. Assess It! Read It! #1 D #3 A Research It! Organize It! #2 A #4 C Task Card #1 1. The cardiovascular system consists of the heart, blood vessels, and the approximately 5 liters of blood that the blood vessels transport. Responsible for transporting oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and cellular waste products throughout the body, the cardiovascular system is powered by the body s hardest-working organ the heart, which is only about the size of a closed fist. See last page of this document for answer diagram #1 A #3 B #2 C #4 A Task Card #2 1. Arteries are blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart. Capillaries are the smallest and thinnest of the blood vessels in the body and also the most common. Veins are the large return vessels of the body and act as the blood return counterparts of arteries 2. 4 to 5 liters of blood in the human body 3. Transportation, Protection, Regulation
Circulatory System Answer Key Watch It! Task Card #2: Veins move oxygen deficient blood, CO 2, and waste towards the heart. Arteries carry oxygen and nutrients away from the heart and into the body. Task Card #3: Carbon dioxide is exchanged for Oxygen when the blood gets to the lungs. We breath out the carbon dioxide and breath in oxygen. Task Card 4: Blood flows to the heart through our veins. It passes through the right atrium and ventricle passing through valves as it does so. Blood then flows out the pulmonary arteries and exchanges carbon dioxide for oxygen. Blood flows back into the left atrium and ventricle and out the aorta and arteries back into the body. It can then deliver oxygen rich blood and nutrients to the body.
