Blood circulation 

section  2.2

The heart

-The heart is a double pump

-left side pumps oxygen rich 

  blood into the systemic 

  circulation 

-right side pumps oxygen poor

  blood into the pulmonary 

  circulation

The heart is made out of

1. Voluntary muscle
2. involuntary muscle
3. cardiac muscle
4. cheese

which statements are correct

1. the left side is oxygen poor
2. the left side is oxyen rich
3. the right side is oxyen poor
4. the right side is oxygen rich

Circulation

-Red blood indicates blood 

  with a lot of oxygen

-Blue blood indicates blood 

  with a lot of carbondioxide

-(notice the way the blue blood

   goes: from your body 

   towards the heart)

Circulation

Pulmonary circulation

From the heart to the lungs

Systemic circulation

From the heart to every part of your body

Pulmonary circulation

To the lungs to pick up oxygen and drop of carbondioxide

Pulmonary circulation

- Takes in oxygen from the

    lungs.

- Releases CO2 to lungs to

   breathe out.

- Oxygen-poor blood is 

   dark red, flows through the

   right side of the heart.

The pulonary artery brings blood to the

the pulmonary artery contains

1. oxygen rich blood carbondioxide rich
2. oxygen poor blood carbondioxide poor
3. oxygen rich blood carbondioxide poor
4. oxygen poor blood carbondioxide rich

the pulmonary vein brings blood to the

the pulmonary vein contains

1. oxygen rich blood carbondioxide rich
2. oxygen poor blood carbondioxide poor
3. oxygen rich blood carbondioxide poor
4. oxygen poor blood carbondioxide rich

Systemic circulation

To every part of your body to drop of oxygen and nutrients and pick up carbondioxide and other waste products

Systemic circulation

- Brings oxygen and nutrients

   to body cells.

- Takes away waste products

   from body cells.

- Oxygen-rich blood is 

   bright red, flows through 

   the left side of the heart.

the systemic circulation brings blood to

the aorta contains

1. oxygen rich blood carbondioxide poor
2. oxygen rich blood carbondioxide rich
3. oxygen poor blood carbondioxide poor
4. oxygen poor blood carbondioxide rich

Coronary circulation

Blood circulation of the heart

- Arteries: towards the 

    heart muscle

- Veins: away from the 

    heart  muscle

Humans have a double circulatory system: 

blood flows 2x  through the heart per lap/circuit.

A double circulatory system is more efficient for taking in oxygen. Explain why only birds and mammals have this system.

Humans do have a so called 'double circulatory system'. What does that mean?
