Science Test Study Notes

We will have time tomorrow in class to study as well.

Circulatory System
The circulatory system has 2 big jobs:
1. Carrying food, water and Oxygen
2. Removing wastes
The circulatory system as 3 small jobs:
1. Maintaining body temperature
2. Fighting Disease
3. Carrying Chemicals
Parts of the circulatory system
1.Heart (Aorta, Pulmonary Artery, Left Ventricle, Right Ventricle)
2.Arteries
3. Capillaries
4.Veins
5.Lungs
6.Cells
Blood (12 pints,Plasma, red blood cells,white blood cells)
4 Different Types of Blood: AB, A, B, O
Explain the path of the circulatory system works Heart- lungs- exchanges CO2 for O2 – goes back to the heart- out the arteries – to the capillaries – to the cells – to the capillaries- veins- back to the heart- repeat

Cardiovascular Diseases
1. Stroke
2. Hypertension
3. Heart attack - Myocardial infarction (MI)
