Blood is the liquid that flows through various vessels in our body. The teacher demonstrates a drawing of how when the doctor takes plasma from our body how it is mixed into a small tube. The materials that are used are red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. In the tube the combination of the two liquids is called blood. The liquid (plasma) is on the top and the materials are on the bottom. We discussed why the heart is important and what it does. The heart is important because it pumps the blood through our body and how the vessels travel to and from the heart. The heart has two parts the right and left atrium, they send oxygen blood to lung and is a power circulation the body. We talked about the 2 types of Circuits (pulmonary and systemic). The pulmonary circuit pumps blood to the lungs and back, where the red blood cells can get oxygen while the systemic circuits blood pump from the heart to the body tissues and back. Another part we learned about being the vessels and three parts. According to google online dictionary the blood vessels are the part of the circulatory system that transports blood throughout the human body. We discussed the three parts the vessels consist of, arteries, veins, and capillaries. An artery (red blood) is a larger blood vessels that carry blood ways from the heart, veins (blue) is a large blood vessel that carry blood back to the heart and capillaries is the smaller blood vessels to smaller body…
