Key Vocabulary:
- Talk about organs
circulation heart
- Study circulation and function pump

blood vessels
- Investigate pulse rate veins arteries
Organs are different parts
of our body.
Every organ has a different function.
This means that
they do different things.
A function is a job.
What is this? What are these? What is this?
brain eyes stomach
A function is a job.
What is the function of the eyes?
What do your eyes do?
The function of your eyes is to see!
A function is a job.
What is the function of the brain?
The brain is a very, very important organ.
It controls everything in our body, like our
vision, memory, hunger and even our feelings!
Our body has
different organ systems.
- The digestive system (for eating)
- The skeletal system (bones)
- The muscular system (muscles)
- The respiratory system (breathing)
- The circulatory system
The Circulatory System
Does anybody know anything about
the circulatory system?
The Circulatory System
The circulatory system is like a highway
for the blood in our body.
The Circulatory System
We have about 5 litres of blood in our body.
It is a red liquid, with an important function.
What is this?
It’s a heart.
What is the function of the heart?
The heart pumps (pushes) blood
around your body.
This is called circulation.
Your blood is like a delivery truck.
Your blood carries and delivers
two things that your body needs.
What are these two things?
1. Oxygen
2. Nutrients
Your blood delivers oxygen.
Your blood delivers nutrients.
How does blood get to your organs?
Through blood vessels.
How does blood get to your organs?
Blood vessels are like roads that go from your
heart to your body... and back again.
There are three main types of blood vessel.
Notice there are red and blue blood
vessels on the picture.
The red ones are arteries.
The blue ones are veins.
*They are not really red and blue. It is just
to make it easier to remember!
We will learn two types
of blood vessel today.
vein artery
(veins) (arteries)
Arteries
Arteries carry blood
with oxygen from
your heart to
your body.
Veins
Veins carry blood
without much oxygen
from your body back to
your heart.
How does the circulatory system work?
The Lungs
1. The lungs put
oxygen into
blood.
2. The heart pumps
blood with oxygen
through arteries to
3. Veins take the the body.
blood without
oxygen back to
the heart.
4. The heart pumps
the blood through
the lungs to get
...circulation! more oxygen.
Let’s move on to
your pulse.
We can test how fast our heart is
beating, by measuring our pulse.
What is your pulse?
At certain parts of our body, we can feel a vibration.
This is our blood pumping through our blood vessels.
We call it our pulse.
How can you measure your pulse?
First we need to find our pulse!
These are two of the easiest
places to find your pulse.
How can you measure your pulse?
We measure pulse rate in beats per
minute (b.p.m).
Resting pulse rate.
Resting means doing nothing!
What happens to
your pulse rate after exercise?
After exercise, your pulse
should increase.
Why do you think your pulse gets
faster when we exercise?
- When we exercise our body
needs more oxygen.
- Our heart pumps faster to deliver
more oxygen, so our pulse gets quicker.
