- ______ ______
- ______
Heart, Blood vessels and Blood
Humans and other mammals have a ______ circulatory system - two _____ joined together.
double circulatory system, two circuits
Circulatory system
1) In the first circuit, the heart pumps ________ blood to the ______ in the lungs to take in ______.
The ________ blood then returns to the heart.
deoxygenated blood –> alveoli in lungs —> turns in oxygenated blood and returns to heart
Circulatory system
2) In the second circuit, the heart pumps ______ blood to all the other _____ of the body.
Here, the blood gives up its _____ to ____ cells.
The ________ blood then returns to the _____ to be pumped out to the ____ again
oxygenated blood given to all other organs
Blood gives up oxygen to body cells
Blood now deoxygenated, returns to the heart to be pumped to the lungs again
Circulatory system
3) As it is pumped around the body, the blood also travels through blood _____ near _______ surfaces - including ____ (where it picks up food molecules and _____) and the _____ (where it is filtered and ____ is removed)
blood vessels near exchange surfaces
villi - food molecules and water are absorbed
Kidneys - blood filtered, urea removed
Chambers of the heart
The heart uses it’s four chambers (right and left ____ and _______ to pump blood around.

Valves
The heart has valves to make sure the blood flows in the right _______ and to prevent _________.
