When I say circulatory, you say | blood |
these blood vessels carry oxygen blood AWAY from the heart to the rest of the body | arteries |
these blood vessels carry blood with waste back to the heart and lungs | veins |
these are the smallest blood vessels that go to every cell in the body | capillaries |
blood cells have to travel in a single file line through these blood vessels | capillaries |
Blood that doesn't have oxygen has to go to this organ to get oxygen | lungs |
this organ pumps the blood to the lungs or the rest of the body | heart |
this part of the blood helps your body to heal cuts and stop bleeding | platelets |
this part of the blood helps your body fight diseases | white blood cells |
this part of the blood carries oxygen throughout the body | red blood cells |
this part of the blood is like a river for the other blood parts to float in | plasma |
blood that has given away all their oxygen, travels back through the veins to these two organs | heart and lungs |
