Topic: Circulatory system
Aim: Describe the components of the blood
and their functions.
Do Now: Take out your blood reading notes
and the Flamin’ Hot Cheetos article.
What is the correct sequence or order
of organs food passes through in the
digestive system?
HW: Read page 553 about Blood types.
Copy Table 2 into your notes section.
Flamin’ Hot Cheetos
Why are they not recommended for children?
• They lack nutritional value.
Flamin’ Hot Cheetos
Why are they not recommended for children?
• They lack nutritional value.
• Contain a lot of red food dye  can turn stool of
people who eat large quantities of it red
• Can be a sign of over-eating
• Complaints of pain in their upper abdomen, rising into
their chest
• People with gastroesophageal reflux should avid it
bc it can lead to a flare-up.
• Significant inflammation of stomach lining 
abdominal pain
• Kids are et up for ulcerations, erosions and peptic
ulcer disease
• Cause gastritis  bloating, burning and vomiting

MARROW
Did you know…
• A newborn baby has about 1 cup of
blood in his body.
• It would take 1,200,000 mosquitos,
each sucking once, to completely
drain an average human of blood.
• Blood makes up about 7% of your
body weight.
• It only takes 20 to 60 seconds for a
drop of blood to travel from the heart,
through your body, and back to the
heart again.
Describe blood.
• Liquid tissue
• Transports
SUBSTANCES
throughout the
body
1. Identify the 3 types of blood cells.
• Red blood cells
• White blood cells
• Platelets
2. Identify another name for red blood
cells.
• Erythrocytes
3. Describe the function of red blood
cells.
• Transport oxygen and carbon
dioxide to and from cells
• HEMOGLOBIN (protein)
4. Describe the shape of RBC’s. (What
do they look like?)

Did you know…
• A red blood can make a complete
circuit of your body in 30 seconds.
• There are 150 Billion red blood
cells in one ounce of blood
5. Identify another name for white
blood cells.
• Leucocytes
6. Describe the function of white blood
cells.
• Identify and destroy pathogens
(disease-causing organism)
• Produce antibodies
• ENGULF pathogens
• Produce ANTIBODIES
7. Describe the
shape of white blood
cells. (What do they
look like?)

8. Identify another name for platelets.
• Thrombocytes
9. Describe the function of platelets.
• Involved in blood clotting and repair
and regeneration of connective tissue

A. Platelets stick to edge of cut
B. FIBRIN is produced (long,
sticky string) that sticks to cut
vessel
C. Web like complex of strands forms
to stop bleeding CLOT
D. Clot becomes hard & dry (SCAB)
E. Skin cells repaired under scab and
scab falls off
10. Place the blood cells in correct
sequence (order) from largest to smallest.
• WBC’s  RBC’s  Platelets
11. Identify the liquid that transports
red blood cells, white blood cells and
platelets.
• Plasma
• 90% water
12. Identify other substances that are
transported by plasma.
•
•
•
•
•
•
Nutrients
Metabolic wastes
Enzymes
Salt
Proteins
Antibodies

Did you know…
• Coconut water can be used (in
emergencies) as a substitute for
blood plasma.
You can donate your plasma. During the
actual blood donation process, your blood is
drawn through a needle placed in a vein in
one arm. Then a special machine separates
the plasma (and often the platelets) from
your blood sample. This process is called
plasmapheresis. The remaining red blood
cells and other blood components are then
returned to your body, along with a little
saline (salt) solution.
Plasmapheresis is also used to treat the
following:
• Autoimmune diseases
• Neurological diseases
• Very high levels of cholesterol that are
not reduced by diet and medications
• Toxins that can get into your blood
An average adult’s body normally contains
over 35 billion WBC’s. That’s 1 for every
600-700 RBC’s.
One grain of rice = 1 cubic mm
• 5 million RBC’s
• 5,000 – 10,000 WBC’s
• 400,000 platelets
Let’s summarize…
1. Identify the four parts of the blood.
2. Describe the function of plasma.
3. Describe the function and shape of red blood
cells.
4. What do red blood cells contain?
5. Describe the function and shape of white
blood cells.
