Lesson-The Circulatory and Nervous system

Topic- The Circulatory System


Instructions: Parents are requested to help the child read and understand the
text carefully and complete the exercises given at the end of the topic.

The Circulatory System:

Our body consists of several systems all of which are helpful for the proper
functioning of it. The circulatory system is a very important system of our body
and consists of:

1. The Heart.

2. Blood.

3. Blood vessels.

The circulatory system is the transport system of our body .It is responsible for
transporting nutrients, oxygen and water to all parts of the body and collect
carbon-dioxide and other wastes from them.

1
THE HEART:

The Heart is a muscular organ which starts working from before we are born
till the time we cease to live . Simply put, it is a pumping machine which
contracts and relaxes continuously and pumps blood to all parts of our body.
The heart is situated in between the lungs, tilted slightly to the left. It is about
the size of our clenched fist.

Blood: The blood is pumped by the heart and flows continuously through the
blood vessels. The blood carries nutrients, water and oxygen to the cells. It also
has a protein called haemoglobin which combines with oxygen to give red
colour to the blood. The blood also carries waste products which are to be
removed from our body.

Blood vessels-Blood vessels are a network of tubular structures which carry


blood to the different body parts. There are three types of blood vessels-

• Arteries.
• Veins.
• Capillaries.
2
Arteries: Any blood vessel which goes away from the heart and carries blood to
all parts of the body is an Artery.

Veins: Any blood vessel which carries blood from different organs towards the
heart is a vein.

Capillaries: The capillaries are very thin blood vessels which connect the
arteries to the veins.

NOTE: Since the capillaries are very thin, all exchange of gases, nutrients and
wastes occurs through them.

Heartbeat and Pulse: The heart is continuously contracting and relaxing to


pump blood, this contraction and relaxation of the heart muscle produces a
beat. This is known as heartbeat.

The healthy human heart beats 60-80 times per minute.

Doctors use the Stethoscope to hear the heartbeat.

The continuous beating of the heart produces a rhythmic wave felt in all blood
vessels of the body. This is known Pulse.

EXERCISE-1: Write the definition of-

1. Pulse.
2. Heartbeat
3. Arteries.
4. Veins and
5. Capillaries.

EXERCISE 2: Fill in the Blanks :

1. ______ is the number of times the healthy human heart beats per
minute.
2. The rhythmic and wavy motion of blood in the blood vessels is known
as _____.
3
3. The heart is situated between the _____.
4. The blood contains a protein known as _______ which combines with
oxygen.
5. All exchange of gases, nutrients and wastes occurs through _____.

EXERCISE 3: Understand and learn the difference between the following:-

1. Arteries and veins.


2. Veins and capillaries.
3. Heartbeat and pulse.

ANSWER 3:

1)

Arteries. Veins
Arteries carry blood from the heart Veins carry blood from the different
to different parts of the body. parts of the body to the heart.

2)

Veins Capillaries
Veins carry blood from different Capillaries are very thin blood
parts of the body to the heart. vessels that connect the artery to
the vein.

3)

Heartbeat Pulse

The contraction and relaxation of Pulse is the rhythmic wavy


the heart muscles produce a sound movement caused by the blood by
or beat. This is called a heartbeat. the pumping of the heart.

3) What is haemoglobin?
Answer 3) Haemoglobin is a protein present in the blood which gives the
blood its red colour.

4) What is the role of the blood in our circulatory system?


Answer 4) Blood carries nutrients, oxygen and water to the tissues and
removes the waste products from them.

5) Why is the heart a very important organ of our body?


Answer 5) We cannot live if our heart does not function. The heart is a
