Human circulatory system

Have you ever wondered how does the blood circulation in your body work? This webquest is made so you could find an insight of the human circulatory system. It was made as a homework for my biology teacher at the Riga English Grammar School.

The circulatory system is an organ system that permits blood to circulate and transport nutrients, oxygen, carbon dioxide, hormones, and blood cells. It froms the cells in the body to provide nourishment and help in fighting diseases, stabilize temperature and pH, and maintain homeostasis.

During this webquest you will watch a video covering the basics of the circulatory system. The task given to you will be in a format of questions. At the end of this webquest you will have the answers to your task. Best of luck to you!

You can work alone or in pairs. Watch the given video and pay attention to the details.

After watching the video, answer the given questions at the Process section. Write your answers on a sheet of paper. You can watch the video a second time if you missed anything. When you're done, check your answers from the Evaluation page. If you have 6 out of 10 correct answers, then you have passed the test.

Answer these questions:

1. How many miles of blood vessels does a human body have?
2. Name the types of blood vessels!
3. What is the approximate heart beat count of in one minute?
4. How many chambers and valves doeas a heart have?
5. From where does the heart get its oxygen?
6. Which blood vessels carry the oxygenated blood to the body?
7. In what chamber of the heart the deoxygenated blood enters?
8. What artery carries blood to the lungs?
9. What does the lungs do to the blood?
10. Which blood vessel carries blood from the lungs to the heart?

Check your answers:

1. 60 000 miles.
2. Arteries, veins and capillaries.
3. 72 times.
4. 4 chambers and 4 valves.
5. Lungs.
6. Arteries.
7. In the Right Atrium.
8. Pulmonary artery.
9. Oxygenise them.
10. Pulmonary vein.

Thank you for using my webquest as a learning material! I hope that you have gained a brief insight in human circulatory system. Blood is truly the thing that makes our body fueled!

Now grade yourself! If you have passed the test successfully, you will be able to use this newly acquired knowlede in your future tasks or school tests. 

I recommend using this webquest as a lesson material for biology lessons. It is not made by a professional, so it should be used only for a training purpose and consulted with a teacher.

For further learning you can use www.uzdevumi.lv as there are theory materials and tasks to callenge yourself.

I don't have any copyright over the material and it is used only for a learning purpose.
