    Name the four chambers of the heart Name 3 components of the blood and describe their functions

    Blood Vessels
    Arteries, Veins and Capillaries (Arterioles and Venules)

    Learning objectives
    Name the major types of blood vessel Describe the structure and function of the three blood vessels Explain why these structures assists function

    Arteries
    Carry blood away from the heart High pressure Carry oxygenated blood (except for the pulmonary artery) Thick muscular walls 3 layers
    Thin tough outer layer Thick muscular middle layer Thin inner layer of cells

    Small lumen Do have a pulse No valves

    Veins
    Carry blood toward the heart Low pressure Carry deoxygenated blood (except for the pulmonary artery) Thinner more flexible walls 3 layers
    Thick tough outer layer Muscular middle layer Thin inner layer of cells

    Large lumen Does not have a pulse Valves present

    Vein

    Artery

    Capillaries
    Penetrate all tissues Very narrow only one cell wide One cell thick walls allows transport of oxygen and nutrient into body cells and wastes out of cells

    Where do substances carried by blood vessels end up?


    Substances needed by the cells in body tissues pass out of the blood, and substances produced by the cells pass into the blood, through the walls of the capillaries.

    Complete the table/make A5 poster for each vessel to show that you can explain the differences between vessels

    Blood direction Blood pressure Wall structure

    away from heart high thick elastic and muscle layer, tough coat. Thin endothelium Thick wall and muscle Small relative to vessel width No valves

    From heart thro tissues to veins low Thin endothelial layer only Very thin Large lumen

    To heart reducing from arteries Thin muscle and elastic layer. Endothelial lining. Tough coat Thick but less so than artery Large relative to diameter of vessel Valves Deoxygenated ( except PV)

    Wall thickness Internal diameter (lumen) Valves present? Is blood usually oxygenated or deoxygenated?

    Throughout

    Oxygenated ( except From Oxygenated to pulmonary artery) deoxygenated)

    Match the statements to the correct diagram:

    Carries blood Carries blood under under low high pressure Thick walls with pressure muscle fibre and Substances diffuse elastic tissue easily across the wall Carries blood Capillary under lower Vein pressure Large lumen Walls are one cell Small lumen thick Has valves Artery

    Match the statements to the correct diagram:

    Carries blood under lower pressure Large lumen Has valves Vein

    Walls are one cell thick Substances diffuse easily across the wall Carries blood under low pressure Capillary

    Carries blood under high pressure Thick walls with muscle fibre and elastic tissue Small lumen Artery
