CIRCULATORY SYSTEM – Chapter 37.2
CALIFORNIA STATE STANDARD
Physiology #9: As a result of the coordinated structures and functions of organ systems,
the internal environment of the human body remains relatively stable (homeostatic)
despite changes in the outside environment. As a basis for understanding this concept:
a. Students know how the complementary activity of major body systems provides
cells with oxygen and nutrients and removes toxic waste products such as carbon
dioxide.
What does this standard mean???

Explain homeostasis and how the body maintains homeostasis regardless of changes
in the outside environment.

Explain the following:
► What is the circulatory system?
► What parts make up the circulatory system?
► What is the function of each part of the circulatory system?

Explain how the circulatory system works with the respiratory system and muscular
system to provide cells with oxygen and to remove carbon dioxide.

Explain how the circulatory system works with the digestive system and urinary
system to provide cells with nutrients and to remove waste products.

Explain how the circulatory system works with the endocrine system to maintain
homeostasis in the body.

Explain how the circulatory system works with and communicates with the lymphatic
system, the integumentary system, and the skeletal system.

Discuss an interesting aspect of the circulatory system, for example: clogged arteries,
brain hemorrhage, blood clotting, heart attack, heart murmur, anemia, hemophilia,
malaria, etc.
