Virtual Aortic Aneurysm
http://www.edheads.org/activities/aortic/swf/index.htm
1. The aortic artery is part of what body system? What happens in this system? (pg. 198-207)
It is part of the circulatory system. The circulatory system delivers materials throughout the body such as
chemical messengers, oxygen and glucose from the digestive system to the body cells.
2. What is vascular surgery?
Vascular surgery is when diseases of the vascular system, or arteries and veins, are managed by medical
therapy, minimally-invasive catheter procedures, and surgical reconstruction.
3. What is an aneurysm?
An aneurysm is the enlargement of an artery that is caused by the weakening of the arterial wall.
4. What is a cardiologist?
A cardiologist is a doctor that has specialized in the cardiovascular system. These doctors treat the heart, veins, arteries
and other parts of the cardiovascular system.
Station #2
1. Cut out the parts of the skeleton.
2. Use the information from the book, page 164, to label the different bones.

Station #3
Write a paragraph using the information from pages 162-169, about the role of the skeleton in the body,
joints, and bone characteristics. The paragraph needs to have at least 7 sentences. In each sentence
replace 1 or 2 key words with a blank line for a total of 10 blanks. Create a word box at the end of the
paragraph that has 15 words, where 10 of which are used to fill in the blanks. DO NOT COPY SENTENCES OUT
OF THE BOOK. WRITE YOUR OWN SENTENCES USING THE INFORMATION FROM THE BOOK.
The skeleton gives the body structure and support. It facilitates
movement, protect organs, stores minerals inside the bones, and it is
where blood cells are produced. Joints are vital in movement of the
bones. Bones can move in different ways because of joints. There are
two types of joints; the movable joints are the ball-and-socket joint
(shoulder), pivot joint (neck), hinge joint (elbow) and gliding joint
(ankle). Bones are strong structures that are constantly growing and
repairing themselves. Since bone is living it needs to be innervated and
vascularized. Therefore, there are small canals in the compact bone that
have blood vessels and nerves which supply the cells.

Station #4
Page 198- 207
1. In your own words, describe the 4 functions of the circulatory system.
a. Delivers Material: blood transports chemical messengers, oxygen from your
lungs. And glucose to your body cells
b. Removes Wastes: Blood takes away wastes from body cells. For example, blood
transports carbon dioxide from body cells to your lungs, where it is exhaled.
c. Regulates Body Temperature: Changes in the amount of blood flow in the skin
help carry heat away or prevent heat loss
d. Fights Disease: Blood cells contain cells that attack disease-causing
microorganisms.
2. What is the function of a heart?
The heart is a muscle that pumps blood throughout the body through blood vessels such as
veins and arteries.
3. Describe the function of arteries and veins. What is their main difference?
The arteries carry blood away from the heart. Veins carry blood back to the heart. The main
difference between arteries is arteries have oxygenated blood while veins have deoxygenated
blood.
4. Draw the circulatory system on page 201; Label and color.
Station #5
Page 170-175
1. Involuntary muscles:
Involuntary muscles are muscles that are not under conscious control. The muscles
in the digestive system and the muscles involved in breathing are examples.
2. Voluntary muscles:
Voluntary muscles are muscles that are under someone’s conscious control.
Examples of this are when a person walks, writings, or talks.
3. Describe the 3 types of muscles and their functions in the body.
a. Skeletal muscles: banned or striated. These muscles are considered
voluntary muscles because humans have conscious control over their
skeletal muscles. They allow the body to react quickly and to move.
Example: triceps or hamstrings
b. Smooth Muscle: not banned or striated. Smooth muscles are
involuntary muscles. The internal organs such as the stomach consist
of smooth muscle.
c. Cardiac Muscle: banned or striated. Cardiac muscle is found only in
the heart and is involuntary.
