Throughout this unit, the following
Health and Wellbeing learning outcome
will be covered in great detail:

human body and can use this knowledge to
maintain and improve my wellbeing and
health.
HWB 3-15a / HWB 4-15a
Lesson 8 – Learning outcomes
• Know the function of the circulatory
system
• Know the main organs of the circulatory
system
• Know what substances are carried by the
circulatory system
• Know the structure of the heart, and the
function of each side of the heart
The circulatory system
• We need to deliver various essential substances
•
•
•
•
to our cells, and remove waste materials from
our cells.
The blood carries all of these substances from
one place to another.
Your blood carries food (from your digestive
system) and oxygen (from your lungs) to your
body’s cells.
It also carries waste materials away from the
cells.
As well as this, blood carries heat around the
body.
The circulatory system consist of the heart and the blood
vessels.
Arteries are blood vessels which carry blood away from the
heart
Veins are blood vessels which carry blood back to the heart.
Capillaries are tiny blood vessels which connect arteries to
veins.
These are
just some
of the
arteries and
veins of the
body.
• Arteries take blood to all parts of the body.
• They divide many times to form tiny capillaries.
• These supply all the cells of the body with the
•
•
food and oxygen they need.
Veins take blood containing carbon dioxide and
waste materials away from the cells.
The heart is a pump which keeps the blood
moving around the body.

The Heart
Your teacher will show you a model of the human heart
• The heart has four
•
chambers, two on the left
side and two on the right
side. (Look carefully at
the diagram – what do
you notice!)
The aorta is the main
artery taking blood away
from the heart. It
branches into smaller
arteries which go to all
parts of the body.
Circulation of blood
• The right side pumps
•
•
blood to the lungs to
pick up oxygen and
get rid of carbon
dioxide.
The left side pumps
blood to the rest of
the body.
After delivering oxygen
to the cells, the blood
returns to the right side
of the heart again.
Listen to your heart
• Your teacher will show you how to use the
•
•
•
stethoscope.
It is important to clean it with disinfectant
before and after you use it.
Place the end of the stethoscope against your
skin, just to the left of the middle of your chest.
Can you hear the two sounds the heart makes
for each beat ?– this sound is sometimes called
‘Lub-DUB’.
Did you know?
• The heart beats about 100,000 times each day.
• The electrocardiograph (ECG) was invented in 1902 by
•
•
•
Dutch physiologist Willem Einthoven. This test is still
used to evaluate the heart's rate and rhythm .
Your system of blood vessels - arteries, veins and
capillaries - is over 60,000 miles long. That's long
enough to go around the world more than twice!
The ‘lub-DUB’ sound of the heart is caused when the
heart valves (like tiny doors) close.
Early Egyptians believed that the heart and other major
organs had wills of their own and would move around
inside the body .

Lesson 9 – Learning outcomes
• Know about the composition of blood
• Know what each component of blood does
• Know approximately what volume of blood
is in the human body
• Do calculations concerning blood cells
What is blood?
• Blood seems to be a red
•
•
•
liquid, but the liquid part is
really pale yellow. You can
show this by leaving some
blood to settle.
This liquid is called
plasma.
The red colour is due to
the red blood cells (RBCs).
There are also white blood
cells (WBCs) and platelets.
What does each part of
the blood do?
• Red blood cells are the oxygen carriers.
•
•
•
Animation of red blood cells
White blood cells are part of the body’s defences and
help to fight infection.
White blood cells engulfing bacteria
Platelets help to heal wounds by clotting the blood at the
site of an injury.

Plasma is mainly water and carries dissolved food,
waste, carbon dioxide and many other chemicals around
the body.

rate (pulse rate)
• Learn about different ways to take a pulse
• Carry out an investigation to show how
heart rate is affected by level of exercise
• Understand why this happens
• Know the relationship between resting
heart rate and fitness
COPY
How fast does your heart beat?
• Every time your heart beats, it causes a
H&W
pulse in your arteries.
• This pulse can be felt at your wrist or your
neck.
• Measuring your pulse rate tells you how
fast your heart is beating. (Pulse rate =
heart rate)
• Pulse rate is measured in beats per
minute.
Taking a pulse

You will measure your pulse rate sitting down, after
having been sitting for at least 5 minutes.
Your teacher will then tell you what gentle exercise to
do.
You will measure your pulse rate again, as soon as you
have stopped.
Next your teacher will tell you what vigorous exercise to
do.
As soon as you stop, measure your pulse rate again.
Before you start you must prepare a results table

H&W
• Your resting heart rate can give an indication of how fit

you are.
The average resting heart rate for a healthy adult is 72
beats per minute.
The lower the resting heart rate, the fitter the person is.
You can monitor your own fitness level over time by
checking your resting heart rate regularly.
Compare the resting heart rate you got
in your Science class with the resting rate
you got in PE (this should be noted in
your planner).
Are they similar? If not, why do you think
this is?

Lesson 11 – Learning outcomes
• Understand the cellular process of
respiration
• Know the difference between respiration
and breathing
• Know the link between respiration,
breathing, digestion of food and
circulation
Respiration – Cells releasing energy
• Once our food has been digested, it is absorbed
•
•
•
into the blood and delivered to our cells by the
blood.
The oxygen we take in at the lungs is also
delivered to our cells.
Our cells use oxygen to release energy from the
food. This is the energy which keeps all our cells
alive and allows us to move, keep warm and
grow.
This chemical reaction in our cells is called
respiration. It is the reason why we have to eat
and breathe.

•Respiration happens inside every ______of the
body. It is a chemical reaction which releases
energy from _______.
•Breathing happens inside the _____.
It is necessary to supply the ______

respiration.

Body systems working together
• In order to keep our cells supplied with energy,
•
•
•
several body systems work together.
The digestive system breaks down food and gets
it into the blood.
The breathing system adds oxygen to the blood
The circulatory system delivers this digested
food and oxygen to the cells which need it for
respiration. It also takes the carbon dioxide
produced by respiration back to the lungs to be
breathed out.
