A Bloody Situation
The Case of the Missing Jewels
Late one April night, government agents
received an anonymous tip that the National
Art Museum was about to be robbed of its
priceless jewel collection! When they
arrived a the museum, they saw they were
too late: the jewels were gone.
There was no one around, but there was
evidence of a struggle. Blood was spattered
all over a nearby wall. In another area,
there was a smeared pool of blood. Hidden
in the corner, investigators found a bloody
knife.
Your Mission
You and your partner are
investigators on the scene. Your job is
to identify the blood and narrow down
the suspects. Based on what you know
about blood, come up with at least 3
forensic questions that could be
answered by analyzing the blood.
Human Blood
Major Components:
1) Plasma
2) White Blood Cells
3) Red Blood Cells
4) Platelets

Blood Types
As blood flows through the circulatory system, it
moves through three types of blood vessels
1- arteries
2- capillaries
3- veins

THE BLOODMOBILE!!!
• Blood carries oxygen and nutrients away
from the heart toward the body tissues!
• Blood carries carbon dioxide and wastes
back to the heart to be pumped to the
lungs!
Let’s Review Blood Vessels!
Artery
Capillary
Vein
The Heart
• Large organ composed of thick muscle
• 4 chambers
– 2 atria (top)
– 2 ventricles (bottom)
• Circulatory
system YouTube
1. AORTA (largest artery
– pumps oxygenated
blood to body tissues)
2. PULMONARY ARTERY
(pumps deoxygenated
blood to lungs)
13. Pulmonary Artery
(“Pulmonary =Lungs”)
12. Superior Vena Cava
11. Right Atrium (pumps
deoxygenated blood
into right ventricle)
3. PULMONARY VEINS
(pumps oxygenated blood
from lungs to left atrium)
4. Left Atrium (pumps
oxygen rich blood to
left ventricle
6. Left Ventricle (pumps
oxygenated blood into
aorta)
10. Inferior Vena Cava (carries
deoxygenated blood from
body to right atrium)
9 & 5. Valves (prevents
backflow of blood)
8. Right Ventricle (pumps
deoxygenated blood into
Pulmonary Artery)
AORTA
7. Septum (divides the 2 sides of
heart (prevents mixing of blood)
Types of Circulation
– the heart functions as 2 separate pumps
– Pulmonary Circulation: the right side of the
heart pumping blood to the lungs where
oxygen is absorbed and carbon dioxide is
released
– Systemic Circulation: the left side of the heart
pumps oxygen-rich blood that is returning
from the lungs, away from the heart to the rest
of the body
– Coronary Circulation: the movement of blood
through the vessels serving the heart muscle
