lining of the arteries, can cause ___________
____________
or Stroke, limit cholesterol
intake…fried foods
Cardiovascular Diseases:
 Sickle cell Anemia: sickle shaped _________
Red
blood cells
 Leukemia – a type of
cancer that causes an
increase in the number of white blood cells
Gas Exchange
 The Circulatory system gives carbon dioxide
to the alveoli (lungs) to be exhaled out of the
body
 The respiratory system inhales oxygen and
gives it to the circulatory system to be
transported to the cells throughout the body
6th Grade Review – Energy Resources
 Renewable resources don’t run out or can be
replaced in your lifetime
ex. Solar, Wind, Running Water, Wood (trees)
 Nonrenewable resources take millions of
years to form and are in a limited supply
ex. Coal, Oil, Gasoline
 Nonrenewable resources need to be
conserved and used sparingly by recycling
and reducing the use (ex. Carpooling, Mass
transit)
