BLOOD • PLASMA. Whichiswaterwithdifferentsubstancesdissolved in it. • BLOOD CELLS: • RED BLOOD CELLS. Transportoxigen. WHITE BLOOD CELLS Defendusfrominfections • PLATELETS Block ourwounds.
BLOOD VESSELS • ARTERIES. • Transportthebloodfromthehearttothebody. • Theirwalls are thick and havemuscles. • VEINS • Transportthebloodfromthebodytotheheart • Theirwalls are thin and theyhavevalvesinside • CAPILLARIES • Connecttheveins and arteries and reachallthecells in ourbody. • They are verysmallvessels.
THE HEART • Itis a pumpmadeby a specialkind of musclefibres , calledcardiacmuscles . • Itisdividedintotwoinconnectedparts: theright and theleft. • Eachpartisalsodividedintotwoparts: • Theupperpartistheauricleoratrium • Thelowerpartistheventricle • Bothparts are connectedby a valve
