Understanding Blood Vessels: Arteries vs. Veins

Learn to differentiate between arteries and veins, identify important blood vessels, understand types of blood vessels, function of delivering oxygenated/deoxygenated blood, connecting arteries to arterioles, veins to Vena Cava, and the exchange of nutrients. Follow the blood flow through the heart, and color-code oxygenated and deoxygenated blood pathways. Watch a visual demonstration of blood circulation in the body.

  3. Review the blood flow through the heart…. • 1. Place the terms in the correct sequence by using your “Blood Flow Through the Heart” packet as a reference. • GET MY AUTOGRAPH BEFORE MOVING ON TO #2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! • 2. Color boxes that carry oxygenated blood RED. • 3. Color the boxes with the parts that carry deoxygenated blood BLUE • Color the boxes with the parts that carry oxygenated blood AND deoxygenated blood PURPLE
