The raw materials that man needs to power his thoughts and actions are carried by the blood
through a network of arteries, veins, and capillaries.
Arteries and arterioles (except the pulmonary artery) carry oxygenated blood from the heart to the
body tissues.
Veins (except the pulmonary vein) carry deoxygenated blood from the body tissues back to the
heart.
Capillaries (from Latin "capillus" meaning hair-like) are fine, microscopic tubes that connect veins
and arteries. It is in the capillaries that part of the plasma diffuses from the blood and becomes lymph.

Show a bulb, a socket and a battery and call for volunteers to make the bulb light.
Why can no one make the bulb light? What is missing?

Presentation
The bulb is like a part of your body such as your brain, eyes, skin, stomach, lungs, and so on. The battery is like
your heart. It pumps electricity into the bulb to make it work. But the bulb and the battery would not work unless there
is a wire. The wire is what connects the bulb and the battery. In todays lesson, we shall find out what connects the
heart with the different parts of the body; and we shall differentiate them from one another.

Observe a video clip of blood cells flowing through blood vessels. These blood cells carry the materials
needed by the body to power its thoughts and actions. Like electricity in an electric circuit or water in a
plumbing system, what do the blood cells need in order to flow to where the materials are needed?
What are three kinds of blood vessels?
What is the difference between an artery and a vein?
Why do arteries have elastic muscular walls as compared to the thinner and rigid walls of the veins?
What do veins have in order to prevent the backflow of blood?
What do you call the contraction of the artery as felt in the wrist, temple, and neck?
Why are capillaries so called? What are their functions?
What is lymph?

What are the three kinds of blood vessels?

How do they differ from one another?

Application/Integration
Life is like a puzzle. Living life comfortably and productively, is like solving a puzzle. There are clues to guide
you every step along the way. How does it feel to be able to finally solve the puzzle?
