Cardiovascular System
Powerpoint Lecture
A good transition away from the movement-centered units of the skeletal system and muscular system is blood and circulation. The cardiovascular system connects the rest of the body systems by providing oxygen and nutrients, while simutaneously removing waste products. This unit covers blood, arteries and veins, and the anatomy of the heart.
Essential concepts: Red blood cells, white blood cells, anemia, blood typing, heart anatomy, pulmonary circulation, heart rhythm, EKG, fetal circulation.
Instructor Resources: A complete test bank, answer keys, and lab guides are available at the subscription page.
