Unit 1 The human body


Topic 1.1: The circulatory system
Focus
1. Heart, blood and blood vessels (in any order)
2 a. The heart pumps blood through the body.
b. The left side of the heart pumps blood that contains oxygen.
c. The right side of the heart pumps blood without oxygen to the lungs.
d. Blood is carried in the blood vessels.
e. Blood carries food and oxygen to all parts of the body and takes away
waste products.

Practice
3 a. B b. C c. A d. B e. C
Challenge 4
b. Marcus’s pulse rate was lowest when he was sitting still. The body needs
less food and oxygen when it is still or inactive, so the heart does not have
to beat fast.
c. Playing football
d. Yes. The measurement for digging. The pulse rate measured is low
although he is doing a physical activity. We would expect the measurement
to be higher.
e. He should do all the activities for the same length of time, then measure
his pulse rate. He should also start each activity after a period of rest
(sitting still) to allow his heartbeat to return to normal.
f. Body activity/exercise makes the pulse rate increase.
g. Marcus’s pulse rate would increase. The more active you are, i.e.
pedaling faster, the more often your heart must beat to carry enough food
and oxygen from the blood to your muscles.

Topic 1.2: The respiratory system


Focus
1. We breathe in air through our nose or mouth. The air we breathe in
contains oxygen gas. The air moves down the windpipe and into our
lungs. The oxygen in the air then moves from the lungs into the blood. We
breathe out air that contains carbon dioxide gas. The ribs protect our
respiratory system.

Practice
3 Nose and mouth → windpipe → lungs → blood

Topic 1.3: The reproductive system


Focus
1. Reproduction – making more individuals of the same kind of living thing
Puberty – the age at which a person becomes able to reproduce
Ovum – female sex cell
Fertilisation – joining of a male sex cell and female sex cell
Uterus – the baby develops here
Testis – male sex cells are made here
Sperm – male sex cell
Ovary – female sex cells are made here
