PATH OF BLOOD AS A SUBWAY MAP

 

THE LONDON TUBE MAP

We will use A HUGE map of the circulatory system to represents a subway with stations.  The stations are the lungs, heart, legs, head, intestines, liver, kidneys and all the arteries and veins that connect them.  We will model the passengers entering and leaving this subway today. 

 
REVIEW THE NOTES on the path of blood

Pieces of lego two kinds to be cars on the subway

Hemoglobin car

Plasma car

These are the passengers : 

Oxygen

Carbon dioxide

HCO3 -,  H+

Waste

Nutrients 

Now everyone take a hemoglobin car and start at the lung, oxygen hops on at the lung.  Follow it to the heart aorta and lets go to legs where oxygen gets off and carbon dioxide hops on. 

Put a plasma car on and pick up carbon dioxide too.  Now travel back to heart then lungs, CO2 gets off and oxygen gets on…

Model the rest of the passengers going through the entire system.  Remember that

Oxygen and CO2 can ride on hemoglobin car and everyone but oxygen rides on the plasma car

Assignment 

Create a subway map of the Human Circulatory System which includes
all the major destinations.

1.  indicate arteries and veins as different lines.  Show the direction of the line using arrows. 60 marks
2.  Stations are different areas of the body (Head,  arms, Feet, Liver, Intestine...) and the Heart should be four stations ( left and right ventricle: left and right atrium).  10 marks you mention all stations and none are missing
3.  The map is neat and colourful, inked and it  looks great 60 marks
         55--60 marks - it is easy to read, colourful and inked and extraordinarily creative.
      50 marks - It's impressive!  It's neat, clean and very well done
     45 marks - it is coloured and inked and complete
   0-30 marks- good start, but you probably needed more time
