Circulatory System for Kids | Learn all about how blood travels through the body
Did you know that the circulatory system in your body stretches for more than 60,000 miles? In this video for kids, you will learn that this is the most important system in our bodies. It is responsible for bringing blood, nutrients, and oxygen to all parts of the body, as well as for healing wounds. You can see why this is such an important process!
There are two parts that make up the circulatory system: the heart and blood vessels. Blood vessels include arteries, veins, and capillaries. The heart has four chambers total—two ventricles and two atria. The left and right ventricles of the heart are located at the bottom. These chambers pump blood out of the heart. The left and right atria at the top of the heart receive blood into the heart. Every time your heart beats, these four chambers are doing their job!
The other part is the collection of blood vessels. Arteries carry blood away from the heart, veins carry blood to the heart, and capillaries connect arteries and veins. Because blood contains the nutrients and oxygen we need, our blood vessels are responsible for getting those important things to all parts of the body.
As you now know, blood contains several important things. Besides nutrients and oxygen, blood also carries plasma, which is a yellowish liquid. This liquid is responsible for carrying proteins, nutrients, and hormones to the rest of the body. It is made of mostly water that comes from the food and water we consume. Plasma also carries away waste from the cells.
We hope you and your student(s) enjoyed learning about these four different landforms! If you want to learn even more, head over to our website and download one of our many free lesson plans about landforms, full of activities, worksheets, and more!
