13. When a muscle contracts (shortens) it pulls on
the tendon which pulls on the bone to cause
movement.
Muscles work in pairs because they can only pull,
not push (one pulls arm up, other pulls arm
down)
Pairs of muscles work in the opposite direction –
antagonistic pairs
Tendons connect muscle to bone
Ligaments link bones
16. Many animals have skeletal systems that are very
similar to ours.
Our leg is very much like that of a chicken leg
including:
• femur (thigh bone)
• knee (hinge joint)
• fibula and tibia (smaller bones of the shin)
• cartilage
• ligaments
These are all part of our skeletal system. Beyond
that, we also have similar muscle structure, tendons,
fat, and skin. We will be exploring each of these
similar characteristics.

Transports nutrients, water, and oxygen
to your billions of body cells so they can
function
Carries away wastes such as carbon
dioxide that body cells produce.
Parts of the Circulatory System
The Heart
The Blood
Blood Vessels – Arteries, veins,
capillaries
32. 09/02/2015
Blood carries food, oxygen and
hormones to the cells around your
body, it removes wastes, carbon
dioxide and extra heat from the
cells.
Blood is made up of:
• Plasma – saline solution, blood
is mostly this
• Red blood cells – transport CO2
& O2
• Blood platelets – clotting agent
• White blood cells – fight
infection
33. There are three types of vessels in the human
body, and each have a special structure and
function
Arteries take blood away from the heart, they are
thick walled to withstand the pressure of the
pumping blood
Veins take blood back to the heart and have valves
to prevent the blood flowing backwards
Capillaries are thin walled so that gases can diffuse
through to cells
