If you were absent you will need to make that up in the Testing Center when you get back. Then we took notes on the Components of Blood. My PowerPoint and the guided notes are attached below. For h.w. you need to Read Section 38.3 in the Textbook on the Respiratory System and answer the Section Review Questions. As always, these should be typed. Good Luck!

Today's Learning Target:
I can explain the pathway blood travels through the heart, lungs, and body, and can identify where the blood is oxygenated or deoxygenated.I can distinguish between arteries, veins, and capillaries. Today we viewed an animation showing the pathway blood travels through the heart. I have it linked below for you. Then we watched the video, "The Universe Within." The only h.w. is to study for the quiz tomorrow over the Cardiovascular system. It will cover textbook sections 38.1 and 38.2. Blood and Blood pressure will NOT be on the quiz though. We will discuss that tomorrow in class after the quiz. Be sure to look at my PowerPoint from last Thursday. Happy studying!
