Cardiovascular System
The Heart
The heart is a muscular organ divided into four chambers: the right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium, and left ventricle. It is responsible for pumping blood throughout the body.
Blood Vessels
Arteries, veins, and capillaries make up the blood vessel system, playing crucial roles in transporting blood and facilitating gas exchange with tissues.
Blood
Blood consists of plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. It carries nutrients, oxygen, and waste products to and from the body's tissues.

Energy
Students who demonstrate understanding can:
Create a computational model to calculate the change in the energy of one component in a system when the change in energy of the other component(s) and energy flows in and out of the system are known.
Develop and use models to illustrate that energy at the macroscopic scale can be accounted for as either motions of particles or energy stored in fields.
