For each statement tick (√) the correct column to show if the statement is true or false.
True False
the heart pumps blood around the body
the blood picks up oxygen in the lungs
the nose is part of the circulatory system
ventilation of the lungs is called respiration

Complete each statement by underlining the correct word in the box.
• Blood travels to the lungs which are found in the .........................
head thorax throat
• Blood travels to all parts of the body through blood
pipes tubes vessels

13. The photograph shows a racing cyclist crouching low over the handlebars..
Here are five statements about a cyclist’s pulse rate when riding in a race.
Tick (√) the one statement that is correct.
their pulse rate will decrease because they are crouching
their pulse rate will decrease because they are breathing quickly
their pulse rate will increase because their muscles need more oxygen
their pulse rate will increase because they are very fit
