The Human Heart We have all heard our hearts beating. You may have even felt it pounding in your chest after running or exerting yourself. But do you understand why your heart beats the way it does? It is both an organ and a muscle. In fact, the heart is the most important muscle in your body. Without it, you would not be alive. This Heart Won’t Break Your heart is just the size of a fist, but it is often described as the strongest muscle. That is because it never stops working. Its job is to pump blood all over your body, giving your cells oxygen and other things they need to stay alive. It sits in the middle of your chest, surrounded by ribs that protect it from any type of damage. That’s just how important your heart is! Listen to the Beat But how exactly does your heart pump blood? It is able to do this because of its structure. We have all seen and drawn pictures of hearts as a symbol of love, but the human heart actually looks very different from these pictures. It is made up of four different sections, called chambers . There are two chambers on the top and two on the bottom. The two chambers on the top of the heart are called the atria , and the two chambers on the bottom are called the ventricles . These chambers have different jobs, but they work together as a team. The atria at the top of the heart fill up with blood from the lungs and the rest of the body. Then they push this blood into the ventricles at the bottom of the heart. Once the ventricles receive the blood, they pump it out of the heart and into the body. While this is happening, the atria are already filling up with more blood to be sent to the ventricles and pumped out again. All of this pumping creates the heartbeats that you can hear and feel. Each thump is the sound of your heart muscle contracting and blood being pumped out of your heart. The blood comes into your heart’s atria, obtaining oxygen from your lungs. It is then released through your ventricles to send this oxygen throughout your body. Your heart has a set of valves that open and close over the chambers, allowing the blood to flow through your heart at a steady pace. Let It Flow What happens after the ventricles pump the blood out of the heart? That’s when your blood vessels come in. These vessels are made up of arteries and veins that circulate the blood, or carry it through your body. The blood vessels are like highways that all connect to the heart. Arteries carry blood away from the heart, and veins carry blood back to the heart. After the heart pumps out blood, it takes less than a single minute for oxygen to reach every part of your body. Your heart is an amazing muscle that beats a hundred thousand times a day! It is important to keep this hardworking muscle strong and healthy by exercising and eating right. If you treat your heart right, it will continue to do its job for a long, long time to come. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1 What would happen if the valves did not work properly? A.

10 How does blood enter into the heart? A. Arteries carry blood away from the heart, separate oxygen from the blood, and then bring the blood back to the heart. B. Oxygen directs blood through the blood vessels and carries it to the heart. C. Veins carry blood back to the heart after the blood delivers oxygen and other nutrients to living cells. D. Ventricles fill the heart with blood by pulling it in from the rest of the body. Master ID: 297739 Revision: 4 Correct: C Rationale: A. Arteries carry blood away from the heart to other parts of the body, but they do not return blood to the heart. B. Although oxygen is found in blood, it does not deliver blood to the heart. C. In the passage, it is explained that veins carry blood to the heart once the blood has provided oxygen and nutrients to living cells in the body. D. Ventricles are the lower chambers of the heart that receive blood from the atria; they are unrelated to how the heart initially gets blood. Rubric: 1 Point(s) Standards: ELAGSE5RI3 11 How do blood vessels help the heart complete its task? A. They make sure the blood reaches every part of the body and returns to the heart. B. They divide the heart into four different sections, or chambers. C. They take oxygen from the blood and carry it through the body. D. They help the heart’s ventricles pump blood to the body’s veins and arteries. Master ID: 297738 Revision: 4 Correct: A Rationale: A. Arteries and veins are both blood vessels; arteries carry blood to every part of the body, and veins bring the blood back to the heart. B. Blood vessels help to make up the system connected to the heart, but they are not part of the structure of the heart muscle. C. The blood vessels carry oxygen-filled blood throughout the body; they do not take oxygen from the blood and then carry it. D. Arteries are blood vessels that accept the blood from the heart’s ventricles, but they do not help the heart pump the blood out. Rubric: 1 Point(s) Standards: ELAGSE5RI3 12 Read the sentence from paragraph 3. It is able to do this because of its structure. The word structure includes the Latin root struct , which means "build." What does the word structure mean? A. the place something is found B. how something feels C. why something is used D. the way something is made Master ID: 298038 Revision: 4 Correct: D Rationale: A. The structure of something is not the place it is found, but rather how it is made. B. Based on the Latin root struct , a "structure" would not be how something feels. C. The word "structure" means the makeup of something or how it is made, not why it is used. D. The Latin root struct means "build," so it makes sense that a structure is something that is made.

Frogs An amphibian is a creature that spends part of its life in water and the other part of its life on land. The prefix amphi comes from the Greek language and means both. One of the most commonly seen amphibians is the fro. Frogs begin their lives as an egg in water. They go through a variety of changes before they are able to leave the water and live on land. Once a frog hatches from its gel-textured egg, it turns into a tadpole. As time passes, the tail of a tadpole gets smaller and legs begin to form. A tadpole begins to look like a miniature frog. Once its lungs develops, the young frog leaves the water and begins life on land. There are over 5000 different species of frogs on the planet. They can be found on almost every continent. Most frogs live nearby water although they can survive in a variety of different habitats. Similar to frogs, are toads. They are actually the same type of creatures except toads have bumpy skin. In addition, toads often have shorter hind les and wider bodies. Frogs on the other hand come in a variety of bright colors. Toads are often in shades pf pale green or pale yellow. The way that they eat their food is also different. Frogs have teeth for chewing. Toads do not and must eat their food whole. Frogs hunt insects for food. Some frogs also consume small animals. In order to catch its prey a frog uses its sticky tongue. The sticky tongue makes it difficult for prey to escape. First, the frog catches it's prey and pulls it into it's mouth, then it is eaten. Frogs use their excellent vision to hide from predators as well as catch prey. They can look in different directions at the same time. Their sharp vision also helps them locate food and the subtle movements of prey. 15 What is the meaning of amphibian ? A. A frog or toad that lives in water. B. A Greek word meaning both. C. A creature that spends parts of its life on land and part of its life in the water. D. A creature that has bumpy skin. Master ID: 3751554 Revision: 1 Correct: C Standards: ELAGSE5RI4 16 At some point during development, frogs leave the water for life on land. Why does this occur? A. Due to its size, a frog is safer on land. B. Once a frog is old enough, it spends the rest of its life in water. C. There is a larger amount of food for frogs to eat on land. D. Their developed lungs are most suited for breathing air.
