The Human Circulatory System

This KS2 Science quiz explores the different parts of the human circulatory system and how they work together.

The circulatory system is a transportation network for blood, carrying essential stuff to every part of your body. Imagine it as a delivery service for oxygen and food to keep your cells happy and working. Your heart is the hardworking pump that keeps the blood moving through your arteries. After delivering goodies, the blood returns to the heart through the veins. Lungs also play a part by refreshing the blood with oxygen and removing waste.

Take this science quiz to test what you know about the heart, arteries, veins, and more in the human circulatory system.
