Ruby’s Journey Through the Body
ReplyDeleteHi my name is, Ruby, the red blood cell. Today I am going to show you what I do in the body. I start inn the heart. I start in the right atrium. Also known as the oxygen – poor side of the heart. Next I go to the right ventricle. Then I travel to the lungs. During my trip at the lugs I exchange with the lungs. I give the lungs co2 and the lungs give me o2. Then I exit the lungs and go back to the heart. Except this time I am in the oxygen rich side of the heart. Then I go out of the artery and into the capillaries. While in the capillaries I exchange with cells. The cells give me o2 and I give them co2. Then I go back up to the heart. I get to the heart by going up the veins. Then I do the same journey over and over. This is what I do in the human body.
Ruby the blood red cell
ReplyDeleteRuby (the red blood cell) was starting in the capillaries and going into the cells, it was trading O2(O2 is oxygen this is not waste) for CO2 (CO2 is waste). (CO2 is carbon dioxide)
Then it went up to the vein where the blood goes to the right atrium. It was doing its job with its friends, just hanging out and chilling. They went down into the right ventricle (Located in the heart).
When they reached the lungs they traded oxygen for carbon dioxide. They went to the left atrium and to left ventricle (these are also part of the heart). Then they traveled to the artery and to the capillaries. Their (the red blood cells) cycle just keeps on going. It is a really fast cycle that the red blood cells do every day even when you are asleep.
Ruby’s Journey
ReplyDeleteThrough the Body
Hi, I’m Ruby the Red Blood cell and today, I will be demonstrating what I do for a living!
First, we’re starting off in the lungs, where all the human’s breathing happens. With the lungs, I exchange my CO2 for its O2.
Now, we’re moving onto the heart, where it pumps blood! I go through the heart’s right atrium, because that’s where the sightseeing begins! Then, we venture on to the right ventricle, where all the blood cells are lined up in a line! Now we are traveling to the capillaries, but first we go through the artery!
Now we’re in the capillaries, exchanging my O2 (Oxygen) for my friend’s CO2 (Carbon Dioxide)!
We’re going through the artery. Now, we’re traveling into the heart’s left ventricle and the left atrium!
Now we’re in the lungs, at the end of the
trip. Before you go, I must tell you that my main job is to transfer sugar, O2, and CO2 to you’re body when it needs it. That’s my life cycle, and thank you for listening!
By Daniella
ReplyDeleteOne day Ruby the red blood cell was wondering through the arty when she ran into her cousin Red. Red was actually looking for Ruby! Red wanted to know if Ruby wanted to go on a tour of Daniella’s circular system with him, and of course Ruby said yes! The tour was this Friday and it was Monday so Ruby went to blood cell school all week took and took CO2 to the capillaries, and on Friday after school she met Red at the bus stop like they agreed so they could make there way over to Daniellas right lung and the tour guide was waiting for us with some other blood cells we felt a little weird because we were the last blood cells to get there. We started the tour at Daniellas right lung right next to the bus stop. Red thought it was weird how the lung was moving but I thought it was cool. After that we went the right side of the heart and the blood was blue I guess that means the oxygen is poor. We went inside of the right vein and it was kind of weird though. After that we went inside the right side of the capillaries it was cool looking but not as cool as the artery that was awesome! Then we went into the left side of the hart had oxygen rich unlike the right side of the hart it had oxygen poor. After that we went through a vein that was in the chamber and after that we went to the left lung and then the tour was over and me and Red went back home and now we know all about the circular system!
Ruby woke up this morning, ready to work. She flowed her way to the right lung and saw her friend, Richard. “Hey Ruby, how’s it going?” said Richard.
ReplyDelete“Okay, I guess. I just woke up and I’m really tired because I had to work the long shift last night.” she said. “Aw ‘cause I wanted to race you to see who was faster but since your tired…..”Richard said. “I’ll do it!” she blurted out. So they got the CO2 from right lung and gave the right lung some O2 and got ready to start. Their other friend, Ruth, started the race “On your mark…get set…. GO!!!” she yelled.
Ruby started fast, going down the left atrium then down the left ventricle (which are both in the heart) and didn’t let anything get her way. Usually, when she would go down artery, she would stop to get a drink and would relax, but she didn’t think twice. When she got to the capillaries, she scurried in line and then she saw that when she was in the front of the line, Richard was in the back of the line! As, soon as she got rid of the CO2, she got a drink of water and relaxed, but when she saw Richard coming out of the capillaries, she swam as fast as she could. When she finally got out of the vein, into right atrium then down the right ventricle and into the left lung she was huffing and puffing and out of air.
“I see that you have won, but you suffered to win. I lost, but I’m not out of breath. For being a good sport, I say that we should get a drink of water at that place to celebrate.” After the drink of water in the left lung, she went home and got a good night sleep.
Ruby the Red Blood Cell: Adventure
ReplyDeleteIn the Human Body
Hey Friends!! I am Ruby, the red blood cell, in your body, and every single human body in Earth. I got three main jobs: transport nutrients (sugar), oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2). You might ask me, what is my favorite part, I will say... trading O2 for CO2. This is happens in the circulatory system. And that is what I will be talking about. Something interesting about me that I can start off from anywhere because I don’t start from a specific place. This is a “circulatory” system. To understand, think it as a circle, because this system kinda looks like a circle. Circles do not start from a specific place. They can start from the right, or the left, or any other places. Since I like the capillary, I’ll start this story’s adventure from there.
The capillaries come down to the cell, where I trade O2 for CO2. You might think where do I get the O2? But I get the O2 from a different place. David is the cell. This is how it goes:
“Knock knock.”
“Who is it?”
“RUBY!”
“Hey Ruby, here for CO2?”
“Oh yes David! And I sure got some fresh looking O2!”
“Well here you go! Oh! And tell my sister hi for me!”
“Sure... Bye then!”
Yes, David, has a sister. I’ll tell you who she is later.
After I get my CO2 I go outside of the cell, Which is the vein. The vein also leads me to the heart. Meaning the vein is the way in which blood goes into the heart. The heart has 4 chambers. I have to go through those.
The first chamber is the right atrium. Then down to the right ventricle. From there, up to the lungs. In the lungs, there is anther exchanging station. And I exchange with, Ashley!!! My best friend!!! . I trade CO2 for O2 with her. Here is how it goes with her:
“Hey Ashley” It is me Ruby!”
“Hey Ruby! I have some O2 for you!”
“I have a “hi” from your brother and CO2 for you!”
“Thanks! Here is O2 for you!”
For you to know, you might want to thank her, because when you exhale, you breathe out CO2. And CO2 is like a waste. Meaning O2 is what you need in your body, and CO2 is what you don’t need and she takes it away.
After I get my O2 I go down back to the heart. This time the chamber I go to is called the left atrium. Then down to the left ventricle, which leads me to the artery, which leads me down to the capillary. Yes then I do this same thing again.
That is pretty much my life. I like doing this job, because then I get to help you and every single human body on Earth. You can feel bad for me, but it is not necessary. Hope you understand my wonderful life journey!!!

Hi reader I am ,ruby, the red blood cell and I am in your body doing my few jobs and here are some things I do I transport nutrients, sugar ,oxygen, and carbon dioxide. To start my job I begin in the capillaries. My friend Bob, the blood comes from the oxygen rich side and trades o2 the co2 then I head threw the right atrium then to the right ventricle.
ReplyDeleteNext, I head over to the lungs and split with the other blood cells. Then I trade co2 for o2 with the lungs . I go back towards the heart and come to the left atrium then to the left ventricle. I now know that the trip is almost over so I can do the trip again.
Then I head threw the arteries and finally back to the capillaries to start again on my rounds.

Let’s take a look at what a red blood, named Ruby, does.
ReplyDeleteRuby starts her life at the bone marrow. A soft tissue inside your bone that produces new cells each minute! Ruby then goes through all the capillaries(veins) ending up at the heart. The heart has four chambers. The left ventricle, left atrium, the right ventricle, and the right atrium. Ruby first goes to the right ventricle, and right atrium(oxygen poor/right side of heart). Then she goes up her way to the lungs where she delivers her CO2 and receives her very special 02(oxygen).
After moving so much Ruby goes down to the right atrium, and right ventricle(oxygen rich. Right side of heart) where she goes out of the artery. And her process starts again.
Cells don’t live very long. They live about 4 months then new cells replace them.
Hello everybody! I’m Ruby, the Red Blood Cell, right now isn’t a really good time to talk now because I’M SLIDIIINGGG DOWN TTHHHHE…AAAORTTTTAA! Woof! Just so you know the aorta transport the blood cells from the lungs to the heart. Well right now I’m walking down the left atrium and it’s so big. WOW! It’s huge it like a highway I see blood cells everywhere. Oops the officer told me to go to the left ventricle (which is in the heart). Right now I’m running down the left ventricle. There is a lot of pressure down here. OHOH! I’m getting pushed out the left ventricle now I’m Sliding down the artery to go to the capillaries. BOOP! Ouch! I bumped into another Red Blood Cell.
ReplyDelete“Oops! Are you alright?” I asked
“Yeah! Are you?” asked the other red blood cell.
“What’s your name?” I asked.
“ I’m Arthur. And you?” Arthur asked.
“ I’m Ruby.” I said.
“Where you going?” he asked.
“To the cells to give them 02,” I said.
“If you want you could come,” I said.
“Sure,” he said.
So off we went into the cells down we were in the capillaries here we are the cells, but then suddenly I didn’t see Arthur then I started to worry. So I tried to look for him but I didn’t see him then I tried to retrace my steps hoping to find him. Then I got pushed out of the cells because I wanted to find Arthur, but I remembered I have to give O2 to the cells so I ran back into the cells and the cells told me to take out the trash, which is CO2. So I said sure so up I went through the vein, down the right atrium the n to the right ventricle and up the vein ‘till suddenly I bumped into something and I saw Arthur.
“I been looking everywhere for you!” he told me.
“ I have been too it’s just I lost you in the cells,” I said.
I was so glad to see Arthur again so I told him that I have to take out the trash for the cells then I have to go to the market and bring them something.
“ Okay, If you want I could go with you,” he said.
“ Sure if you want,” I said.
So to the trashcan we went to throw out the trash for the cells which is somewhere in the lungs. Then Arthur and I went to the market (lungs) and bought the things the cells needed. So when we finished we went down the artery, down the left atrium, down the left ventricle, slid down the artery, and finally into the capillaries so then I went down to the cell.
“Thank you so much,” the cells said.
“ You are very welcome,” I said.
So I introduced them to Arthur.
“ Hey you want to come over on Sunday for a party?” the cells asked.
“Sure, should I bring something?” I asked.
“ No, I mean you don’t have to” the cells said.
“ You want to come too Arthur?” they asked.
“Sure,” Arthur said.
“Thank you.” Arthur said.
Then Sunday came very fast and Arthur came to my work, which is at the lungs, and we got ready to go to the cells. It was such an adventurous week.
THE END!
Hi! My name is Ruby! I’m a red blood cell. I carry three things in your body. Those three things are: oxygen, nutrients (aka sugar), and carbon dioxide or CO2. Although, right now I will tell you how I carry oxygen and CO2 to your whole body.
ReplyDeleteOxygen is the reason why you are alive and breathing right now! CO2 is my waste and my cell friends’ waste. You (the human beings) take it (CO2) out for us by exhaling. You give us oxygen by inhaling! Thanks! If you say hi my friends and I would reply back but you won’t hear me though.
So right now I am with my other friends. They call themselves “The Capillaries” They must be narrow because the cells have to move in a singe file line. The Capillaries are everywhere in a human body.
They are awesome friends. One moment… sorry I was just exchanging oxygen to give to my other cell friends. After that I took their CO2, which is also their waste.
This is how my conversation went with the Capillaries and the cells.
“Hi Ruby!” this is one of my other cell friends, Cleo.
“Hey Cleo! You ready for me to collect your CO2?”
“When was I not? Take it! Yay!” Cleo is very dramatic.
So then the Capillaries give me their CO2 (They get the CO2 from the cells that pass through them.) and I give them the oxygen I have, so they can give Cleo some. So now I take her CO2 and I will now carry it to the lungs.
My journey to the lungs sometimes makes me feel blue. Just kidding. You get it? Makes me feel blue? Blue Vein? Never mind it’s a cell joke.
So I go into the vein and then I get pumped to the right atrium, the right ventricle (that side is also called oxygen –poor). Up-up-up I go and…
Finally I’m at the lungs! I give my CO2 to the Lungs, (sometimes they call themselves “The Lunginator!”) and they give me oxygen to give to the cells! The lungs get the oxygen every time we inhale or breathe in.
Now I will go to the arteries. Wait! Before I forget to tell you, the difference between an artery and a vein. A vein is the tube that goes in the heart and has the blood with CO2 coming in. An artery is the tube that is going out the heart and that is taking out the blood with the oxygen.
I am now in the heart. I am in the left atrium, going down the left ventricle (this side is also called oxygen-rich), and voila! I go back to the capillaries and start all over again!
I am done with my journey in the circulatory system. This may seem overwhelming but my job is awesome! I’ll be in you! Bye! Remember, keep breathing!
Hi, I am Ruby the red blood cell. I live in your body as well as other bodies. I carry 3 things in your body. I carry sugar, CO2, and O2. Right now I will tell you how I carry oxygen and exchange CO2 in your body.
ReplyDeleteRight now l am in the left lung. Next I go through the heart. I got through there fast. Then I go to the artery. Then I went to the left atrium. Next I go to the left ventricle. Next I go to the capillaries. In the capillaries I exchange Co2 for o2. After that I go to the veins. They are so small that you can only go one by one. Then I went to the right atrium. Then next I go to the right ventricle. After I go to the artery. Next I go to the right lung. Then the cycle starts all over again.
CO2 is waste and o2 is oxygen. When you breathe in its o2 and when you breathe out its CO2. This system is called the circulatory system. Well bye now.
Ruby the Blood Cell
ReplyDeleteHello my name is ruby I travel everywhere threw the body. I have a hard job I think I work night and day. I have friends that looks like me really much it is like I have twins. I like my name because it describe my color
I am a cell that carry’s o2 and is stands for oxygen. Then they give me c02 and that stands for carbon dioxide. But the thing is I don’t have legs and no arms. First I start in the lungs that’s where I exchange o2 and they give me c02. Then I go to the left atrium. Second I go to the left ventricle that is in the heart and then I go to the artery. Third I go to the capillaries and there I exchange. Then I go to the vein. The vein is important because it pumps blood to the heart. Fourth I go to the right atrium then I go to the right ventricle.
She goes again, again and that is called a cycle. She has a lot friends and she has a big family. Doesn’t she travel a lot.
Hi, I’m Ruby the red blood cell. I am going to tell you the life of a blood cell. First, when I exchange CO2 for O2 in the capillaries. So, I can give the O2 to the lungs. Then, I need to go through the veins in to the heart. So, I can pass by the right atrium and through the right ventricle. Then, I go all the way up to the lungs. Next, I trade the O2 for CO2 in the lungs. Later, I go through the heart again. So, I can go to the left atrium and then through the left ventricle to get more O2 Finally, I go back to the capillaries by the other two chambers of the heart (left) get more O2 and the cycle form all again forever.
