The Helpful Circulatory System

As you run your heart is pumping blood through your body. The heart is working hard to get blood through your arteries and veins to the rest your body. The circulatory system is like a one way transportation highway for your body. It transports helps the oxygen that you inhale get to the rest of your body. It does this by using blood vessels like highways. , andT there are two types of blood vessels. The first type is the arteries they which help carry oxygen filled blood throughout your body. The second type is the veins. They they help carry waste gas like carbon dioxide to your lungs for you to breathe out. There are also three types of cells that flow in your blood. The first one is red blood cells; it carries oxygen into your body and carbon dioxide out. The second type is white blood cells; it helps fight infection, diseases and germs that grow within your body. The last and final type is platelets; they help your blood clot to stop bleeding if you have a cut. The blood is pumped by the main organ of the circulatory system, the heart. The heart is about the same size as an average childs fist and is located behind the sternum. The blood only flows through blood vessels because the left side of the heart squeezes, sending the blood around your body.The heart is about the same size as an average childs fist it and is located behind the sternum. Since this system is connected to the heart we must keep it healthy. To keep it healthy we must not eat too many foods with high fats and cholesterols. Too many of these can block your blood vessels to be blocked by fat, forcing the heart to

pump harder, over working its self. We must also exercise daily; it helps make our hearts fitter reducing the likelihood of getting heart diseases. Speaking of diseases,There there are many diseases that havethat can affecthas to do with the circulatory system b. But the here are two of the most common ones are leukemia and sickle cell anemia. and main ones. The first one is leukemia. Leukemia would makeis when the bone marrow makes too many white blood cells therefore stopping ; it would stop the bone marrow from making red blood cells. It will also prevent the white blood cells from fighting germs properly. The second type is sickle cell anemia. Sickle cell anemia would cause the red blood cells to lose its round shape. cAlso Causing it will to clog blood vessels and make the person feel weak because it cant carry as much oxygen. Just like we interact with friends and family, the circulatory system also interacts with another main system, such as the respiratory system. The respiratory system includes the nose and mouth that we use to breathe in air, it then goes down to the lungs and the red blood cells get oxygen from the alveoli that are in the lungs to bring to the rest of the body. The circulatory system is vital for life so we must protect it.Although there are many diseases, there are ways to prevent the likelihood of catching one. To keep it healthy we must not eat too many foods with high fats and cholesterols.

Comment [HL4]: Theres no need to identify each by number.

Comment [HL5]: How does it affect oxygen rich cells? How does it make a person weaker? Explain.
