The circulatory system is composed of the heart, blood vessels, and blood, and works to transport blood throughout the body. The heart pumps blood through a network of arteries, veins, and capillaries. Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart while veins return deoxygenated blood back to the heart. Capillaries connect the arteries and veins and allow for the exchange of oxygen, nutrients, waste and more between the blood and tissues. The circulatory system functions to deliver oxygen and nutrients to cells, remove wastes, regulate temperature and protect the body from disease. Common illnesses of the system include arteriosclerosis and hypertension which can restrict blood flow and lead to serious conditions like heart attacks and strokes if

System Also called the cardiovascular system Made up of blood vessels, veins, arteries, capillaries, and the heart that pumps blood throughout the human body Capillaries are small blood vessels An artery is a blood vessel that carries blood from the heart to any other part in the human body A vein is a vessel or tube that carries blood throughout the body Blood vessels are tubes that circulate blood The heart is an organ that pumps blood Supplies cells in a human body with food, and oxygen It takes away the carbon dioxide Regulates a humans body activities with hormones, which are chemical substances
Parts of the Circulatory System
Has three main parts, the heart, blood vessels, and blood.
About the Heart
Heart is a muscular organ that pumps blood Has two pumps that are side by side Left side is stronger than the right Left side receives blood from the lungs to send throughout the body Right side receives blood from the cells in the body and sends it to the lungs
About the Blood Vessels
Connecting tubes in the body Three kinds of blood vessels, arteries, veins, and capillaries Arteries carry blood from the heart Veins return blood to the heart Capillaries are small vessels that connect arteries and the veins.
About the Blood
Mostly made up of plasma
Made mostly of water Also contains proteins, minerals and other things Blood also made up of formed elements These formed elements are red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. Red blood cells carry oxygen and carbon dioxide throughout the body White blood cells help protect the body from disease Platelets release substances that enable blood to collect
Functions of the Circulatory System
Helps with respiration Delivers oxygen to the cells Nutrition Supplies cells in the body with digested food substances Removal of wastes and poisons helps dispose of waste products and poisons that would harm the body if they collect. These substances include carbon dioxide, salts, and ammonia, which is a by-product of the cell's use of protein. Other functions Protects body from disease White blood cells destroy bacteria and viruses As the blood circulates it regulates our body temperature
Illnesses in the Circulatory System
Can damaged by disease or injury. The common disease of the system is arteriosclerosis, which results from the accumulation of fatty deposits in the arteries. thicken the walls of the arteries flow of blood is restricted blood clots develop in the affected vessels lead to a heart attack or a stroke, a condition in which the brain does not receive enough blood. hypertension, commonly called high blood pressure may lead to such complications as a heart attack, a stroke, or kidney failure.
Fun Facts About the Circulatory
System Your veins can wrap around the world 2 times around the world. Blood circulates the entire body in 20 seconds. Ten million blood cells die in the human body every second, and the same quantity is produced at the same time. Blood is only blue if it does not have oxygen in it. A blood vessel is made of seven layers divided into 3 sections.
