Circulatory System Power point

By: Elizabeth Sanders

Parts of the Circulatory System

• Heart- size of your fist, located in the center of your chest slightly to the left. Pumps blood and keeps blood moving throughout the body.

• Blood- carries nutrients, water, oxygen, and waste products through your body. A young person has about one gallon of blood in their body; an adult has about five quarts of blood in their body.

Parts of the Circulatory System

• Blood Vessels- three different types: red, white, and platelets. Red carry oxygen to and carbon dioxide. White help fight off germs. Platelets are cells that help stop bleeding.

Circulatory System

• Maintains transportation and coding of the body.

• Diseases in the Circulatory System:• Angina- severe chest pains• Arrhythmia- where the heart beats with an irregular or

abnormal rhythm• Hypertension- abnormally high blood pressure

What systems it works with

• The Nervous System- sends impulses to make the heart beat.

• The Respiratory System- brings oxygen to the lungs.

Other Facts

• 1.) The heart beats around three billion times an average person’s life.

• 2.) Eight million blood cells die in the human body every second, and the same number are born each second.

• 3.) With each drop of blood, there are five million red blood cells.
