DESCRIPTION
The Circulatory System. Transportation system by which oxygen and nutrients reach the body's cells, and waste materials are carried away. . Also carries substances called hormones, which control body processes, and antibodies to fight invading germs. . - PowerPoint PPT PresentationTRANSCRIPT

Transportation system by which oxygen and nutrients reach the
body's cells, and waste materials are carried away.

Also carries substances called hormones, which control body processes, and antibodies to
fight invading germs.

Parts of the Circulatory System
• Divided into three major parts:– The Heart – The Blood – The Blood Vessels
![Page 6: The Circulatory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815e25550346895dcc7ec3/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The heart, the lungs, and the blood vessels work together to
form the circle part of the circulatory system.

Circulation
• Two parts • Heart acts as double pump• Blood from the right side pump is dark red
and low in oxygen (oxygen-poor)
![Page 8: The Circulatory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815e25550346895dcc7ec3/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Circulation
• Travels through pulmonary arteries to lungs where it gets fresh oxygen and becomes bright red
• Blood from lungs through pulmonary veins back to the heart's left side pump
• Pumped out into the body

3 Kinds of Circulation:
• Pulmonary circulation• Coronary circulation• Systemic circulation
![Page 11: The Circulatory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815e25550346895dcc7ec3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Pulmonary Circulation
Movement of blood from the heart, to the lungs, and back to the heart again
![Page 13: The Circulatory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815e25550346895dcc7ec3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Coronary Circulation
Movement of blood through the tissues of the heart
![Page 15: The Circulatory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815e25550346895dcc7ec3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Systemic Circulation
Supplies nourishment to all of the tissue located throughout the body , except for
the heart and lungs
![Page 17: The Circulatory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815e25550346895dcc7ec3/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Blood Vessels
Hollow tubes that circulate your blood
![Page 18: The Circulatory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815e25550346895dcc7ec3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Three Kinds of Blood Vessels
• Arteries• Veins• Capillaries
![Page 19: The Circulatory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815e25550346895dcc7ec3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Arteries
• Carry blood AWAY from the heart• Heart pumps blood • Main artery called the aorta • Aorta divides and branches • Many smaller arteries • Each region of your body has system of
arteries supplying it with fresh, oxygen-rich blood.
![Page 20: The Circulatory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815e25550346895dcc7ec3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Arteries
• Tough on the outside • Smooth on the inside • Muscular wall helps the heart pump blood
![Page 21: The Circulatory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815e25550346895dcc7ec3/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Have strong, muscular walls
The inner layer is very smooth so that the blood can flow easily
![Page 23: The Circulatory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815e25550346895dcc7ec3/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Capillaries
• Very thin• Only one cell thick• Connect arteries & veins
![Page 24: The Circulatory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815e25550346895dcc7ec3/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Capillaries
• Food and oxygen released to the body cells
• Carbon dioxide and other waste products returned to the bloodstream
![Page 27: The Circulatory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815e25550346895dcc7ec3/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Valves are located inside the veins. The valves only allow blood to move in one direction.

Veins
• Carry blood to the heart• Receive blood from the capillaries• Transport waste-rich/ oxygen-poor blood
back to the lungs and heart • Valves are located inside the veins • Allow blood to move in one direction
![Page 32: The Circulatory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815e25550346895dcc7ec3/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
The Heart
• Size of your fist • Thick muscular walls • Divided into two pumps • Each pump has two chambers • Upper chamber - atrium receives blood
coming in from the veins • Lower chamber - ventricle squeezes blood
out into the arteries
![Page 34: The Circulatory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815e25550346895dcc7ec3/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Close up of heart valveHeart sounds are made by the valves
as they open and close

Blood
• Pumped by your heart. • Travels through thousands of miles of
blood vessels• Carries nutrients, water, oxygen and waste
products to and from your body cells. • Made up of liquids, solids and small
amounts of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
![Page 36: The Circulatory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815e25550346895dcc7ec3/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Blood
• The major role of red blood cells (hemoglobin) is to carry oxygen and food to all the cells of the body.
• Takes carbon dioxide and transports it back to the lungs
• About 5 million Red Blood Cells in ONE drop of blood.
![Page 38: The Circulatory System](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815e25550346895dcc7ec3/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Blood
• White blood cells protect the body from germs
• Attack and destroy germs when they enter the body

Blood
• Platelets are blood cells that help stop bleeding

Blood
• Plasma is the liquid part of the blood• About half of your blood is made of plasma• The plasma carries the blood cells
throughout the body• Plasma is made in the liver.
