    The circulatory system transports oxygen, nutrients, hormones and antibodies throughout the body using the heart, blood and blood vessels. It has three main parts: the heart which acts as a double pump, the blood which carries oxygen and removes waste, and blood vessels including arteries, veins and capillaries that transport blood.

    The Circulatory System

    Transportation system by which


    oxygen and nutrients reach the
    body's cells, and waste materials
    are carried away.
    What is the purpose of the
    circulatory system?

    • To move materials through out the body:


    – Oxygen
    – Carbon dioxide & other wastes
    – Nutrients
    – Hormones
    – Antibodies
    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
    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)
    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
    Pulmonary Circulation

    Movement of blood from the heart, to the


    lungs, and back to the heart again
    sln.fi.edu/biosci/systems/ pulmonary.html
    Coronary Circulation
    Movement of blood through the tissues of
    the heart
    http://sln.fi.edu/biosci2/systems/
    Systemic Circulation
    Supplies nourishment to all of the tissue
    located throughout the body , except for
    the heart and lungs
    http://sln.fi.edu/biosci/systems/systemic.html
    Blood Vessels
    Hollow tubes that circulate your blood
    Three Kinds of Blood Vessels
    • Arteries
    • Veins
    • Capillaries
    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.
    Arteries
    • Tough on the outside
    • Smooth on the inside
    • Muscular wall helps the heart pump blood
    Have strong, muscular walls
    The inner layer is very smooth so that the blood
    can flow easily

    Capillaries
    • Very thin
    • Only one cell thick
    • Connect arteries & veins
    Capillaries
    • Food and oxygen released to the body
    cells
    • Carbon dioxide and other waste products
    returned to the bloodstream

    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
    http://sln.fi.edu/biosci/systems/circulation.html
    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
    http://hes.ucf.k12.pa.us/gclaypo/circdia.html
    Close up of heart valve
    Heart 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.
    Blood
    • Red blood cells carry oxygen from the
    lungs to all the cells of the body.
    • Takes carbon dioxide and transports it
    back to the lungs
    • About 5,000,000 Red Blood Cells in ONE
    drop of blood.
    http://hes.ucf.k12.pa.us/gclaypo/circdia.html
    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.
