BLOOD CIRCULATORY SYSTEM

The human circulatory system is one of the most

important systems in the human body. By

interacting with nearly every other body system it

helps our body maintain homeostasis with the

outside environment.

The circulatory system (cardiovascular system) pumps

blood from the heart to the lungs to get oxygen. The heart

then sends oxygenated blood through arteries to the rest

of the body. The veins carry oxygen-poor blood back to the

heart to start the circulation process over.

A basic rendition of the circulatory with arteries and veins,

showing all stops the blood makes along the way. Notice how

there are multiple paths the blood can take, it is not just 1

defined route each time.

The circulatory system is made up of blood, blood

cells, the lungs, the liver, the heart, and affects the

entire body

The circulatory system’s function is to move blood throughout the body. This blood circulation

keeps organs, muscles and tissues healthy and working to keep you alive.

The circulatory system also helps your body get rid of waste products. This waste includes:

Carbon dioxide from respiration (breathing).


Other chemical byproducts from your organs.
Waste from things you eat and drink.
What are the circulatory system parts?
The parts of your circulatory system are your:

Heart, a muscular organ that pumps blood throughout your body.


Blood vessels, which include your arteries, veins and capillaries.
Blood, made up of red and white blood cells, plasma and platelets.
