    Circulatory System

    Uploaded by

    Dearly Niña Osinsao
    The circulatory system transports oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and cellular waste throughout the body via the heart, blood vessels, and blood. It consists of arteries, which carry oxygenated blood away from the heart; veins, which carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart; and capillaries, which connect arteries and veins. The circulatory system has two circuits - systemic circulation transports blood to all body tissues except the lungs, while pulmonary circulation transports blood to and from the lungs. Blood contains red blood cells to carry oxygen, white blood cells to fight infection, platelets to help clotting, and plasma.

    INTRODUCTION Blood Vessels= made up of arteries, veins, and

    capillaries
    Circulatory System, or cardiovascular system, is
    the combined function of the heart, blood, and Arteries- A vessel that carries blood high in
    blood vessels to transport oxygen throughout oxygen content away from the heart to the
    the body and carry away waste products. farthest reaches of the body.

    Vital Functions: Veins- A blood vessel that carries blood that is


    low in oxygen content from the body back to
    1. Increase the flow of blood to meet the heart.
    increased energy demands during exercise and
    regulates body temperature Capillaries- connecting arteries to veins

    2. Conveys disease-fighting elements of Blood


    the immune system, such as the white blood
    cells and anti-bodies White Blood Cells- disease fighting

    Red Blood Cells- oxygen bearing


    3. Sends clotting cells and proteins to
    the affected site, which quickly stop and Platelets- blood clotting
    promote healing
    Plasma- yellowish consist of water, salts,
    COMPONENTS proteins, vitamins, minerals, hormones,
    heart= the pump (right and left) dissolved gas and fats.

    Serum- plasma without fibrinogen which is


    Pericardium- fibrous sac where heart is
    enclosed essential in blood clotting.

    Myocardium-cardiac muscles in the walls of the TWO TYPES OF CIRCULATION:


    heart Systematic circulation- carries oxygenated
    Four chambers of the heart: blood from the heart to all the tissues in body
    except the lungs and returns deoxygenated
    Right atrium- upper heart chamber responsible blood carrying waste products such as carbon
    for blood circulation dioxide, back to the heart.

    Right ventricle- is the chamber within the heart Pulmonary Circulation- carries the spent blood
    that is responsible for pumping from the heart to the lungs. In the lungs, the
    oxygen depleted blood to the lungs blood releases its carbon dioxide and absorbs
    oxygen. The oxygenated blood then returns to
    Left ventricle- Pump oxygenated blood to the heart before transferring to the systematic
    body circulation.
    Left atrium- holding chamber for blood
    returning from the lungs and to act as a pump
    to transport blood to other areas of the heart.
    1. Coronary circulation- heart (small particles) with enzyme that are released
    during infections , allergic reactions, and
    2. Hepatic Circulation- liver asthma. It is a type of WBC and a type of
    3. Cerebral Circulation- brain granulocyte

    4. Renal Circulation-kidney Basophil- type of immune cell that has granule


    (small particles) with enzyme that are released
    5. Splanchnic Circulation- digestive tract during infections , allergic reactions, and
    asthma. It is a type of WBC and a type of
    Blood Coagulation- conversion of soluble
    basgranulocyte
    plasma protein fibrinogen to insoluble protein
    fibrin, a reaction catalysed by enzymes Monocyte- type of immune cell that travels
    thrombin. through the blood to tissues in the body where
    it becomes a macrophage. Macrophages
    1. Liver- Prothombin
    surround and kill microorganism and releasing
    2. Prothombin - Thrombin enzymes that kill microorganism. It is type of
    granulocyte, and a type of phagocyte. The bone
    3. Fibrogen- Fibrin marrow produces stem cells ( haematopoirtic
    cells) that are converted to platelets, WBc, and
    The Lymphatic System
    RBC.
    Functions:
    The bone marrow produces stem cells
    1. Production of lymphocytes (haematopoirtic cells) that are converted to
    platelets, WBc, and RBC.
    2. Stops foreign materials that comes in contact

    Animal body- 60%-70% water

    40-50% ICF

    20 % ECF

    Cerebrospinal Fluid

    Sinovial Fluid

    Lymph

    Plasma (5%)

    Hematopoietic cells- immature cells that can


    generate into all types of blood cells

    Eosinophil- type of immune cell that has


    granule
