    Circulatory System

    The circulatory system transports blood and nutrients throughout the body via the heart, blood, and blood vessels. Blood is composed of plasma and formed components like red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Blood vessels include arteries, which carry oxygenated blood away from the heart, and veins, which carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart via capillaries. The circulatory system also contains two types of circulation: pulmonary and systemic. The heart acts as the pumping organ to keep blood circulating at around 60-100 beats per minute through its four chambers.

    CIRCULATOR

    Y SYSTEM
    • The circulatory system is a transport
    system of the body.
    • It is responsible for the distribution of
    blood and other nutrients throughout
    the body.
    • It is made up of heart, blood and blood
    vessels namely veins, arteries and
    capillaries. These vessels carry
    oxygenated and deoxygenated blood in
    the body.
    BLOOD
    The blood is the liquid part that is constantly flowing
    throughout the body.
    It is composed of a liquid part called plasma and the
    solid parts of formed components which are the red
    blood cells known as the erythrocytes that transport
    gases to and from the cells.
    The white blood cells or leucocytes play a vital role
    in the body’s immune system. They fight bad
    bacteria, viruses and others that cause infection.
    The last formed components are the platelets or
    thrombocytes. They are the smallest of formed
    components of blood that help in blood clotting.
    BLOOD VESSELS
     The blood vessels are the vast networks of
    small tubes that carry blood throughout
    the body.
     The arteries are blood vessels that carry
    oxygen-rich blood away from the heart.
     Veins carry deoxygenated blood back to
    the heart.
     The capillaries are the smallest blood
    vessels which serve as a connection
    between arteries and veins. When blood
    BLOOD CIRCULATION
    The circulatory system has two
    types of circulation: the
     pulmonary circulation which is the
    movement of deoxygenated blood
    from the heart and into the lungs and
     systemic circulation which is the
    movement of oxygenated blood from
    the heart to the different parts of the
    body
    HEART
     The heart is known as the pumping organ of
    the body.
     It keeps the blood moving throughout the
    body and the average heartbeat of human is
    60 to 100 times per minute.
     It has four chambers: the left and right
    atrium which are responsible for receiving
    used blood coming from all parts of the
    body and the left and right ventricles
    known as the pumping chambers.
