The System of Blood, Blood Vessels, Lymphatics, and Heart Concerned With The Circulation of The Blood and Lymph

The circulatory system, also called the cardiovascular system, is made up of the heart, blood vessels, and blood. It transports oxygen, nutrients, water, and hormones throughout the body while also removing carbon dioxide and wastes. The heart pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs and oxygenated blood to the rest of the body through arteries, veins, and capillaries in order to deliver oxygen and pick up carbon dioxide in a continuous cycle.

The system of blood, blood

vessels, lymphatics, and heart


concerned with the circulation of
the blood and lymph.
The Circulatory System is responsible for
transporting materials throughout the entire body.

It transports nutrients, water and oxygen to the


billion of cells in your body and carries away wastes
such as carbon dioxide.

It is an amazing highway that travels through your


entire body distributing materials to all your body
cells.
 Hold out on your hand and make a fist. If you’re a kid, your heart is about the
same size as your fist, and if you’re an adult, it’s about the same size as two
fist.

 Feel your pulse by placing two fingers at pulse points on your neck or wrist.
The pulse you feel is blood stopping and starting as it moves through your
arteries.

 As a kid, your resting pulse might range from 90 to 120 beats per minute. As
an adult, your pulse rate slows to an average of 72 beats per minutes.

 Your heart beats about 100,000 times in one day and about 35 million times
in a year. During the average lifetime, the human heart will beat more than
2.5 billion times.

 Lub-Dub, Lub-Dub, Lub-Dub, Sounds familiar? If you listen to your heart


beat, you’ll hear two sounds. These “Lub” and “Dub” sounds are made by
the heart valves as they open and close.
HEART
• The heart is a muscular pear
shaped organ, the size of the a
clenched fist.
• It is protected by the bony rib cage
and its rarely damaged by a blow.
• It is located in the chest a little to the
left of the center line.
• The heart’s function, like it’s
position, is central to life.
• Without a continuous supply of
blood (oxygen, sugar) the body
cannot function. To maintain this
supply, the heart has to work non-
stop.
The Atria is responsible for
Receiving use blood coming
From all parts of the body.

The Ventricles are the pumping


Chambers of the heart, When they
Contract, oxygen rich blood is forced
Away from the heart for the distribution
To the different body parts.
Pulmonic
Valve

Aortic Valve Mitral Valve

Tricuspid Valve
 The Blood transports water, oxygen,
nutrients salts, hormones, and other
substances that sustain life.

 It also removes waste products of


metabolism from the different parts of the
body and deposits them to the respective
organs of excretion to be disposed of from
the body.
RED BLOOD CELLS
also known as erythrocytes are small, spherical
enucleated, and biconcave cells

Transport gasses (oxygen and carbon dioxide


respectively to and from the cells.

Pick up oxygen in the lungs and transport it to all the


body cells.
WHITE BLOOD CELLS

or Leucocytes are irregular in shape and


are slighter larger than the red blood cells.

They play a vital role in the body’s immune


system.

They fight invading bacteria, viruses, fungi,


parasites the cause infection.
PLATELETS

Are the smallest of the


of the blood.

They help stop bleeding.

They are designed to begin the process of


coagulation of clot formation whenever a
tissue or blood vessel is broken.
PLASMA

Is a liquid part of the blood is.

It is a clear yellowish fluid that makes


Up the rest of the blood’s volume.

Plasma has 90% of water and10% dissolved


materials including proteins, glucose, ions,
hormones, salts and gasses.
VESSELS – Act as channels through which blood is
pumped
ARTERIES – Blood vessels which carry oxygen
rich blood away from the heart to the various
tissues in the body.
VEINS - carry oxygen-depleted blood
back to the heart
CAPILLARIES - have very thin walls and
allow the exchange of substances between
the body cells and the blood
Absorbing
oxygen in
the lungs
Pulmonary circulation – the flow
of blood between the heart and
lungs.

Systemic circulation – the flow


of blood between the heart and
the cells of the body.
"Oxygenated" blood is carrying oxygen from the
lungs by attaching it to hemoglobin in the
bloodstream.

"De-oxygenated" blood is returning to the lungs with


the hemoglobin depleted of oxygen (absorbed by the
cells). The blood will also be carrying the resulting
carbon dioxide back to the lungs for exhalation.
Aorta – carries the oxygenated blood, pumps into the
different parts of the body except for the lungs
ARTERIES – Blood vessels
which carry oxygen rich blood
away from the heart to the
various tissues in the body.

CAPILLARIES - have very


thin walls and allow the
exchange of substances
between the body cells and
the blood
After the capillaries “pick up” the
garbage from other cells, the
capillaries carry the wastes and
carbon dioxide through the
deoxygenated blood to the
smallest of the veins, which are
called venules. The venules
branch into bigger vessels
called veins. The veins then carry
the deoxygenated blood toward
the main vein, which is the vena
cava. The two branches of the
vena cava enter the right atrium,
which is where pulmonary
circulation begins.
The Pulmonary arteries carries the
Deoxygenated blood to the
Lungs for the
Oxygenation.
The Heart As Pump

The heart receives the deoxygenated blood on the


right side and pumps it to the lungs to be oxygenated

The Oxygenated blood returns from the lungs to the


left side of the heart, which pumps it to the rest of the
body.
