HUMAN CIRCULATORY SYSTEM

Introduction :-

 The human body is a complex machine, requiring many processes to


function efficiently. To keep these crucial processes running without
any hitches, vital elements and components need to be delivered to
the various part of the body.
 This role of transportation is undertaken by circulatory system,
moving essential nutrients and mineral throughout the body and
metabolic waste products away from the body.

Human Heart
The heart is a muscular organ
located in the chest cavity,
right between the lungs. It is
positioned slightly towards the
left in the thoracic region and is
enveloped by the pericardium.
The human heart is separated
into four chambers; namely,
two upper chambers called
atria (Singular: atrium), and
two lower chambers called
ventricles.
Double
Circulation
The way blood flows in the
human body is unique, and it is
quite efficient too. The blood
circulates though the heart
twice; hence, it is called double
circulation.
Other animals like fish have
single circulation, where blood
completes circuit through the
entire animals on once.
The main advantage of double
circulation is that every tissue in
the body has a steady supply of
oxygenated blood, and it does
not get mixed with the
deoxygenated blood.

 Blood is the body’s fluid connective tissue, and it forms a vital part of
the human circulatory system. Its main function is to circulate
nutrients, hormones, minerals and the other essential components to
different parts of the body. Body flows through a specified set of
pathways called vessels. the organ which is involved in pumping
blood to different body parts is the heart. Blood cells, blood, plasma,
proteins, and other minerals components (such as sodium, potassium
and calcium) constitute human blood.
Blood is composed of:
i. Plasma- the fluid part of the blood and is composed of 90% of water.
ii. Red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets constitute the solid
part of the blood.
Types of Blood
Cells
The Human Body consists of 3 types of
blood cells, namely:
Red Blood Cells (RBC)/Erythrocytes
Red blood cells are mainly involved in
transporting oxygen, nutrients, and
other substances to various parts of the
body. These blood cells are also remove
waste from the body.
White Blood Cells (WBC)/Leukocytes
White blood cells are specialized cells,
which function as a body’s defence
system. They provide immunity by
fending off pathogens and harmful
microorganisms.
Platelets/Thrombocytes
Platelets are cells that help to form clots
and stop bleeding. They act on the site
of an injury or a wound.
Lymphatic System
The human circulatory system
consists of another body fluid called
lymph. It is also known as tissue
fluid. It is produced by the lymphatic
system which comprises a network
of interconnected organs, nodes and
ducts.
Lymph is a colorless fluid considering
of salts, proteins, water, which
transport and circulates digested
food and absorbed fat to intercellular
spaces in the tissues. Unlike the
circulatory system lymph is not
pumped; instead, it passively flows
through a network vessels.
Function of Circulatory
System
The most important function of the circulatory system is transporting
oxygen throughout the body. The other vital functions of the human
circulatory system are as follows :-
1. It helps in sustaining all the organ systems.
2. It transports blood, nutrients, oxygen, carbon dioxide and harmones
throughout the body.
3. It protects the cells from the pathogens.
4. It acts as an interface for cell-to-cell interaction.
5. The substances present in the blood helps repair the damaged
tissue.
