FACTS
• The Circulatory system moves food and oxygen around
to where you need it and it gets rid of waste.
• The average sized adult carries about 5L of blood.
• If you were to lay out all of your arteries, veins and
capillaries of one adult it would stretch about 60,000
miles.
• If you put your Circulatory system on a straight line it
would orbit around the Earth two and a half times.
• It delivers Hormones from there glands to their target
organs.
Important Roles in Humans
The Circulatory System is called the body’s delivery
system because it delivers nutrients and oxygen. The
oxygen and nutrients are used to fuel the tissues and
organs of the body.
Levels of Organization
Circulatory System
Heart (organ)
Cardiac Muscle Tissue (tissue)
Cardiac Myocyte (cell)
Levels of Organization
• In the Circulatory System I chose the organ, the heart.
Cardiac muscle tissue is found in the heart. The heart is
the only organ in the human body that cardiac muscle
tissue is found in. Cardiac Myocyte are the cells that
make up cardiac muscle tissue.
Major Organs in Our System
• The major organ
in our system is the
heart. Our system is
centered around the
heart and the heart
pumps blood around
a complex networks
of arteries and veins.
The heart pumps
blood to every part of
the body.
Professions that work
with the system
• Cardiovascular Anesthesiologist
They are doctors that give medicines and anesthetics used
during heart surgery. They study the effects of the
medicines to learn how to best protect the heart and organs
of which they are operating on. The cardiovascular
anesthesiologist stays in the operating room during the
surgery is taking place. He or she makes the decisions about
how to protect the organs and they monitors how the
patients wake up from anesthesia.
Professions that work
with the system
Cardiovascular Surgeon
The cardiovascular surgeon operates
on the heart and blood vessels. They
repair damage caused by heart
diseases or disorders. Cardiovascular
surgeons work in hospitals and they
preform many operations such as heart transplants, heart
valve repair and replacements and transmyocardial laser
revascularization.
How our System is
Connected to Two (2) Others
After blood returns to the
heart from around the body, the
blood travels to the lungs to replenish
with oxygen. From your lungs it
goes to the other side of your heart
and then to all parts of the body.
Therefore the circulatory system is
connected to the respiratory system.
How our System is
Connected to Two (2) Others
When exercising, your
heart beats faster so it can pump
more blood to your muscles to
function better. That helps you
move faster or jump higher.
Therefore, the circulatory system
is connected to the muscular
system.
Maintain a Healthy System
Maintain healthy systems is very important. To
maintain a healthy circulatory system you can get plenty of
exercise. You can also eat a healthy diet to maintain a
healthy weight. Also, you should see a doctor regularly for
annual checkups.
2 Common Diseases or
Disorders that Affect our System
High Cholesterol (arteriosclerosis)
Cholesterol floating in your blood stream begins to block
your arteries and veins so oxygen and nutrients can’t travel
smoothly. If not enough blood gets though, it could lead to a
heart attack or a stroke.
Usually there is no cure for high
cholesterol but to prevent it you
can have a healthy diet, exercise
and don’t smoke. If you have
arteriosclerosis you have to take
medication for life.
2 Common Diseases or Disorder
that Affect our System
Heart Failure
There are many causes for heart failure including
coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathy, congenital heart
disease, heart valve disease, abnormal heart rhythms. Heart
failure occurs when the heart doesn’t pump properly. There is no
cure for heart failure and you
have a shortage of breath and lack
of energy. There is treatment as
well as medication. Sometimes, you
can have surgery or a heart
transplant.
How Organs Work Together
The heart pumps blood through a series of blood
vessels throughout the body. The blood contains oxygen
that it picks up from the lungs and nutrients absorbed from
the digestive system. It carries the blood out to the tissues
throughout the body to be used for energy. Once the oxygen
is distributed and used up by the muscles,
the blood travels back to the heart and
lungs, to start to all over again. Along
the way, the blood goes through the liver
and kidneys to remove waste.
