Circulatory System
BY: KIANNA AND MADDIE
Major Functions of the Circulatory System
• Continually supply oxygen and nutrients
throughout your body
• Consists of three types of circulation
1. Coronary
2. Pulmanary
3. Systemic Circulation
Components Of Your Blood
Blood consists with the following:
•Red Blood Cells- Have no nuclei and contain
hemoglobin which carries oxygen and carbon dioxide
from your lungs to your body cells.
•White blood cells- Fight bacteria, viruses, and other
invaders of your body. Your body reacts to invaders
by increasing the number of white blood cells.
•Platelets- Irregularly shaped cell fragments that help
clot blood.
•Plasma- Liquid part of blood made mostly of water.
The Path Your Blood Travels
•Blood travels through your arteries and
veins
•Your red blood cells help carry your blood
through your body.
•Your heart pumps your blood through your
body by using pressure. This is known as
your blood pressure.
How Your Circulatory System Works With Other
Systems in Your Body
•Red blood cells help carry oxygen to your
lungs which connects to your respiratory
system.
•The Circulatory System helps carry white
blood cells through your body which
contributes to the Immune System.
•Works with your Digestive System by moving
wastes so they can be disposed by the body.
Fun Facts About Your Circulatory System!
•8 million blood cells die in the human body every second, and the same
number are born each second
•The reason why red blood cells are red is because they contain a protein
called hemoglobin which is bright red in color
•The three types of circulation in your body do the following:
1. Corunary-the flow of blood to and from the tissue of the heart
2. Pulmanary-The flow of blood through the heart to the lungs and
back
3. Systemic- oxygen rich blood moves to all of your organs and body
tissues except the heart and lungs and oxygen poor blood returns to
the heart.
•
Inside a tiny droplet of blood there are about 5 million red blood
cells and up to 7,000 to 25,000 white blood cells.
