How is it organized
3 main parts are the heart, the blood, and the blood vessels
heart pumps blood to your organs
there are 4 types of blood cells: red blood cells, white blood cells,
platelets, and plasmas
there are 3 main blood vessels: arteries, veins, and capillaries
Cells used:
red blood cells
white blood cells
platelets
tissues used:
epithelial tissue
muscle tissue
nervous tissue
connective tissue
oxygen enters the bloodstream through tiny membranes in the lungs that absorb
oxygen as it is inhaled.
pressure from the heart and valves throughout the body ensure that veins carry
blood to the heart and arteries carry blood away from the heart.
waste like carbon dioxide is removed in the process
three types of circulation that occur in the circulatory system. they are pulmonary,
systemic, and coronary.
Pulmonary Circulation is the part of the cycle where oxygen-depleted blood is
carried away from the heart, to the lungs, and back to the heart.
Systemic Circulation is when the oxygenated blood is carried away from the heart to
other organs and parts of the body.
Coronary Circulation provides the heart with oxygenated blood so it can function
properly.

the bloodstream,
there are white blood
cells and antibodies to
fight off disease
Diseases
Myocardial infarction
Mitral Valve Prolapse
Stenosis
Regurgitation
Atherosclerosis
Angina Pectoris
Arrhythmia/dysrhythmia
Ischemia
Mitral Valve Prolapse- Condition in which a heart valve connecting between the top half and bottom
half of the left side of the heart. Valve does not close properly.
Aortic Valve Regurgitation- Condition in which your blood valve wont close tightly enough and a
backflow of blood will occur (not efficient blood flow)
Angina Pectoris- Chest Pain or discomfort usually due to stress or activity (poor blood flow to the
blood vessels in the heart)
Ischemia
Ischemia [ih-skee-mee-uh]- Less blood flow to heart caused by blockades in your arteries.
