    The circulatory system consists of the heart, arteries, veins, and capillaries that work together to circulate blood throughout the body. The heart pumps oxygenated blood through the arteries, which branch into smaller arterioles and capillaries where gas and nutrient exchange occurs. The veins then collect deoxygenated blood and return it to the heart through progressively larger veins. Blood is composed of plasma and cells, including red blood cells that carry oxygen, white blood cells that fight infection, and platelets that help with clotting.

    Blood Vessels
    • Arteries
    – Elastic, muscular walls
    – Keep blood under pressure
    – Nerve signals can make arteries
    constrict or dilate
    • Veins
    – Thinner, less elastic, less muscle
    than arteries
    – Lower pressure than arteries
    – Valves and gravity aid flow back
    to the heart
    • Capillaries
    – One cell thick
    – Where transfer of gases and
    nutrients takes place
    Blood
    • Plasma (55% of whole blood)
    – Water with dissolved substances
    • Proteins, sugars, amino acids, salts,
    hormones
    – Variations in concentration
    • Metabolic imbalances
    • Kidney problems
    • Cells (45% of whole blood)
    – Erythrocytes (red blood cells)
    • Hemoglobin carries oxygen
    – Leukocytes (white blood cells)
    • fight infection
    – Platelets
    • Responsible of clot formation
    (coagulation)
