HUMAN BODY

THE CIRCULATORY SYSTEM

 ORGAN SYSTEM
• OUR BODY IS MADE UP OF LARGE NO. OF CELLS
Cell

• MANY CELLS TOGETHER MAKE A TISSUE

Tissue

• MANY TISSUE TOGETHER MAKE UP AN ORGAN LIKE STOMACH, HEART

A GROUP OF ORGANS THAT WORK TOGETHER TO PERFORM A

PARTICULAR FUNCTION CONSTITUES AN ORGAN SYSTEM
 CIRCULATORY SYSTEM

THE ORGAN SYSTEM THAT CIRCULATES

BLOOD AND TRANSPORT NUTRIENTS, WATER AND OXYGEN
IN OUR BODY
AND ALSO REMOVES WASTES SUCH AS CARBON DIOXIDE
PARTS OF CIRCULATORY SYSTEM

1. HEART

2. BLOOD - RBC, WBC AND PLATELETS

3. BLOOD VESSELS – ARTERIES , VEINS AND CAPILLARIES

 HEART
THE MAIN FUNCTION OF
HEART IS TO PUMP
OXYGEN AND NUTRIENTS
RICH BLOOD TO THE
WHOLE BODY

IT ALSO RECEIVE BLOOD

CONTAINING CARBON
DIOXIDE FROM ALL THE
PARTS OF BODY AND
PUMPS IT TO LUNGS

THE RATE AT WHICH HEART

BEATS IS CALLED PULSE
PULSE RATE : 60-100 beats
per minutes
 BLOOD
BLOOD FLOWS IN THIN PIPES CALLED BLOOD VESSELS

IT MADE UP OF 3 KINDS OF CELL IN A WATERY LIQUID CALLED PLASMA

WHY BLOOD IS RED?

OUR BLOOD CONTAINS A PROTIEN CALLED HAEMOGLOBIN. THE

HAEMOGLOBIN COMBINES WITH OXYGEN AND BECOMES RED IN COLOR
 FUNCTIONS OF BLOOD
TRANSPORT OXYGEN ABSORBD BY LUNGS TO ALL THE PARTS OF BODY

TRANSPORT CO2 FROM ALL THE PARTS OF BODY TO LUNGS

TRANSPORTS NUTRIENTS ABSORBED IN INTESTINES TO ALL THE PARTS OF BODY

CARRIES WASTE PRODUCTS TO KIDNEYS

MAINTAIN TEMPERATURE OF OUR BODY

WHITE BLOOD CELLS HAVE ANTIBODIES WHICH DEFENDS US FROM INFECTION

AND FOREIGN BODIES

PLATELETS HELP THE BLOOD TO CLOT WHEN WE ARE BLEEDING

 BLOOD VESSELS
THIN TUBE LIKE STRUCTURE WHICH CARRY BLOOD IN BODY

ARTERIES: RED COLOURED BLOOD VESSELS THAT CARRIES OXYGEN RICH BLOOD
FROM HEARTS TO VARIOUS ORGANS

LARGEST ARTERIES : AORTA

VEINS: BLUE COLOURED BLOOD VESSELS THAT CARRIES CO2 RICH BLOOD FROM
VARIOUS ORGANS TO HEART

LARGEST VEINS : VENA CAVA

CAPILLARIES: * THINNEST BLOOD VESSELS THAT CONNECTS ARTERIES TO VEINS

* IT REACHES INSIDE THE TISSUES.
* EXHANGE OF GASES, NUTRIENTS AND WASTES BETWEEN BOOLD
AND TISSUES TAKE PALCE HERE
 CIRCULATION OF BLOOD
• LUNGS TAKES IN OXYGEN - > HEART PUMP OXYGENATED BLOOD TO ALL THE
PARTS OF THE BODY THROUGH ARTERIES

• THE BLOOD REACHES THE VARIOUS TISSUES IN THE ORGANS AND GIVES OUT
OXYGEN AND TAKE IN CARBAN DIOXIDE

• OUR HEART COLLECT THE DEOXYGENATED BOLOOD FROM VARIOUS PARTS IF

BODY THROUGH VEINS AND SEND IT TO THE LUNGS

• LUNGS GIVES OUT CARBON DIOXIDE AND TAKES IN OXYGEN
