In humans, the combined
function of the heart, blood,
and blood vessels to
transport oxygen and
nutrients to organs and
tissues throughout the body
and carry away waste
products.
£. the circulatory system
increases the flow of
blood to meet increased
energy demands during
exercise and regulates
body temperature.

Œ| 
º. When foreign substances
or organisms invade the
body, the circulatory
system swiftly conveys
disease-fighting elements
of the immune system,
such as white blood cells
and antibodies, to regions
under attack.
ÿ. Also, in the case of
injury or bleeding, the
circulatory system sends
clotting cells and proteins
to the affected site, which
quickly stop bleeding and
promote healing.

Deart,in anatomy, hollow
muscular organ that pumps
blood through the body.

Theheart is the circulatory

system¶s power supply.

  


It must beat ceaselessly
because the body¶s
tissues²especially the
brain and the heart itself²
depend on a constant
supply of oxygen and
nutrients delivered by the
flowing blood.

The heart pumps 5 quarts of
blood every minute.

The heart beats£ , per

day, that¶s ÿ5, , million
beats in a year.

It contracts and relaxes.

Contraction is called Systole
and relaxing is called
Diastole.

Blood, vital fluid found in
humans and other animals
that provides important
nourishment to all body
organs and tissues and
carries away waste
materials.
 

Sometimes referred to as
³the river of life,´ blood is
pumped from the heart
through a network of
blood vessels collectively
known as the circulatory
system.

 

An adult human has about 5
to 6 liters (£ to º gal) of
blood, which is roughly 7 to 8
percent of total body weight.
Infants and children have
comparably lower volumes of
blood, roughly proportionate
to their smaller size.

is usually yellow in color due to
proteins dissolved in it.

Blood Type - is determined by

the occurrence or absence of
substances, known as recognition
markers or antigens, on the
surface of the red blood cell.
 Red Blood
Cells
Erythrocytes

make up almost ]5 percent of the

blood volume. Their primary function
is to carry oxygen from the lungs to
every cell in the body. it composed
of a protein and iron compound,
called hemoglobin, that captures
oxygen molecules as the blood
moves through the lungs, blood its
red color.
 White Blood
Cells
Leucocytes

only make up about £ percent of

blood, but their small number belies
their immense importance.

They play a vital role in the body¶s

immune system²the primary
defense mechanism against invading
bacteria, viruses, fungi, and
parasites.
 Platelets and
Clotting

The smallest cells in the blood are

the platelets, which are designed
for a single purpose²to begin the
process of coagulation, or
forming a clot, whenever a blood
vessel is broken.

Arteries carry oxygen-rich blood
from the heart, branching to
smaller and smaller units ending
at the capillaries, which transfer
oxygen and other blood
components to and from the
tissues. Oxygen-poor blood
continues through the capillaries
to veins, which converge to carry
blood back to the heart, lungs,
and liver.
