The Bodys Transportation System

George Lee

The heart is pumping hard to get blood through the arteries and veins. The human circulatory system is always working. If the circulatory system does not work properly, your whole body is getting affected. There are three kinds of blood that has different functions. Red blood cells carry oxygen (O2) to cells and carries wastes (CO2) away from cells. White blood cells fight diseases and infections. Platelets help blood to clot. There are also two kinds of blood vessels. Arteries are red and carry red blood cells with O2. Veins are blue and they carry red blood cells with CO2. Even though the circulatory system works non-stop efficiently, sometimes things could go wrong and malfunction. There are various diseases occurringin the circulatory system. Hemophilia prevents the blood from clotting properly and you will loose a lot of blood. If you have sickle-cell anemia the red blood cells will be deformed and twisted so it cannot carry much O2. A person that has leukemia has too many white blood cells, so the bone marrows cannot make enough red blood cells. . Since this system is very important, you have to keep this system healthy. You need to exercise 75 hour a week. You also have to have low sodium and low fat diets. Never smoke because it can narrow blood vessels.

This system works with many other systems as it cannot work alone. It interacts with the excretory system by transporting blood to the kidneys for filtering. It also works with the digestive system because they store nutrients in blood. It interacts with the respiratory system because the blood gets air from the lungs and the lungs gets air from the blood. It also interacts with the skeletal system because red blood cell and white blood cells are made in bone marrows. The circulatory system preforms many vital functions, so it is imperative not to injure your self. Whenever you participate in sports, ensue that you stretch, warm up and use the right equipment. Daily exercise and a healthy diet can help maintain and prolong this system.
