1Circulatory System transport system of the body

2
- Responsible for the distribution of blood throughout the body where blood
3
transports nutrients, water, oxygen, to billions of body cells and carries away
4
wastes such as carbon dioxide and other wastes from the body cells and
5
tissues..
6
- It provides continuous supply of fresh blood and also carries disease-fighting
7
substances that help protect the body
8
9
Three distinct parts of the circulatory system:
10
1. Pulmonary circulation (the lungs)
11
2. Coronary circulation (the heart)
12
3. Systemic circulation (the rest of the system)
13
14 Major Parts of the Circulatory System:
15
16
1. Heart pumping organ of the circulatory system
17
- pumps blood throughout the body, supplying cells with oxygen and nutrients.
18
- located at the center of the chest, slightly tilted to the left, normally positioned
19
2/3 of its bulk to
20
the left of the breastbone.
21
Left side of the heart (stronger pump) receives oxygen-rich blood from the
22
lungs and sends it to
cells throughout the body.
23
Right side of the heart (weaker pump) moves the blood to the lungs and then
24
back to the left side of the heart.

26

Parts of the Heart or Heart Chambers

27
a. The right and left atrium or auricles (ATRIA) responsible for receiving used blood
28
coming from
29
all parts of the body. When the atria contracts , blood is pumped into
30
the ventricles.
31
b. The right and left ventricles are the pumping chambers of the heart, it sends fresh
32
blood to the tissues
33
When they contract, oxygen-rich blood is forced away from the heart
34
for distribution
35
to the different parts of the body.
36
37
Between the ATRIA and the VENTICLES are mitral valves and tricuspid valves
38they are the
39
overlapping layers of tissue that allow blood to flow in only one direction.
40
41
^ The right-hand side of the heart receives and then pumps used blood
42
through your lungs. Used
43
blood is rich in carbon-dioxide and poor in oxygen. When it reaches the
44
alveoli, the blood
45
releases carbon-dioxide and takes in oxygen.
46
47
^The left-hand side of the heart pumps fresh blood through the arteries. This
48
blood carries
49
oxygen from your lungs to all the cells of your body. Fresh blood is also
50
called oxygenated blood
51
52
Sinus Node a small patch of heart tissue located in the upper part of the right
53atrium or auricle. It is the
54
hearts pacemaker. It triggers the heartbeat and establishes its
55pace.

2. BLOOD liquid medium/vehicle that is constantly flowing throughout the body, referred
60
to as the RIVER OF LIFE. It transports water, oxygen, nutrients, salts,
61
hormones, & other substances that sustain life. It also removes waste
62
products of metabolism from the different body parts.
63
* About a gallon of blood young person
64
* Adult 5 liters of blood

Components of the Blood
69
70
Blood is composed of a liquid part called plasma (55%) of the blood by
71volume, and a solid part (45%).
72
which is composed of the red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets
73
74
75
1. Red Blood Cells (erythrocytes)
76
2. White Blood Cells (leococytes)
77
3. Platelets (thrombocytes)
78
4. Plasma
79
80
Reb Blood Cells small, spherical,enucleated and biconcave cells.
