THE HUMAN HEART HAS 4 CHAMBERS
Blood flows down through the:
 Casilla Vargas Carina
 Right atrium to the .
 Cruz Campos Ruth  Right ventricle then to
the Left atrium to
 Escobar Zapata Ruth the left ventrecle.
 Llallico Amaya Rosmeri
 Rojas Avilés Stefany VEINS :
 the veins are those

the heart, from the
organs
of the body.
 Here we find:
 SUPERIOR VENA CAVA:
 Receives blood from the
upper half of the body.
 -LOWER VENA CAVA:
Receives blood from the
organs below the diaphragm.
ARTERIES AND CAPILLARIES
 The arteries
 The arteries are the vessels
that carry blood from the
heart to the organs.
 Capillaries
 The capillaries carry blood to all
the cells of the organs of the body.
IMPORTANCE OF THE CIRCULATORY SYSTEM
 Serves to bring food and oxygen to cells.
 To collect metabolic waste.
 Intervenes in the body's defenses.
 Regulates body temperatura.

AMONG THE CARES FOR A GOOD
CIRCULATION ARE:
 Physical exercise.
 Healthy and varied diet.
 Go to the doctor periodically.
