A. FUNCTIONS:
• Provides communication between widely
separated body parts through transportation
of hormones, nutrients, wastes, respiratory
gases, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, water,
leucocytes, and antibodies.
• Contributes directly or indirectly to body
metabolic functions such as perfusion with
oxygen and nutrients by the tissue, water
balance, immunity, enzymatic reactions, and
pH, and temperature regulation.
B.PARTS:
Components:
a. Plasma
- Liquid part
- Composed of 90% water, ions, and proteins in
the form of albumins and globulins

1. Systematic circulation
– it is the blood flow
from the left ventricle
into the aorta, other
arteries, arterioles,
capillaries, venules and
veins to the right
atrium of the heart
C. CIRCULATION
- Blood flow through the circuit of vessels
2. Pulmonary circulation
– it is the blood flow
from the right ventricle
to the pulmonary artery
to lung arterioles,
capillaries and venules,
and veins, to left atrium
3. Hepatic-portal circulation – blood flow from the
capillaries, venules, and veins of stomach,
intestines, spleen,
pancreas, and gall
bladder into portal
veins, liver sinusoids
to hepatic veins,
to inferior vena
cava, to right
atrium of the
heart
