It includes the heart, veins, capillaries, arteries, lymph vessels and lymph glands
Circulatory System
The circulatory system is responsible for
- Distributing blood throughout the body
- Removing waste
- Mounting immune response to infection
- Aiding in regulating body temperature
It provides organs, tissues and cells with oxygen, nutrient, gases, hormones, and antibodies and removes carbon dioxide and metabolic waste.
Blood
It is responsible for draining fluid from the body and is an important defense mechanism against infection.
Lymphatic System
It is a muscle and is divided into the left and right side, each side is made up of atrium and a ventricle.
Heart
It receives the blood either from the lungs or the rest of the body.
Atria
The blood then passes into the _________ before being pumped out of the heart again.
Ventricle
What are the five types of blood vessels exists within the body
Arteries
Arterioles
Veins
Venules
Capillaries
The blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart
Arteries
Small arterial branches that deliver blood to capillaries
Arterioles
Blood vessels that convey blood from tissues back to the heart
Veins
Small veins that collect blood from capillaries and delivers it to a vein.
Venules
They are the smallest blood vessels
Capillaries
Involved in the transfer of oxygen, nutrients, and gases to the cells of the body and the removal of carbon dioxide and metabolic waste.
Capillaries
They have very thin membranes so the components of blood can diffuse across the membrane and enter cells
Capillaries
This is where the interaction of molecules flowing in and out of blood happens
Capillary bed
What are the two main circulation systems of the body
Pulmonary system
Systemic system
It delivers blood to and from the lungs
Pulmonary system
Circulates blood throughout the rest of the body
Systemic system
What are the composition of blood
Red blood cells
White blood cells
Platelets
Plasma
The most numerous and contains a protein called hemoglobin
Red blood cells
It delivers oxygen to cells and aid in the removal of carbon dioxide
Red blood cells
It contains the mineral iron and is responsible for carry oxygen in the blood
Hemoglobin
What are the two types of white blood cells, which aid in combusting foreign bodies, bacteria, viruses, and other infective agents
Granulocytes
Agranulocyte (lymphoid cells)
