Circulation Heart
Prepared by: Armin T. Mercado
Objectives
Explore the structure and function of the heart and blood vessels Explore the interaction of the circulatory system with other body systems
Introduction
The Circulatory System is the main cooling and transportation system for the human body The body has about 5 liters of blood continuously traveling through it by way of the Circulatory System In the Circulatory System, the heart, lungs, and blood vessels have to work together The Circulatory System has three different parts: pulmonary circulation (lungs), coronary circulation
Function:
To transport materials around the body Oxygen
Carbon dioxide
Digested food Hormones Waste chemicals - urea Heat
This organ is what pumps oxygen rich blood, nutrients, hormones, and the other things your body needs to maintain your health, to your organs and (Superior Vena Cava) tissues. From the Body The pulmonary veins you see on the right side of the diagram come from your lungs, where the blood cells collect oxygen. Its then pumped out to the rest of the body through the Aorta (Top).
The Heart
Pulmonary Artery (Aortic Artery) To the body
Pulmonary Veins
Valves: (tricuspid valve semilunar (pulmonary) valve, bicuspid (mitral) valve, and the semilunar (aortic) valve
All of the blue sections show blood cells carrying waste, (C02) moving back to the lungs (where the C02 will be replaced by oxygen) through the Pulmonary Artery (Top, blue)
By The Way
Whenever the blood is pumped from one section of the heart another a valve closes behind it preventing the blood from moving backwards.

A red blood cell then travels from the heart through arteries that eventually branch into the bodys vast system of capillaries (microscopic blood vessels which connect arteries and veins), they eventually lead to

TRANSACT
The oxygen the blood cells are carrying is given to the bodys tissue. And the CO2 (waste) from the tissue is given to the same blood cell to be exhaled.

Oxy-Poor Blood Cell
How It Works
Technically the Hemoglobin in the blood (a substance full of iron) attracts oxygen from the lungs. The red blood cell then carries it to the desired tissue. Because this tissue has a high CO2 count the hemoglobin lets go of its oxygen and collects the carbon dioxide. You see the hemoglobin has an affinity for whichever gas has a greater count. Because the tissue has a large amount of built up waste (CO2) the hemoglobin attracts it and then replaces it with oxygen, and vise versa in the lungs.
The oxygen rich blood cells then travel through the capillaries where yet another

Dont forget that the Hemoglobin in the blood cells let go of the cells oxygen because of the large CO2 (waste) count in the tissue.

Capillaries carry the blood to Venules that connect to veins and the Veins (wide blood vessels) carries the oxygen-poor blood back to the heart.
Double Circulation

Deoxygenated blood from the body is returned to the heart to be pumped to the lungs

Oxygenated blood from the lungs enters the heart and is pumped to the body organs and tissues

Conclusion
As you have learned (Hopefully) the Circulatory System is one of the most important systems in the human body It is the
only
reason youre still alive today
and you can attribute the cooling down, feeding of and protection of your body to it.
So the next time you bust open your leg skateboarding you can thank your Circulatory System for patching you up.
