Circulatory System

Circulatory System
- Also called Cardiovascular system
Cardio heart
Vascular a channel or vessel through which
blood flows

Heart

 Heart Wall
a hollow muscular organ.
whole heart is enclosed in a sac called
pericardium.
Interior of the heart
has a left side and right side separated by a
thick, muscular wall called septum. Each side
has an upper chamber called atrium and a
lower chamber called ventricle. The atria
(plural of atrium) are smaller than the
ventricles, and their walls are thinner. Their
job is to hold the blood before it goes down
the ventricles. The ventricles are bigger and
have thicker muscular walls. Their job is to
pump blood. The right ventricle pumps blood
to the lungs while the left ventricle pumps
blood on all parts of the body.

Blood Vessels
A vessel in the human or animal body in
which blood circulates

Arteries
Are blood vessels that carry blood
away from the heart. Arteries vary
in size. The larger artery, aorta,
arises from the left part of the
heart.
capillaries
Are tiny blood vessels that form a
network throughout the bodys organs
and tissues.
Veins
Blood vessels that carry blood toward
the heart

it controls body temperature by moving to or

Composition of blood
Blood consist of a liquid part and cellular part. The
liquid part makes up about 55 percent of the
volume of blood in the body while the cellular part
makes up the remaining 45 percent.

percent.

types
Group A has only the A antigen on red cells (and
B antibody in the plasma)
Group B has only the B antigen on red cells (and
A antibody in the plasma)
GroupAB has both A and B antigens on red cells
(but neither A nor B antibody in the plasma)
Group O has neither A nor B antigens on red cells
(but both A and B antibody are in the plasma)
