Circulation system

By FEBRINA

 Is the human transport system Consist of heart, blood vessels and bloods which flow inside the blood vessels

The circulation system

 The cone shape Located in the thoracic cavity The wall is composed by cardiac muscle Divides into 4 chambers The wall of ventricle is

Structure and function of heart

The function of heart

Pumping blood to all part of the body

 The tricuspid valve is found between the right atrium and the right ventricle The bicuspid valve is found between the left atrium and the right ventricle The semilunar valves are located at the beginning of

3 types of valves inside the heart

The function of valves

Two sets of valves lie between the atria and ventricle allow blood to flow in the one direction, from the atria to the ventricle The semilunar valve allow blood to flow in the one direction, from the ventricle to

Blood vessels and their function

There are 3 types of blood vessels, that are the arteries, veins and capillaries. The human circulatory system is called a closed system because all of the blood vessels linked together and bloods flow inside the blood

function

Carries blood away from the heart to all parts of the body

Carries blood from all parts of the body to the heart

Connect arteries and veins Allow exchange of substances between blood and body cells by simple diffusion Involved the release of excess heat from the body

Path of blood flow

The human circulatory system is called a double circulatory system, because the blood in the body is pumped twice through the heart The human circulatory system can be divided into two parts The pulmonary circulation goes from heart to the lungs and back to the heart The systemic circulation goes from the heart to all part of the body except the lungs and back to the heart
