Understanding the Circulatory System - Vital Blood Circulation and Gas Exchange Mechanisms

Explore the circulatory system's role in keeping your body functioning by circulating blood, removing waste, and enabling gas exchange. Learn about major organs like the heart, veins, arteries, and how they interact with the respiratory system for optimal oxygenation. Discover why blue blood lacks oxygen while red blood carries vital oxygen for cellular functions.

  1. Circulatory System Richard Bittorf Marcus Butler

  2. Functions • Circulate blood through the body. • Remove waste from the bloodstream. • Allows for gas exchange.

  3. Major Organs • Heart • Veins • capillaries  • Arteries • Venules • arterioles

  4. Other organs interact The respiratory system allows for gas exchange. Gas exchange is when oxygen is inserted into the blood stream and,carbon dioxide is extracted. Blue blood is has no oxygen,but red blood has oxygen.

  5. How it works. The heart circulates blood through our body. Oxygen is in our blood and the heart circulates oxygen to every part of our body. The lungs adds oxygen into our blood,and removes carbon dioxide from our body.

  6. Circulatory System • Allows gas exchange. • Circulates blood through our body. • Keeps our body functioning.
