  1. Circulatory System By: Kianna and Maddie

  2. Major Functions of the Circulatory System • Continually supply oxygen and nutrients throughout your body • Consists of three types of circulation • Coronary • Pulmanary • Systemic Circulation

  3. Components Of Your Blood • Blood consists with the following: • Red Blood Cells- Have no nuclei and contain hemoglobin which carries oxygen and carbon dioxide from your lungs to your body cells. • White blood cells- Fight bacteria, viruses, and other invaders of your body. Your body reacts to invaders by increasing the number of white blood cells. • Platelets- Irregularly shaped cell fragments that help clot blood. • Plasma- Liquid part of blood made mostly of water.

  4. The Path Your Blood Travels • Blood travels through your arteries and veins • Your red blood cells help carry your blood through your body. • Your heart pumps your blood through your body by using pressure. This is known as your blood pressure.

  5. How Your Circulatory System Works With Other Systems in Your Body • Red blood cells help carry oxygen to your lungs which connects to your respiratory system. • The Circulatory System helps carry white blood cells through your body which contributes to the Immune System. • Works with your Digestive System by moving wastes so they can be disposed by the body.

  6. Fun Facts About Your Circulatory System! • 8 million blood cells die in the human body every second, and the same number are born each second • The reason why red blood cells are red is because they contain a protein called hemoglobin which is bright red in color • The three types of circulation in your body do the following: • Corunary-the flow of blood to and from the tissue of the heart • Pulmanary-The flow of blood through the heart to the lungs and back • Systemic- oxygen rich blood moves to all of your organs and body tissues except the heart and lungs and oxygen poor blood returns to the heart. • Inside a tiny droplet of blood there are about 5 million red blood cells and up to 7,000 to 25,000 white blood cells.
