    The circulatory system transports blood throughout the body using a network of tubes called blood vessels. The heart acts as a pump to circulate blood in a one-way flow, and it is divided into four chambers - the left and right atria receive blood while the left and right ventricles pump it out. Blood vessels include arteries, which carry blood away from the heart and have thick muscular walls, veins which return blood to the heart and have thin walls, and capillaries which connect arteries and veins and allow for exchange of materials.

    CHAPTER 2 : BLOOD CIRCULATION AND TRANSPORT TRANSPORT SYSTEM IN HUMANS 1.

    The transport system in humans is called the circulatory system. 2. The circulatory system is a system of tubes that ensure one-way flow of blood with a pump and valves. 3. The circulation system consists of: (a) The heart [jantung] (b) Blood vessels [salur darah] (c) Blood [darah] HEART 1. The heart is in the thoracic cavity 2. The heart is divided into four chambers. (a) Left atrium (c) Right atrium (b) Left ventricle (d) Right ventricle 3. Function of the heart : (a) it collects oxygenated blood and pumps it. (b) it collects deoxygenated blood and pumps it into the lungs. 4. There are 3 types of vessels: (a) Arteries [arteri] (b) Vens [vena] (c) Capillaries [kapilari] 5. The table below compares an artery, a vein and a capillary. Aspects Artery Vein (a) Cross section (b) Lumen (c) Wall (d) Presence of valves (e) Direction of blood flow
