THE CIRCULATORY
SYSTEM
<3
INTRODUCTION
The circulatory system is
responsible for transporting
materials throughout the entire
body.
It transport nutrients, water, and
oxygen to your billions of body
cells and carries away wastes such
as carbon dioxide that body cells
produce.
It is an amazing highway that
travels through your entire body
connecting all your body cells.

HEART
The heart is a fist-sized organ that
pumps blood throughout your body.
It's the primary organ of your
circulatory system.
COMPONENTS
BLOOD
A tissue with red blood cells, white
blood cells, platelets, and other
substances suspended in fluid called
plasma. Blood takes oxygen and
nutrients to the tissues, and carries
away wastes.
BLOOD VESSELS
A tube through which the blood
circulates in the body.
There are three kinds of blood
vessels: arteries, veins, and
capillaries.

AND FROM THE BODY'S CELLS BY THE

HOW THE BLOOD FLOWS IN THE FOUR
CHAMBERS OF THE HEART?
Blood enters the right atrium and passes through
the right ventricle. The right ventricle pumps the
blood to the lungs where it becomes oxygenated.
The oxygenated blood is brought back to the heart
by the pulmonary veins which enter the left atrium.
From the left atrium blood flows into the left
ventricle.
THE DISORDER/DISEASE
OF THE HEART
CORONARY ARTERY
DISEASE
is caused by plaque buildup in the
walls of the arteries that supply
blood to the heart (called
coronary arteries) and other parts
of the body.
Plaque is made up of deposits of
cholesterol and other substances
in the artery. Plaque buildup
causes the inside of the arteries to
narrow over time, which can
partially or totally block the
blood flow. This process is called
atherosclerosis.
HYPERTENSION
High blood pressure, also called
hypertension, is blood pressure
that is higher than normal. Your
blood pressure changes
throughout the day based on
your activities. Having blood
pressure measures consistently
above normal may result in a
diagnosis of high blood pressure
(or hypertension).
STROKE
sometimes called a brain attack,
occurs when something blocks
blood supply to part of the brain
or when a blood vessel in the
brain bursts. In either case, parts
of the brain become damaged or
die. A stroke can cause lasting
brain damage, long-term
disability, or even death.
