JINKY: Transportation, also known as circulation, in human society refers to the

movement of people, goods, or information from one place to another. It involves the
physical transfer of entities between locations, enabling connectivity and accessibility.
Transportation can occur through different modes, including land, water, and air
transportation.

CJ: Complex roads, infrastructures, and machinery have been created to transport
something or someone from point A to point b. But did you know that there is an even
more complicated system of transportation, and it is inside our body, it is inside all living
beings, yes it is more complicated than the entangled wires in Manila transporting
electricity to our homes.

Transportation in human society can indeed be compared to the transportation system
within our bodies. Both systems involve the movement of resources from one location to
another, facilitating the overall functioning and well-being of the system.

CHARISSA: Circulation or transportation is the process by which substances, such as

nutrients, gases, hormones, and waste products, are moved throughout an organism's
body. This process ensures that essential materials are delivered to cells and that waste
products are removed from tissues. Circulation can occur at various levels, ranging from
single-celled organisms to complex multicellular organisms like humans. Now, let's
explore the circulation process in reptiles, birds, fish, and plants.

Reptiles
JINKY: Chameleons have a unique and fascinating circulatory system. Their heart acts
as a DJ, pumping blood to the rhythm and ensuring oxygen distribution. The
chameleon's arteriovenous shunts are like party tricks, allowing blood flow redirection to
different areas based on needs. Whether it's supplying active muscles or aiding in
digestion, their circulation system is like a coordinated dance routine. This system n¡ot
only supports their vibrant color-changing abilities but also showcases nature's
incredible adaptability and coordination.
Do you want to know more about their circulation system?
Chameleons have a heart that pumps blood throughout their bodies. Oxygen-depleted
blood is received by the atrium, and the ventricle pumps oxygenated blood out to the
body. Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart, while veins transport
deoxygenated blood back to the heart. Chameleons have lungs to extract oxygen from
the air, which oxygenates the blood and releases carbon dioxide. Capillaries connect
arteries and veins, allowing for the exchange of oxygen, nutrients, and waste products.
The liver, kidneys, and spleen are also involved in circulation, with the liver detoxifying
and metabolizing, the kidneys filtering waste, and the spleen aiding in immune response
and blood cell recycling.
It's important to note that while chameleons have a closed circulatory system, they also
have specialized adaptations for regulating blood flow to different body parts, such as
their ability to redirect blood flow to the skin for thermoregulation or color change
purposes.
The chameleon's circulation system is like a funky dance party, with a heart that pumps
beats and shifty shunts that redirect blood flow. It keeps their colors and muscles in
sync, creating a hidden groove beneath their scales. Keep the rhythm of life going with
the chameleon!

Birds
SHANE: From the vibrant world of chameleons, let's spread our wings and soar into the
avian realm, focusing on the fascinating shoebill bird.
Like all birds, shoebills have a closed circulatory system that efficiently transports
oxygen, nutrients, and waste products throughout their bodies. The key organs involved
in their circulation are the heart, blood vessels, and respiratory system.
The shoebill's circulatory system ensures the efficient transport of oxygen, nutrients,
and waste products throughout its body. The heart pumps oxygenated blood to the
organs and tissues through a network of blood vessels, while the respiratory system
extracts oxygen from the air and eliminates carbon dioxide. This well-coordinated
circulation allows the shoebill to thrive in its habitat and support its unique
characteristics as a magnificent avian species.
Farewell, shoebill bird, the fashionista of the avian world! With its fabulous beak and
soaring wings, its circulatory system keeps the beat alive. It's a stylish avian orchestra,
ensuring every feather gets its dose of oxygen and nutrients. Keep rocking your
fashionable flair, shoebill, as you take flight with the coolest circulation system in town!

Fish
CHARISSA: Now let's head to a whole new world
Imagine the blobfish as an underwater delivery service. Its heart acts as the
headquarters, sending oxygen-loaded blood cells through arteries like speedy
submarines to deliver goodies to every part of its body. Veins return the tired cells back
to the heart's cozy cottage. Gills are like oxygen factories, purifying water and giving the
blood cells an energy boost. Waste products are collected by the veins and released at
the gills. It's a cool circulation system that keeps the blobfish swimming smoothly in its
deep-sea habitat!
The blobfish, a deep-sea dweller, has unique adaptations for survival in cold, high-
pressure environments. Its circulatory system, including the heart, blood vessels, and
gills, transports oxygen, nutrients, and waste products. The two-chambered heart
pumps oxygenated blood to organs and tissues, while the gills extract oxygen from
water and release carbon dioxide.
Farewell, blobfish, the comedy star of the deep sea! Your circulation system is a
hilarious water park ride, with your heart pumping laughs and your gills purifying water
like a stand-up routine. Keep spreading laughter and squishy charm, blobfish, as you
swim through the depths with the funniest circulation system around!

CRIS: If you think blobfish is a funny clown then, Get ready for a botanical gossip
session like no other! Imagine Lantana camara, the charming chatterbox of the plant
world, with a transport system that's as juicy as the latest celebrity scandal.
Picture Lantana as the gossip queen, always in the know and ready to spread the word.
Its transport system is like a series of whispered conversations, delivering essential
nutrients and messages throughout its structure.
Think of xylem and phloem as Lantana's communication systems. The xylem acts as a
water carrier, delivering hydration and nutrients throughout the plant like a messenger.
Meanwhile, the phloem acts as a gossip hotline, transferring sugars and vital
substances from the leaves to other plant parts. It's like a network of chatty friends,
spreading news and ensuring everyone stays informed. Lantana even goes beyond its
own community, using chemical signals to communicate with neighboring plants, just
like a neighborhood gossip.
But wait, there's more! Lantana doesn't stop at spreading gossip within its own plant
community. It has a knack for engaging in cross-plant chitchat. Through chemical
signals released into the air, Lantana can communicate with neighboring plants,
warning them of potential threats or sharing resources. It's like Lantana is the
neighborhood gossip, keeping everyone informed and connected.
So, as we bid farewell to Lantana camara, the botanical gossiper with a transport
system as scandalous as the latest news, let's remember its unique charm. From the
xylem's water whispers to the phloem's gossip hotline, every aspect of Lantana's
transport system is a delightful tale of botanical communication.
