CIRCULATORY

system
• The system that is responsible in
transporting materials throughout the
body.
• It also heals and fights infections and
at the same time remove waste
material such as carbon dioxide from
the body tissues.
AIN PARTS OF CIRCULATORY SYS

1. Blood
2. Blood Vessels
3. Heart
1. BLOOD
is the medium
for transport
which is pumped
by an organ
called heart.
3 MAIN PARTS OF THE BLOOD

1. Plasma
2. Red Blood Cells
3. White Blood Cells
4. Platelets
A. Plasma
• is a light-yellow
liquid component
that makes up about
half of the content of
blood.
• it carries water, salts
and enzymes.
B. Red blood cells
(Erythrocytes)
contain
haemoglobin it
circulate through
the body delivering
oxygen to the
cells.
C. White blood cells
(Leukocytes)

are involved in the

immune response that
identify and target
invading bacteria,
viruses and other
foreign organisms,
they also recycle waste
components such as old
red blood cells.
D. Platelets
(Thrombocytes)
are tiny blood cells
that help your body
form clots to stop
bleeding.
2. BLOOD VESSELS
serve as the
network that
channels blood
throughout the
body.
A. Artery
carries oxygenated
blood away from
the heart to all
other tissues and
organs.
B. Vein
are blood vessels
that carry blood
towards the heart.
C. Capilaries
• form connections between
the arterioles and the
venules.
• is the exchange of materials
such as gases and nutrients,
and collect waste products
of metabolism between
blood and tissues.
 3. HEART

It is situated at
the middle of the
chest cavity,
slightly to the left
of the center.
