CIRCULATORY

• FUNCTION: provide oxygen, nutrients and hormones

SYSTEM
to muscles, tissues and organs throughout your body &
remove waste from cells and organs so your body can
dispose of it
• ANATOMY: This system includes the heart, blood, and
blood vessels, namely the arteries, veins and capillaries.
CIRCULATORY
SYSTEM
• Heart - a muscular organ that pumps blood
throughout the body. It has four chambers: the right
and left atria, and the right and left ventricles. The
atria receive blood from the veins, while the
ventricles push blood out of the heart.
CIRCULATORY
SYSTEM
• Blood - a fluid that transports digested food from
the small intestine, oxygen from the lungs and
waste products for removal from the body.
• Arteries - thin, muscular tubes that carry
oxygenated blood away from the heart and to every
part of your body
CIRCULATORY
SYSTEM
• Veins - the vessels which carry carbon dioxide-rich
blood from all parts of the body back to the heart.
• Capillaries - extremely thin tubes that join up to
form veins which empty into the heart
PROCEDU
RE
• The right ventricle sends oxygen-poor blood to the
lungs. Blood travels through the pulmonary trunk.
• Blood cells pick up oxygen in the lungs by its
hemoglobin.
• Pulmonary veins carry the oxygenated blood from
the lungs to the heart’s left atrium.
PROCEDU
RE
• The left atrium sends the oxygenated blood into the
left ventricle. This muscular part of the heart pumps
blood out to the body through the arteries.
• As it moves through your body and organs, blood
collects and drops off nutrients, hormones and
waste products.
PROCEDU
RE
• The veins carry deoxygenated blood and carbon
dioxide back to the heart, which sends the blood to
the lungs.
• Your lungs get rid of the carbon dioxide when you
exhale.
PARTS OF URINARY
SYSTEM
• Kidney - this organ filters the blood and creates
urine
• Ureters - two thin tubes inside the pelvis carry pee
from the kidneys to the bladder.
• Bladder - this organ stores the urine.
• Urethra - this tube carries urine from the bladder
out of the body.
