1. Circulatory system
The things inside your body

2. The circulatory system consist on..
• The heart…

3. • Blood vessels..

4. • Blood…

5. The pulmonary circuit
• The pulmonary circuit carries
blood to the lungs to be
oxygenated and then back to the
heart. In the lungs, carbon
dioxide is removed from the
blood, and oxygen taken up by
the haemoglobin in the red blood
cells.

6. Systematic circuit
• The systemic circuit
carries blood around
the body to deliver the
oxygen and returns de-
oxygenated blood to
the heart. Blood also
carries nutrients and
waste.

7. The Heart!
• The heart is seen from the
front in the diagram. So the
right side of the heart is shown
on the left of the diagram. The
left side is on the right side of
the diagram.
• The heart is a muscular pump.

8. It also have chambers which are the..
• Right and left atrium that collects blood
• Right and left ventricle that pumps out blood

9. Heart
• Valves prevent the blood from
flowing backwards.
• The septum separates the two
sides of the heart.
• The right side of the heart
pumps de-oxygenated blood
(blood not containing oxygen)
to the lungs to pick up oxygen.
The left side of the heart
pumps the oxygenated blood
from the lungs around the rest
of the body

11. 3 TYPE OF BLOOD
CELLS
LATELETS
ED BLOOD CELLS

12. Platelets
elp the blood to clot. Clotting stops the
blood from flowing out of the body when
a vein or artery is broken

13. RED BLOOD CELL
ed blood cells are the most plentiful. In fact, a
healthy adult has about 35 trillion of them. The
body creates these cells at a rate of about 2.4
million a second, and they each have a life span
of about 120 days.

14. WHITE BLOOD CELL
hen the body is fighting off infection, it makes
them in ever-increasing numbers. Still,
compared to the number of red blood cells in
the body, the number of white blood cells is
low. Most healthy adults have about 700 times
as many red blood cells as white ones

16. Arteries
Heart pumps blood out through one
main artery called the dorsal aorta.
It divides and branches out into
many small arteries. It carries
oxygenated blood from the heart to
the rest of the body.

17. Capillaries
Capillary release their oxygen
which passes through the wall and
into the surrounding tissue. The
tissue releases its waste products,
like carbon dioxide, which passes
through the wall and into the red
blood cells.

18. Veins
Veins have three layers: an
outer layer of tissue, muscle
in the middle, and a smooth
inner layer of epithelial cells.
Veins transport waste-rich
blood back to the lungs and
heart. It is important that the
waste-rich blood keeps
moving in the proper direction
and not be allowed to flow
backward.
