Created with Fabric.js 1.4.5 The Circulatory System The Circulatory System is responsible for giving nutrients and oxygen to all cells. It also gets rid of waste such as carbon dioxide produced by your body. Its major organs include the heart, blood vessels, and the blood. The Proccess The Heart It is located under the rib cage. It is shaped like an upside down pear. The heart has 2 upper and 2 lower chambers. The upper chambers the right and left atria receive incoming blood. The lower chambers the more muscular right and left ventricles pump blood out of the heart. The heart valves keep blood flowing in the right direction. Blood Vessels Arteries, capillaries and veins are all blood vessels. Arteries- take oxygenated blood (unless to the lungs) away from the heart. Healthy arteries are strong and elastic allowing blood to flow through. Capillaries- Have very thin walls which allow nutrients, oxygen and waste to pass through. Veins- Veins are blue and have thin walls and are like tubes they are sort of like spaghetti. They take deoxygenated blood back to the heart. BloodThere are two main parts-Red blood cells- these contain a substance called hemoglobin which carries oxygen in the blood. White blood cells-These have a job of killing off invading microbes. This is an arterie turning into a capillarie which then transforms into a vein.

This is because without the respiratory system the blood would not be able to have oxygen. Step 1:Deoxygenated is in the heart. The heart pumps this blood into the arteries which carry the blood. When it is near the lungs, The arterie turns into a capillarie which exchanges gases; carbon dioxide and oxygen. The vein now carries the oxygenated blood back to the heart. The carbon dioxide is in the lungs and we breathe it out. Step 2:Now the heart pumps the oxygenated blood to the rest of the cells. It travels through the arteries and they turn into a capillarie. Again, it exchanges gases. Step 3:Now the oxygen is in the cell and the blood is deoxygenated. The vein carries the blood back to the heart. Step 4:The blood is deoxygenated so the process repeats . Social Problems and Taking Care The HeartYour heart is located under your rib cage. It is shaped like an upside down pear. Your heart has 2 upper and 2 lower chambers. The upper chambers the right and left atria, receive incoming blood. The lower chambers the more muscular right and left ventricles, pump blood out of your heart. The heart valves, which keep the blood flowing in the right direction, are gates at the chamber openings.Blood VesselsArteries, Capillaries and Veins are all blood vessels. Arteries- carry oxygenated blood (unless to the lungs) away from the heartVeins- carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart. Veins are blue, they have thin walls and are like tubes they are sort of like spaghetti.Capillaries-do gas exchanges between the arteries and cells. Capillaries are very small. They are so small that you cannot see them without a microscope. In most cases, the walls of capillaries are only one or two cells thick, and they are so narrow that blood cells have to line up in single file to pass through them.BloodThere are 2 main parts:Red Cells-these contain a substance called hemoglobin which carries oxygen in the blood. White Cells- these have a job of killing off invading microbes. If you smoke, eat high fat foods,drink a lot of alcohol you will clog your arteries and you could get cancer and have a heart attack. Stay healthy by not smoking, not taking drugs, exercising and eating/drinking healthy.
