Circulatory System Parts

The system that moves blood throughout the body, including the heart, blood, and blood vessels.

Blood Pathway (Veins/Arteries)

Blood travels through veins and arteries, two types of blood vessels, throughout the body.

Right Heart Blood

The right side of the heart receives blood that has less oxygen.

Blood Vessels Types

Blood travels through three main types of blood vessels: capillaries, arteries, and veins.

Study Notes

Circulatory System

  • The circulatory system consists of the heart, blood, and blood vessels.
  • Blood vessels are veins and arteries.
  • The right side of the heart carries blood without oxygen.
  • Blood vessels include capillaries, arteries, and veins.
  • The heart pumps blood throughout the body; blood carries oxygen and nutrients.

Heartbeat and Pulse

  • Heartbeat is the squeezing of the heart muscle as it pumps blood.
  • Pulse is the pressure caused by the blood pumped by the heart, which can be felt in the wrist or neck.
  • Pulse rate is the number of heartbeats per minute.
  • Pulse rate is affected by factors such as age, time of day, and activity.

Respiration

  • The respiratory system is a network of organs and tissues.
  • It includes airways, lungs, and blood vessels.
  • The muscles that power the lungs are also part of the respiratory system.
  • The respiratory system moves oxygen through the body and removes carbon dioxide.

Breathing

  • Breathing includes breathing in and out.
  • Air enters the body through the nose or mouth then enters the windpipe, travels to the lungs where gas exchange occurs.
  • The ribs move up and out, increasing the size of the chest, allowing air to enter the lungs.
  • The diaphragm muscle contracts downward, aiding air into the lungs.
  • During exhalation, the diaphragm relaxes, and chest size decreases. The air is pushed from the lungs through the windpipe, nose, or mouth.

Puberty

  • Puberty is the stage of life changes when a person becomes able to reproduce.
  • Boys usually start puberty around 13 years of age, and girls around 11 years of age.
  • During puberty hormone levels change, and the body begins to develop traits of adults.
  • Physical changes such as body growth, body hair, voice changes happen.

Reproductive System

  • The reproductive system is responsible for creating offspring.
  • The male reproductive system consists of the testes (which produce sperm), the sperm duct and the penis, which transports sperm into the female body.
  • The female reproductive system includes the ovaries (which produce eggs), the oviducts, the uterus and the birth canal.
  • Fertilization normally occurs in the oviduct when the sperm and egg meet.
