Study Notes

Diffusion

Diffusion is the movement of molecules or atoms from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.

Circulatory System

Humans have a well-developed transportation system called the circulatory system.
The circulatory system consists of blood, blood vessels, and the heart.
Blood is the fluid that flows within blood vessels.
An average human has 4 to 6 liters of blood.

Blood Components

Red Blood Cells (RBCs): Specialized blood cells that are red due to hemoglobin.
- Hemoglobin transports oxygen throughout the body.
White Blood Cells (WBCs): Specialized cells that protect the body from infection.
- Also known as the "soldiers of the body."
Platelets: Small fragments of bone marrow cells that help blood clot at injury sites.
Plasma: The straw-colored fluid part of blood that transports nutrients and metabolic waste.

Blood Vessels

Three types of blood vessels are present in the body's blood network: arteries, veins, and capillaries.
