    Circulatory System

    The body system composed of the heart and blood vessels that circulates blood.

    Heart

    The muscular organ that pumps blood throughout the circulatory system.

    Arteries

    Blood vessels that carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body.

    Veins

    Blood vessels that carry deoxygenated blood towards the heart from the body.

    Study Notes

    Circulatory System

    • The circulatory system is responsible for distributing blood throughout the body.
    • Blood carries oxygen and nutrients to cells and removes waste products.
    • It consists of the heart, blood vessels (arteries, veins, capillaries), and blood.
    • The heart pumps blood throughout the body.
    • Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body tissues.
    • Veins carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart.
    • Capillaries connect arteries and veins, facilitating exchange of materials between blood and tissues.
    • Blood is comprised of plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
    • Red blood cells carry oxygen.
    • White blood cells fight infection.
    • Platelets help with blood clotting.

    Components of the Circulatory System

    • Heart: The heart is a muscular pump that propels blood throughout the body.
    • Blood vessels: Blood vessels form a network that transports blood from the heart to the body's tissues and back to the heart.
    • Arteries: These are blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart to the body's tissues.
    • Veins: These are blood vessels that carry oxygen-poor blood back to the heart.
    • Capillaries: These are tiny blood vessels that connect arteries and veins, allowing for the exchange of oxygen and nutrients between the blood and the body's tissues.

    Diagram Analysis

    • The diagram shows the circulatory system with the heart, major blood vessels, and directions of blood flow.
    • Blood vessels and their function (oxygen-rich/poor, direction of blood flow) are clearly labeled.
    • The diagram illustrates the heart's role in pumping blood throughout the body.
    • The diagram shows the different pathways of blood during the circulation.
