    Circulatory System

    The circulatory system includes the heart, arteries, veins, and capillaries and functions to transport blood throughout the body.

    Heart

    The heart is the central organ of the circulatory system, it pumps blood to all parts of the body.

    Arteries

    Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body.

    Veins

    Veins bring oxygenated blood back to the heart.

    Study Notes

    Level of Organization

    • Models help understand internal body parts and their functions.
    • Humans have many organ systems, including circulatory, respiratory, digestive, and excretory systems.
    • The heart, central to the circulatory system, acts as a pump.
    • Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart.
    • Veins return deoxygenated blood to the heart.
    • Capillaries facilitate gas and nutrient exchange at the cellular level.
    • The heart pumps blood, delivering nutrients and oxygen.
    • The kidneys filter blood, removing waste and excess water.
    • The stomach breaks down food.
    • The brain controls organ functions.
    • The lungs facilitate breathing, exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide.
