Human Circulatory System:Human Circulatory System:
Also known as the Also known as the cardio-vascular systemcardio-vascular system
CardioCardio refers to the heart refers to the heartVascularVascular refers to the refers to the blood vesselsblood vessels
CirculationCirculation
The movement of blood from the The movement of blood from the heart to heart to the lungsthe lungs and back to the and back to the heart againheart again
Blood flows to the lungs to pick up Blood flows to the lungs to pick up oxygen oxygen and drop off and drop off carbon dioxidecarbon dioxide
Systemic CirculationSystemic CirculationThe movement of oxygen-rich blood The movement of oxygen-rich blood to all of the tissue located to all of the tissue located throughout your bodythroughout your body
The Human Circulatory The Human Circulatory System contains 3 parts:System contains 3 parts:

The The HeartHeart
Your heart is made up of Your heart is made up of cardiac musclecardiac muscle that never that never gets gets tiredtired
It beats It beats without stoppingwithout stopping for your entire life!!for your entire life!!
It pumps about It pumps about 1/3 cup1/3 cup of of blood with each beat, and blood with each beat, and about about 2,000 gallons2,000 gallons of of blood dailyblood daily
Function of the heart:Function of the heart:
The The purposepurpose of the of the heart is to heart is to deliverdeliver the Othe O22 blood blood to to every every cellcell in the in the bodybody
Heart Heart ValvesValves
There are There are 4 valves4 valves in in the heart that help to the heart that help to direct direct blood flowblood flow
Blood should only Blood should only move in move in one directionone direction to avoid mixing to avoid mixing between oxygen-poor between oxygen-poor blood and oxygen-rich blood and oxygen-rich bloodblood

Arteries Arteries – carry blood away from – carry blood away from heart heart
Veins Veins – carry blood to heart– carry blood to heart
