Presentation Transcript

  1. Circulatory System

  2. Circulatory System: • Organs and tissues that transport essential materials to body cells and remove waste products • Blood is moved through body by heart pumping • Picks up nutrients/drops off waste • Blood travels in 3 Vessles: • Arteries • Moves blood AWAY from heart • Veins • Takes blood TO heart • Capillaries • Tiny tubes that carry blood from the arteries to the body’s cells and then back to the veins

  3. ONCE AGAIN: 1. ARTERIES CARRY BLOOD: ??? 2. VEINS CARRY BLOOD:??? 3. CAPILLERIES ARE: ???? We have over 80,000 miles of blood vessels throughout our body!!!!!!

  4. 2 Pathways of the Circulatory System: • Pulmonary Circulation • -Flow of blood FROM heart TO lungs and back to heart • Lungs • -pulmonary arteries carry blood with CO2 away from heart • -pulmonary veins carry O2 blood to heart • 2. Systemic Circulation • - Flow of blood to ALL other body tissue • (except lungs)

  5. 4 Chambers of Heart Upper Chambers: Atriums Lower Chambers: Ventricles

  6. BLOOD • Mixture of solids within a liquid-Plasma • Plasma • 92% water • Transports blood solids, nutrients, hormones, and other materials • White Bloods Cells • Helps fight disease and infection by attacking germs that enter the body • Red Blood Cells • Carry oxygen to cells and carbon dioxide away from them • Platelets • Help blood form clot at site of wound • Seals a cut and prevents excessive blood loss

  7. BLOOD PRESSURE • -PRESSURE THAT IS EXERTED AS BLOOD MOVES THROUGH YOUR BODY AND AGAINST WALLS OF BLOOD VESSELS • Systolic Pressure • -When BP is at HIGHEST point • -As your heart contracts to push blood into arteries • Diastolic Pressure • - When BP is at its LOWEST point

  8. Blood Types Type A, B, AB, and O Type A blood has substance A B has substance B AB has both substance AB Type O has Neither (O- universal donor)

  9. PROBLEMS of the Circulatory System • Hypertension (blood pressure is higher than normal= heart attack, stoke, kidney failure) • Stroke (blood clots block vessels in brain or rupture of blood vessel) • Heart Attack (blockage of blood flow to heart) • Arteriosclerosis (arteries harden reducing amount of blood flow allowed through) • Anemia • Leukemia • Hemophilia

  10. How to take Care of Circulatory System • Limit fat in foods • Get regular physical activity • Avoid tobacco • Manage Stress
