What keeps the blood moving!

1. Identify parts of the circulatory system.

2. Describe the function of the parts of the
circulatory system.
3. Explain ways to take care of the
circulatory system.
 Explain three ways how the circulatory
system is like an transportation system.
Trucks, Buses, and cars!
 This should be one paragraph!
 Cardiovascularsystem
 Pulmonary system
 Systemic system
 Arteries
 Veins
 Capillaries
 blood
 Cardiovascular system – organs and
tissues that transport essential materials
to body cells

 Pulmonary system – Flow of blood from

the heart to the lungs and back to the
heart.

 Systemic system – Flow of blood to the

body tissues except the lungs.
 Arteries– Vessels that carry blood away
from the heart to other parts of the body.

 Veins- Vessels that carry blood from the

body back to the heart.

 Capillaries
– Tiny tubes that carry blood
from the arteries to the cells, and back to
the veins.
 50% Water
 45% Red Blood cells
 4% Plasma with
Substances
 1% Leukocytes
(WBC) and Platelets
 Transporters of
 Oxygen
 Carbon Dioxide
 RBC
 Lack a nucleus
 Contain hemoglobin
 Disk-shaped
 RBC are produced in red bone
marrow of
 ribs,
 humerus,
 femur,
 sternum, and other long bones
 Lives for 120 days
 Old RBC are destroyed in liver and
spleen
 WBC fight infection
 Attack foreign substances
 Less abundant
 Large cells
 Some live for months
 Most just a few days
 Several types
 ALL contain nuclei
Break in Capillary Clumping of Platelets Clot Forms
Wall
Platelets clump at the Thrombin converts
Blood vessels injured. site and release fibrinogen into fibrin,
thromboplastin. which causes a clot.
Thromboplastin The clot prevents
converts prothrombin further loss of blood..
into thrombin..
 PLATELETS are for CLOTTING blood
 Cell fragments
 Produced in bone marrow
 Short life span (1 week)
 Fibrin (sticky network of protein fibers)
 Form a web trapping blood cells
 There are four blood
types. A, B , AB, and
O.
1. A+, A-
2. B+, B-
3. Ab+, Ab-
4. 0+, O-
~ All blood have Rh
~ The Rh determined the
blood type.

 STEP ONE
The cycle then repeats
itself.
 Hypertension – High blood
pressure.
 Stroke – blood clots that
block a vessel.
 Heart attack – blockage of
flow of blood to the heart.
 Arteriosclerosis – arteries
harden, reducing blood
flow.
 Anemia – Low level of
hemoglobin (protein that
binds to oxygen in RBC.)
 Leukemia disease with
extra WBC are made.
 Hemophilia – disease that
does not have blood
plasma substance to help
blood clot.
 Limit fat intake in your
foods – Example:
McDonalds.
 Physical Activity – 30
minutes or more a day
keeping your heart rate
above 150 bpm
 Avoid tobacco
 Manage stress
