The circulatory system is responsible for transporting materials throughout the entire body. It transports nutrients, water, and oxygen to your billions of body cells and carries away wastes such as carbon dioxide that body cells produce.

โžฅ The heart is the organ at the center of the circulatory system. It pumps blood around the body.

โžฅ The septum acts as a wall. It prevents the mixing of the oxygen-rich blood and the oxygen-poor blood.

โžฅ The upper chamber (receives blood) is the atrium.

โžฅ The lower chamber (pumps blood out of the heart) is the ventricle.

โžฅ The atria collects blood that enters the heart.
โžฅ The ventricles pump blood out of the heart.

โžฅ The valves between the atria and ventricles are connected to the inner walls of the heart by tough tendons.

โžฅ Blood brings oxygen and nutrients to all the parts of the body so they can keep working.

โžฅ The heart can pump blood because it is made of muscle. Muscle tissue works by contracting (squeezing) and relaxing.

โžฅ Blood is composed of:

โ€ข Plasma - the fluid part of the blood and is composed of 90% of water.
โ€ข Red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets constitute the solid part of blood.

โžฅ Blood vessels are a network of pathways through which blood travels throughout the body. Arteries and veins are the two primary types of blood vessels in the circulatory system of the body.

โ€ข large vessels
โ€ข carry blood from heart to tissues of body.
โ€ข carry oxygen-rich blood, with exception of pulmonary arteries.
โ€ข thick walls-need to withstand pressure produced when heart pushes blood into them.

โ€ข when muscles contract, blood is forced through veins.

hi! i hope you enjoyed learning the circulatory system!! i had fun doing this carrd and i am happy to help other students! โ™ก

โžฅ take regular breaks
โžฅ watch youtube videos for further understanding
โžฅ make use of diagrams
โžฅ organize your study space

most importantly, always keep safe! โ™ก

note ห„ยทอˆเผยทอˆห„*โ‚Ž
you're doing really well! never doubt yourself โ™ก if you had a bad day today, you can always try again tomorrow !! mwa ^^
