Transcript of Your circulatory system a system that carries your blood throughout your body.
Your circulatory system a system that carries your blood throughout
your body.
Your system is basically made up
of your veins,arteries, capillaries,
and your heart. Of course, your blood has
red/white blood cells platelets,
and plasma.
Your heart is one of the most important organ. As you know, your heart pumps your blood for you.
This is why it plays a important role in the circulatory system.
Your arteries are the biggest blood vessels.They carry blood with
oxygen away from your heart. They are
also the reddish lines a that you see
in drawings or diagrams.
Your capillaries are your smallest blood vessels. Only one
blood cell can fit in the opening at a time.
Your veins are the second largest blood vessel. They are the
blue lines in diagrams and drawings. It also
carries the blood back to your heart.
Red blood cells carry oxygen. They can
increase the surface for gas exchange. You can find a lot of them
in your blood.
Platelets are white cells that help stop
wounds that keep on bleeding.
Plasma is a white liquid that flows
around your body.
What Does This System Work With?
The Circulatory system works with
the Respiratory system because
when we breath in and out oxygen
and carbon dioxide, the red
blood cells transports these
around your body.
How Can You Help Protect This System?
You can help by not smoking first, because your red blood cells carry your oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Also, try to avoid anything that might damage
your heart.
