System Circuit
Pulmonary Circuit
Circulatory System• Pulmonary
Circulation–Carries blood between
the heart and the lungs only
• Systemic Circulation–Carries blood between
the heart and the rest of the body, except for the lungs
CapillaryVeinArtery
Arteriole Venule
Blood Vessels• Arteries: carry O2- & nutrient-rich
blood away from the heart to body (arterials-small arteries)
• Veins: carry CO2- & waste rich blood back from body towards the heart (venules-small veins)
• Capillaries: where nutrients, gases, & wastes are exchanged with the body; located b/w arteries & veins

Connective Tissue

Epithelium
Valve
• Transports raw materials (from digestion) to the cells
• Removes waste from cells–Brings wastes to kidneys, lungs, & skin
• Maintains a fluid environment for the cells
• Protects the body from disease• Keeps body pH stable• Prevents further blood loss
Blood’s Role
Blood Composition
• Erythrocytes: RBC’s; carry Oxygen/Carbon Dioxide using hemoglobin (~45% of blood) (circulate up to 120 days)
• Leucocytes: WBC’s; body defense (<1% of blood) (circulate under 1 day)
• Platelets: involved in clotting (<1% of blood) (circulate 3-8 days)
• Plasma: liquid where gases/nutrients are dissolved (~55% of blood)

RBC’s
WBC’s
Platelets
Plasma
• All of our cells are bathed by fluids that diffuse out of the capillaries
• This system collects these fluids and proteins and returns them to the blood
• Lymph nodes return fluids & proteins to the blood, plus have WBC’s to help protect the body from disease or cancer-causing cells
