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
Capillary VeinArtery ArterioleVenule
Blood Vessels Arteries: carry O 2 - & nutrient-rich blood away from the heart to body (arterials-small arteries) Veins: carry CO 2 - & 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
Capillary VeinArtery Connective Tissue Smooth Muscle 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) Blood Composition
Section 37-2 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 Lymphatic System
