Transcript The Circulatory System - Bingham-5th-2012

The main part is the Heart which pumps
blood through arteries. The capillaries
pass blood from the artery to the vein.
The major organs are the Heart, Lungs,
Arteries, Veins, Platelets and Capillaries.

It transports gases like oxygen from the
lungs to the cells, transports nutrients,
transports waste from cells to organs. It
contains cells that fight against
infections. It maintains the Ph level. Helps
maintain body temperature.
Digested food is converted into form for
utilization by various body tissue.
The blood will not get pumped by the
heart. If cells do not get blood they die.
The diseases of the circulatory system are
Acute Coronary Syndrome, Endocarditis,
and Conceptual Apraxia. The Acute
Coronary Syndrome is an unstable
angina (Chest Pains) non elevation and
elevation myocardial infarction (Heart
Attack). The Endocarditis is an disease
that inflames the inner layer of the heart.
It can be infective and non infective.
The Conceptual Apraxia is the brain
possesses ability to organize work that
needs different motor skills. The ability to
organize tasks is mostly lost. The
treatment for Acute Coronary Syndrome
is Nitroglycerin and aspirin medicine to
treat this disease. The treatment for
Endocarditis is replacing the heart valve
and the treatment of antibiotics. The
treatment for Conceptual Apraxia is
unknown of any medical help.
What you can do is eat healthy foods (eat
vegetables, fruits, and all kinds of meat),
and exercise. It is really not that hard at
all!
A fun fact about the heart is it beats about
3 billion times in an average persons life
(Wow that’s a lot!). A red blood cell
takes about 20 seconds to circle a
persons whole body. In a drop of blood
there is about 5 million red blood cells.
Blood that is full of oxygen turns out to be
the color red. Red blood cells could live
for 4 months feeding other body cells.

Why is it important that oxygen gets to the blood and cells?
It is important because if the blood cells don’t get oxygen
they will die. Oxygen is vital for the body.
What is the function of the blood vessels and the capillaries?
The Capillaries exchange water and other chemicals
between the blood and body tissues.
Why does blood turn dark red as it circulates through the
body?
It turns dark red because it gets less oxygen as it goes through
the body to the heart to get more oxygen.
