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

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
