soccer with his friends. Until the Science teacher told him a question‚ "So Diego‚ can you give me 1 part of the Circulatory System?" “Um" replied Diego stupidly. After some seconds went by‚ Diego replied to the teacher‚ "Give me a minute‚ will you." After minutes went by. The Science teacher got cranky and questioned Diego with a sterner voice. "DIEGO. Give me 1 part of the Circulatory System." "Um‚ the lungs‚" answered Diego. The teacher got crankier at Diego. Thinking Diego’s answers were lousy‚ so

Journey of a Red Blood Cell The Circulatory System is the main transportation for the body‚ made up of blood vessels‚ the blood and the heart. The blood is comprised of the red blood cells‚ white blood cells (lymphocytes and phagocytes which make up part of the immune system‚ engulfing invading pathogens)‚ platelets which help the blood to clot preventing infection all transported around the vessels amongst the plasma. The blood plasma contains dissolved substances including carbon dioxide‚ urea

The term shock is used to describe a clinical syndrome which is characterized by severe circulatory failure leading to impaired tissue perfusion‚ impaired cellular respiration and metabolism‚ consistent development of organ dysfunction‚ organ failure and death. The shock is always a life-threatening condition‚ which is why the diagnosis‚ evaluation and treatment of patients with circulatory shock should be implemented simultaneously. There are three degrees of shock: 1 Stage I (also called compensated

Circulatory system is an organ system where nutrients pass through. Cardiovascular and lymphatic systems make up the complete circulatory system. Arteries‚ veins‚ and the heart are the main organs in the circulatory system. Examples of nutrients that are passed through are electrolytes‚ amino acids and lymph. Also other substances passed through the specific organ system are gases‚ hormones and blood cells to and from cells. The reason the substances are passed through the circulatory system is to

The cardiovascular system is an organ system that distributes blood to all parts of the body. The cardiovascular system is a very important system in your body because it is the body delivery system for circulation of blood‚ which is made up of blood‚ blood vessels‚ and the heart. Cardiovascular can be compared to the muscular pump equipped with one-way valves‚ also a system of large and small plumbing tube where the blood travels through. The circulatory system is important because it transport

2.02 Circulatory: What are the functions of blood? Transportation: Carries oxygen to tissues‚ Carbon Dioxide from tissues‚ nutrients and waste products. Regulation: circulates excess heat to body surfaces and lungs. PH is regulated through buffers and amino acids that it carries. Protection: Circulates antibodies and defensive cells to combat infection and disease‚ also produces clots to prevent excessive loss of blood. Functions of blood components Plasma: Makes up about 55% of blood volume. Plasma

Disorders and Diseases Affecting the Lymphatic System The lymphatic system plays a key role in regulating the flow of fluids and proteins between the tissues and the general circulation. The lymphatic vessels collect fluid‚ white blood cells‚ proteins‚ and particulate matter that have leaked out of the capillaries into interstitial space. Lymph fluid then flows to the lymph nodes‚ which act as filters. The fluid is transported to the circulatory system routed through the lymphatic duct and thoracic
