The Circulatory The Circulatory SystemSystem
Circulatory system is made up Circulatory system is made up of blood, the heart, and blood of blood, the heart, and blood
vessels.vessels.
Your Blood: Fluid TransportYour Blood: Fluid Transport Your blood is a tissue composed of fluid, Your blood is a tissue composed of fluid,
cells, and fragments of cells.cells, and fragments of cells.
The fluid portion of blood is called The fluid portion of blood is called plasmaplasma..
Components Characteristics
Red blood cellsTransport oxygen and some carbon dioxide; lack a nucleus; contain hemoglobin
White blood cells
Platelets
Plasma
Large; several different types; all contain nuclei; defend the body against disease
Cell fragments needed for blood clotting
Liquid; contains proteins; transports red and white blood cells, platelets, nutrients, enzymes, hormones, gases, and inorganic salts

They make up 44 percent of the total They make up 44 percent of the total volume of your blood, and are produced volume of your blood, and are produced in the red bone marrow of your ribs, in the red bone marrow of your ribs, humerus, femur sternum, and other long humerus, femur sternum, and other long bones.bones.
Red blood cells remain active in the Red blood cells remain active in the bloodstream for about 120 days, then bloodstream for about 120 days, then they break down and are removed as they break down and are removed as waste.waste.
Oxygen in the bloodOxygen in the blood Red blood cells Red blood cells
are equipped are equipped with an iron-with an iron-containing containing protein protein molecule molecule called called hemoglobin.hemoglobin.
Oxygen in the bloodOxygen in the blood Oxygen becomes loosely bound to the Oxygen becomes loosely bound to the
hemoglobin in blood cells that have hemoglobin in blood cells that have entered the lungs.entered the lungs.
These oxygenated blood cells carry These oxygenated blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to the body’s oxygen from the lungs to the body’s cells.cells.
As blood passes through body tissues As blood passes through body tissues with low oxygen concentrations, oxygen with low oxygen concentrations, oxygen is released from the hemoglobin and is released from the hemoglobin and diffuses into the tissues.diffuses into the tissues.
Carbon dioxide in the bloodCarbon dioxide in the blood
Once biological work has been done in a Once biological work has been done in a cell, wastes in the form of carbon dioxide cell, wastes in the form of carbon dioxide diffuse into the blood and are carried in diffuse into the blood and are carried in the bloodstream to the lungs.the bloodstream to the lungs.
White blood cells: Infection fightersWhite blood cells: Infection fighters White blood cells play a major role in White blood cells play a major role in
protecting your body from foreign protecting your body from foreign substances and from microscopic substances and from microscopic organisms that cause disease.organisms that cause disease.
They make up They make up only one only one percent of the percent of the total volume of total volume of your blood.your blood.
White Blood Cells
Blood clottingBlood clotting
Your blood contains small cell fragments Your blood contains small cell fragments called called plateletsplatelets, which help blood clot , which help blood clot after an injury.after an injury.
Platelets help link together a sticky Platelets help link together a sticky network of protein fibers called fibrin, network of protein fibers called fibrin, which forms a web over the wound that which forms a web over the wound that traps escaping blood cells.traps escaping blood cells.

Thin capillary walls enable nutrients and Thin capillary walls enable nutrients and gases to diffuse easily between blood gases to diffuse easily between blood cells and surrounding tissue cells.cells and surrounding tissue cells.
As blood leaves the tissues, the As blood leaves the tissues, the capillaries join to form slightly larger capillaries join to form slightly larger vessels called venules.vessels called venules.
