TRANSCRIPT
transport
in humans
learningOBJECTIVES
At the end of the lesson, you should be able to:
- Humans
• Explain the need for a transport system in multi-
cellular organisms
• Identify the parts of the human circulatory system
and their respective functions
o Identify 4 heart chambers
o Identify 3 main blood vessels and explain their
functions
o Identify and explain function of blood components
• State how diffusion facilitates the transport of
substances in animals (e.g. diffusion of digested
food molecules and oxygen from blood to tissues)
funFACT
It would take about
1,200,000 mosquito bites
to completely drain the
average human of blood.
(Discover magazine,
August 2007)
whyTRANSPORT?
If you stay within 500 m – 1 km of the school,
you probably would not mind walking to school…
whyTRANSPORT?
whyTRANSPORT?
BUT if you stayed at Bedok, Woodlands, or even Boon
Lay…
You would probably take a form of public transport.
(or go to a school within walking distance…)
WHY?
whyTRANSPORT?
whyTRANSPORT?
Likewise, in unicellular organisms,
The cell is in direct contact with the external
environment.
Diffusion alone is enough to:
- transport essential materials such as oxygen
and nutrients to the cell
- remove waste such as carbon dioxide rapidly
whyTRANSPORT?
In multicellular (complex) organisms,
Cells are far from the external environment.
Diffusion alone is too slow to:
- transport essential materials such as food to
the various organs
- remove waste products efficiently
whyTRANSPORT?
Thus, a transport system is developed to move these
substances eg. Blood system in humans
This will ensure
- a continual supply of nutrients, oxygen and other
useful materials for metabolism
- the removal of toxic waste products produced by
metabolism

blood
The human circulatory
system consists of three
parts:
• heart (pumps blood
around the body)
• blood (liquid which
carries materials)
• blood vessels (tubes
which carry blood around
the body)
theHEART
right atrium
left atrium
right ventricle
left ventricle
theHEART
theHEART
• pumps blood around the body
• all mammals have hearts that are
similar in structure
• human heart is about the size of our
fists
• made up of cardiac muscles
• comprises 4 chambers 2 upper chambers called atria
(left and right) 2 lower chambers called
ventricles (left and right)
theHEART
• right side of heart pumps blood to
lungs only (which are a short
distance from the heart)
• left side of heart pumps blood
around the body (which are further
away from the heart)
• hence left ventricle has thicker
muscular walls than the right
ventricle
theHEART
Oxygenated blood
from the lungs enter
the left atrium and
flow into the left
ventricle
The blood is then
pumped from the
left ventricle out of
the heart to the rest of the body
De-oxygenated
blood from the body enters the right atrium
and then into the
right ventricle
This blood passes
from the right ventricle then out into
the lungs
Left atrium

theHEART
Oxygenated blood
from the lungs enter
the left atrium and
flow into the left
ventricle
The blood is then
pumped from the
left ventricle out of
the heart to the rest
of the body
De-oxygenated
blood from the body
enters the right
atrium and then into
the right ventricle
This blood passes
from the right
ventricle then out
into the lungs

bloodCIRCULATION
• In mammals, blood flows through the heart
twice in one complete circuit. This is known as
double circulation.
bloodCIRCULATION
From the heart to the lungs and
back to the heart,
• In the lungs, the blood collects
oxygen and releases carbon
dioxide.
• Blood that returns to the heart
is now rich in oxygen, called
oxygenated blood.
bloodCIRCULATION
From the heart to the rest of the
body and back to the heart,
• As blood passes the small
intestine, it collects digested
food.
• The blood supplies all the cells
of the body with this digested
food together with oxygen
picked up in the lungs.
• After oxygen is deposited in
body tissues, the blood now has
little oxygen, called
deoxygenated blood.

bloodCOMPONENTS
BLOOD
plasma red blood cells white blood cells platelets
BLOOD
Has two main functions:
To carry materials round the body. These
materials include nutrients, oxygen, carbon
dioxide and other waste substances.
To protect us against diseases.
bloodCOMPONENTS
BLOOD
plasma red blood cells (erythrocytes)
white blood cells (leukocytes)
Platelets
(thrombocytes)
PLASMA
•Pale yellowish liquid
•Contains mainly water (90%)
•Contains mainly dissolved substances like nutrients (digested food), hormones,
antibodies and waste products (carbon
dioxide and urea).
bloodCOMPONENTS
BLOOD
plasma red blood cells (erythrocytes)
white blood cells (leukocytes)
Platelets
(thrombocytes)
•Contains haemoglobin
gives RBC red colour when
combined with oxygen; or
purplish colour when
combined with carbon dioxide
combines reversibly with
oxygen so RBC can transport
oxygen around the body
bloodCOMPONENTS
BLOOD
plasma red blood cells (erythrocytes)
white blood cells (leukocytes)
Platelets
(thrombocytes)
•Does not contain nuclei
More space to contain
haemoglobin for oxygen
transport

The human circulatory
system consists of three
parts:
• blood
• heart
• blood vessels
circulatorySYSTEM

blood
vessels
blood
• The blood vessels are a network of tubes to carry
blood around the body.
• Namely the artery, vein & capillary
bloodVESSELS
Artery Vein Capillary
Thick muscular wall
to withstand high
pressure in artery.
Elasticity allows
artery wall to stretch
and recoil to push
the blood in spurts
along the artery.
Thin muscular wall
as blood moves
more slowly and
smoothly in the vein
at low pressure.
One-cell thick wall
to allow rapid
diffusion to take
place between the
blood and
surrounding tissues.
(Note: Capillary wall
is one-cell thick;
capillary is NOT
one-cell thick)
Artery Vein Capillary
Valves are absent. Valves are present
to prevent backflow
of blood.
Valves are absent.
Artery Vein Capillary
Small lumen Larger lumen Small lumen
(thinnest wall)
Artery Vein Capillary
Always transports
blood away from
heart to the rest of
the body.
Transports mainly
oxygenated blood
(except pulmonary
artery and umbilical
artery).
Always transports
blood from body
towards the heart.
Transports mainly
deoxygenated blood
(except pulmonary
vein and umbilical
vein).
Always carry blood
from small arteries
(arterioles) to small
veins (venules).
Allow exchange of
materials between
blood and body
tissues via diffusion.
