Unicellular organism
No part of the cell is far from the external environment
EASY O2 + nutrients can go into the cell easily
Multicellular organism
Many cells are far from the outside environment!
HARD diffusion alone is not enough to bring materials into these cells
UNICELLULAR VS MULTICELLULAR
THAT IS WHY WE NEED A TRASNPORT SYSTEM!!
![Page 4: Transport system in humans](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/554b6367b4c905030a8b4664/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
In humans,
Circulatory system transports blood to and from all parts of the body.
Thus it functionally connects the aqueous environment of all body cells to organs specialized for exchanging gases, absorbing nutrients and disposing waste.
CIRCULATORY SYSTEM
1. It carries oxygen and food to all cells in the body
2. It carries waste away from the cells of the body

The human circulatory system consists of three parts:
THE HUMAN CIRCULATORY SYSTEM
Heart
An organ that pumps blood around the body
Blood vessels
A network of tubesTo carry blood around the body
Blood
A liquid that transports materials
Arteries Capillaries Veins

Arteries receive blood directly from heartNarrow lumenFlow of blood fast + at high pressureThus, The walls of the arteries are THICK, MUSCULAR and ELASTIC to withstand the pressure.- Elastic enables arteries to stretch and recoil, which
pushes blood in spurts and gives rise to pulse- Blood moves along the arteries by contraction and
relaxation of muscles in the walls.
Arteries branch into smaller vessels arterioles (smallest), which connects to the smallest blood vessel, capillaries

Veins carry blood towards the heartBlood pressure is lower than in arteriesBlood flows more slowly and smoothly Thin layer of
wall and elastic tissueHave internal valves
Waste products are brought back to the heart when capillaries join to form VENULES
VEINS

The CAPILLARYCapillaries link Arteries with Veins
the wall of a capillaryis only one cell thick
they exchange materials between the blood and other body cells.
The exchange of materials between the blood and the body can only occur through capillaries.

THE HUMAN HEART
The human heart has four chambers – two smaller chambers (atria) and two large chambers (ventricles)
A muscular wall down the middle SEPTUM, divides the heart into right half and left half to prevent mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood
![Page 30: Transport system in humans](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/554b6367b4c905030a8b4664/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
The Heart
These are arteries. They carry blood away from the heart.
This is a vein. It brings blood from the body, except the lungs.
Coronary arteries, the hearts own blood supply
The heart has four chambers
2 atria
2 ventricles
![Page 31: Transport system in humans](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/554b6367b4c905030a8b4664/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

How does the Heart work?
blood from the body
blood from the lungs
The heart beat begins when the
heart muscles relax and blood
flows into the atria.
STEP ONE
![Page 33: Transport system in humans](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/554b6367b4c905030a8b4664/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
The atria then contract and
the valves open to allow
blood
into the ventricles.
How does the Heart work?
STEP TWO
![Page 34: Transport system in humans](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/554b6367b4c905030a8b4664/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
How does the Heart work?
The valves close to stop blood
flowing backwards.
The ventricles contract forcing
the blood to leave the heart.
At the same time, the atria are
relaxing and once again filling with
blood.The cycle then repeats itself.
STEP THREE

Each time a heart beats, it sets up a wave of pressure called a pulse wave along the main arteries

Arteriosclerosis (hardening of arteries)
Artherosclerosis (narrowing of arteries)
EXAMPLES
![Page 44: Transport system in humans](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/554b6367b4c905030a8b4664/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Occurs when coronary arteries become clogged less blood flows through and parts of heart muscles do not get suffi cient blood
Fatty deposits on the walls of the arteries make them
narrow atherosclerosisAtherosclerosis progresses graduallyCoronary artery becomes more and more clogged and
may eventually get blocked coronary occlusion
CORONARY HEART DISEASE
![Page 45: Transport system in humans](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/554b6367b4c905030a8b4664/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)

In coronary occlusion, the blood flow in the artery stops and so does the supply of oxygen and nutrients
CORONARY OCCLUSION
HEART ATTACK WHEN ONE OR MORE CORONARY ARTERIES
BECOME BLOCKED

WHAT IS PLASMA?
Plasma is the liquid part of the blood which carries everything else.
Plasma is a straw-yellow coloured liquidIf everything in plasma was removed, plasma
would look like this

WHAT DO THE DIFFERENT PARTS OF BLOOD LOOK
LIKE UNDER A MICROSCOPE?
Red blood cells
White blood cells

WHAT IS THE JOB OF RED BLOOD CELLS?
They have a round, fl at disc shape for a large surface area
They do not have a nucleusThey contain haemoglobin
which combines with oxygen in areas of high concentration to form oxyhaemoglobin
Oxygen + haemoglobin oxyhaemoglobin
Red blood cells carry oxygen to the cells of the body for use in respiration
![Page 59: Transport system in humans](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/554b6367b4c905030a8b4664/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
WHAT DO WHITE BLOOD CELLS DO?
White blood cells help the body to fight invading bacteria
White blood cells will engulf and ingest invading bacteria
![Page 60: Transport system in humans](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081505/554b6367b4c905030a8b4664/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
OTHER IMPORTANT JOBS OF THE WHITE BLOOD CELLS:
They produce antibodies which can recognise and fi ght bacteria
They produce antitoxins which neutralise the toxins (poisons) that bacteria produce, which make us feel ill

WHAT DO PLATELETS DO?
Platelets are fragments of cells The job of platelets is to help blood clot and form a
scabThe platelets are involved in the formation of fibrin,
which is needed for clotting bloodThis is useful for stopping bleeding, and for
preventing germs from entering the body through the cut
