    CIRCULATO
    RY SYSTEM
    CIRCULATORY SYSTEM
    It works like a transportation
    system inside the body that
    delivers essential gases,
    nutrients, minerals, to the
    different parts of the body.
    A. BLOOD
    It is a tissue made of fluid, cells,
    and fragments of cells. Blood
    transports oxygen, carbon
    dioxide, hormones, nutrients and
    minerals.
    It is 55% plasma and 45% formed
    elements.
    BLOOD
    •Plasma
    •Red Blood Cells (RBC)
    •White Blood Cells (WBC)
    •Platelets
    1. PLASMA
    Plasma is a yellowish fluid
    that suspends blood cells,
    collects waste materials,
    and nourishes cells as it
    flows throughout the body.
    2. RBC (RED BLOOD CELLS)
    It is also known as erythrocytes. They are
    biconcave discs that contain the oxygen-
    carrying protein called hemoglobin.

    They are found in the bone marrow, in the


    spleen and in the liver.

    They can only live for about 120 days.


    2. WBC (WHITE BLOOD
    CELLS)
    It is also known as leukocytes.
    They are bigger than RBC and
    contain large nuclei.

    Their main function is to seek


    and attack germ, viruses and
    bacteria that enter the body.
    TYPES OF WBC
    1.Lymphocytes
    2.Monocytes
    3.Neutrophil
    4.Basophil
    5.Eosinophil
    3. PLATELETS
    It is also known as thrombocytes.
    They repair tissue and close internal and
    external wounds.
    The lifespan of a platelet is about 5 to 9 days.

    Homeostasis involves three mechanism:


    Vasoconstriction
    Platelet Plug Formation
    COMPOSITION OF BLOOD
    Vasoconstriction
    Is the narrowing or constriction of the blood vessels, which is
    usually observed in damaged blood vessels. This process is
    important to minimize internal bleeding.

    Platelet Plug Formation


    When blood vessels are damaged, blood is exposed to
    collagen fibers in the basement membrane of the vessel and
    activate the platelets to release adenosine diphosphate
    (ADP) and thromboxane which come together and form a
    plug to close the open vessel.

    Blood Clotting
    Is the transformation of blood from liquid substance into
    WRAP
    UP
    Three main parts of the circulatory system:
    Blood, heart, blood vessels
    Four parts of the blood:
    Plasma, RBC, WBC, Platelets
    It is also known as erythrocytes:
    Red Blood Cells
     it is also known as leukocytes:
    White Blood Cells
    It is also known as thrombocytes:
    Platelets
    The 5 types of white blood cells:
    Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Neutrophil, Basophil, Eosinophil
