Circulatory system
On this adventure we will be traveling through the heart.
First, let’s learn a little about blood. Did you know that blood in the right side of your heart is different for your left?
The right side of the heart sends blood to the lungs, where the red blood cells pick get fresh oxygen. This blood that has picked up oxygen is then returned to the left side of the heart.
The oxygenated blood is circulates to the rest of the body supplying the fuel that the body cells need to function. This also relates to the 2 types of circulation, pulmonary and systemic. Pulmonary circuits is the process of blood carrying oxygen from the lung. In the systemic circuit, oxygenated blood is distributed throughout the body.
Blood Cells
Blood cells are also much more complex than you think. Blood is made up of red blood cells, white blood cells, plasma, and platelets. Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs. White blood cells fight disease and infections. Plasma is the liquid part of blood, carrying nutrients and waste. Platelets prevent blood loss.
Do you hear that heartbeat?
Ever wonder how a heart beats? The beating of a heart is simply just contracting and relaxing of pumping blood from electrical impulse caused by the atria and ventricles.
