Circulatory System Overview for Grade 12

This document provides information about the circulatory system. It begins with an introduction about organ systems and their importance for survival. The objectives are then stated as learning about organ composition/functions and their roles in survival and homeostasis. The discussion section describes the major functions of the circulatory system as transporting oxygen, nutrients, wastes, and more. It explains the composition includes the heart, blood vessels, and lungs. Finally, it discusses how homeostasis is maintained by redirecting blood flow to active tissues and lists tips for proper circulatory health such as diet, exercise, and avoiding smoking.

CIRCULATORY SYSTEM
(Name of the System)
INTRODUCTION

The human body is a remarkable biological machine that is supported and maintained by
well-designed and interdependent body systems and their unique organs, all contributing in different ways to
the biological, physical, mental, and emotional health of a human being.
All organ systems are important for keeping the organism alive. The human body contains
five organs that are considered vital for survival. They are the heart, brain, kidneys, liver, and lungs. If any of
the five vital organs stops functioning, the death of the organism is imminent without medical intervention.

OBJECTIVES
a. Learn and reinforce your understanding of the composition and functions of organs and organ systems.
b. Understand the vital roles that organs play within each organ system as well as their role in the
survival of the living body and the maintenance of homeostasis throughout life.

DISCUSSION
A. Major Function of the System

The circulatory system transports wastes and supplies oxygen and nutrients to cells. The heart
alternately pumps oxygenated and deoxygenated blood. Blood vessels are classified into three
types: arteries, capillaries, and veins.

 Functions of blood and circulation:

1. Circulates OXYGEN and removes Carbon Dioxide.


2. Provides cells with NUTRIENTS.
3. Removes the waste products of metabolism to the excretory organs for
disposal.
4. Protects the body against disease and infection.
5. Clotting stops bleeding after injury.
6. Transports HORMONES to target cells and organs.

7. Helps regulate body temperature.

B. Composition of the System

The circulatory system is made up of three separate but interconnected systems: the heart
(cardiovascular), the lungs (pulmonary), and arteries, veins, coronary, and portal vessels
(systemic).

The heart, blood, and blood arteries are important components of the human cardiovascular
system. It consists of the pulmonary circulation, which is a "loop" through the lungs where
blood is oxygenated, and the systemic circulation, which is a "loop" through the rest of the
body where oxygenated blood is provided.

C. How the system maintains homeostasis throughout the life of the


organism

Blood flow must be redirected continuously to the tissues as they grow more active in order to
maintain homeostasis in the circulatory system and give enough blood to the tissues. Because
there is insufficient blood flow to distribute blood evenly to all tissues at the same time, the
circulatory system participates in resource allocation in a very real sense.

When a person exercises, for example, more blood is delivered to the skeletal muscles, the
heart, and the lungs. More blood is sent to the digestive system after a meal. Only the brain
receives a more or less continuous flow of blood regardless of whether you are moving,
resting, thinking, or doing anything else.

D. Proper ways of taking care of the system

The circulatory system, which includes your heart and blood arteries, is critical to the proper
functioning of your body. Your body's finely tuned system transports oxygen, nutrition,
electrolytes, and hormones. Heart disease and stroke can be caused by interruptions,
blockages, or disorders that impair how your heart or blood veins pump blood.

Work with your doctor to manage diseases including high blood pressure, high cholesterol,
and diabetes if you're at risk for circulatory system disease. To avoid these problems, you can
take actions and adopt lifestyle adjustments.

Tips for circulatory health


 Maintain a healthy weight.
 Don’t smoke.
 Exercise a minimum of 30 minutes a day, most days of the week.
 Maintain a healthy, low-fat, low-cholesterol diet with more fruits,
vegetables, and whole grains.
 Avoid Tran’s fats and saturated fats, which are often found in processed
foods and fast food.
 Limit salt and alcohol intake.
 Use relaxation and self-care to reduce stress.
