functions
What is the function for the red blood cell do In the circulatory system
To delivering oxygen to support metabolism and aiding in pH balance.
What is the organs that are in circulatory system
the heart (the pump), blood vessels (arteries, veins, capillaries), and blood
what disease affects the circulatory system
conditions affecting the heart and blood vessels, often caused by plaque buildup (atherosclerosis), high blood pressure, or lifestyle factors
This condition happens when the body does not have enough healthy red blood cells to carry o2
anemia
What does the Blood cells journey do
Red blood cells take about 20 seconds to make a full trip through the entire vascular system.
What is the function of the veins in the circulatory system
To return deoxygenated blood from tissues back to the heart
What does the heart do in the organs
continuously circulating blood through vessels to deliver oxygen and nutrients to tissues while removing waste products like carbon dioxide.
what diseases are in the circulatory system
conditions affecting the heart and blood vessels, often caused by plaque buildup (atherosclerosis), high blood pressure, or lifestyle factors.
This circulatory disease happens when fatty plaque builds up in the Arteries ans slows blood flow
atherosclesrosis
What does the blood volume do
What is the function of the arteries for the circulatory system
carry blood away from the heart to tissues and organs
What do the blood vessels for
transport blood throughout the body to deliver oxygen and nutrients to tissues while removing waste products like carbon dioxide.
how does diseases get in the circulatory system
through pathogens entering the bloodstream via injury or infection, or through metabolic, lifestyle, and genetic factors that cause damage, inflammation, and plaque buildup in blood vessels.
This illness happens when a blood clot blocks blood flow to part of the brain
stroke
What does the hidden color do (hint it starts with veins)
What is the function of the capillaries
primary site for the exchange of oxygen, nutrients, and waste products between blood and body tissues
what does the arteries do in the circulatory system
carry oxygenated blood (except for the pulmonary artery) away from the heart to tissues throughout the body
how does the heart get diseases in the circulatory system
when arteries become narrowed or blocked by plaque buildup (atherosclerosis), reducing blood flow and oxygen to the heart muscle.
This illness happens when blood pressure in the arteries is higher than normal
High blood pressure
What organ in this system beats more than 100,000 times a day
heart
What is the main function of the circulatory system in the human body?
To transport o2, nutrient, hormone, and waste throughout the body using the blood.
what does the capillaries do in the circulatory system
primary site for the exchange of oxygen, nutrients, and waste products between blood and body tissues.
How do the arteries get disease in the circulatory system
primarily through atherosclerosis, a slow process where plaque—comprised of cholesterol, fat, and calcium—builds up inside artery walls, causing them to harden and narrow
This illness happens when the heart cannot pump blood through the body
heart failure
If you laid all of the blood vessels in the human body end to end, they would stretch about how many miles
60,000
