BLOOD VESSELS
Arteries
Carries blood away from the heart and transport oxygen-rich blood.
Veins
Carries blood toward the heart and usually carry oxygen-poor blood
Capillaries
Their thin walls allow exchange of gases
HEART
The heart is located at the left of the midline of the body. It is protected by the ribcage.
It is a powerful muscular organ because it is made up of a special muscle called the heart muscle.
In humans, one contraction and one relaxation of the heart muscle make up one heartbeat. The average heart rate in a healthy person is about 60 to 70 heartbeats per minute.
The function of the heart is to pump blood throughout the body.
The heart rate is affected by age, health and type of activity.
Our heart rate increases when we exercise. Our body carries out respiration to release energy from the digested food in the presence of oxygen so that we have energy to perform the activity that is taking place.
HOW DIFFERENT ORGAN SYSTEMS WORK TOGETHER
Digestive System
The digestive system provides the digested food for the organs in the circulatory system to obtain energy to function normally.
Muscular System
The muscular system provides heart muscle for the heart to pump blood continuously around the body.The smooth muscles in blood vessels help to push blood flowing away or towards the heart.
Respiratory System
The respiratory system provides oxygen for the organs in the circulatory system to carry out respiration in order to function normally.It also helps remove carbon dioxide produced from respiration by these organs.
BLOOD
Blood transports substances around the body through the blood vessels.
