The circulatory system is an organ system that moves nutrients, gases, and wastes to and from cells to help fight diseases and help stabilize body temperature and pH to maintain homeostasis. This system may be seen strictly as a blood distribution network, but some consider the circulatory system as composed of the cardiovascular system, which distributes blood, and the lymphatic system, which distributes lymph.

The heart is a muscular organ in all vertebrates responsible for pumping blood through the blood vessels by repeated, rhythmic contractions, or a similar structure in annelids, mollusks, and arthropods.
Blood is a specialized bodily fluid that delivers necessary substances to the body's cells — such as nutrients and oxygen — and transports waste products away from those same cells.

The blood vessels are the part of the circulatory system that transport blood throughout the body. There are three major types of blood vessels: the arteries, which carry the blood away from the heart, the capillaries, which enable the actual exchange of water and chemicals between the blood and the tissues; and the veins, which carry blood from the capillaries back towards the heart.

A fist is a hand that has the fingers curled into the palm and the thumb retracted. This is typically used in unarmed combat, such as fist-fighting. This type of hand formation is often used to become "Battle Ready". See also Punch (strike). The clenched fist hand gesture is a sign of defiance in some cultures.

Muscle is the contractile tissue of the body and is derived from the mesodermal layer of embryonic germ cells. Muscle cells contain contractile filaments that move past each other and change the size of the cell. They are classified as skeletal, cardiac, or smooth muscles.

Articles physiology heart chamber: either of the two lower chambers of the heart that receive blood from the upper chambers atria and pump it into the arteries by contraction of their thick muscular walls.

CO2 Carbon dioxide is a chemical compound of one carbon and two oxygen atoms. It is referred to by its formula CO2. It is a non-toxic gas which is set to contribute to the greenhouse effect and thus to global warming.

Right Artium is one of four chambers (two atria and two ventricles) in the human heart. It receives deoxygenated blood from the superior and inferior vena cava and the coronary sinus, and pumps it into the right ventricle through the tricuspid valve.

Right Ventricle is one of four chambers (two atria and two ventricles) in the human heart. It receives deoxygenated blood from the right atrium via the tricuspid valve, and pumps it into the pulmonary artery via the pulmonary valve and pulmonary trunk.

The pulmonary arteries carry blood from heart to the lungs. They are the only arteries (other than umbilical arteries in the fetus) that carry deoxygenated blood.

Oxygen is the element with atomic number 8 and represented by the symbol O. It is a member of the chalcogen group on the periodic table, and is a highly reactive nonmetallic period 2 element that readily forms compounds (notably oxides) with almost all other elements.

The four pulmonary veins carry oxygen-rich blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart. They are the only veins in the post-fetal human body that carry oxygenated (red) blood.

The left ventricle is one of four chambers (two atria and two ventricles) in the human heart. It receives oxygenated blood from the left atrium via the mitral valve, and pumps it into the aorta via the aortic valve.

Information

Your circulatory (say: SIR-kyuh-luh-tohr-ee) system has three parts. The main part is your heart. Your blood is another part. Your blood vessels are the third part.

Your circulatory system works like a delivery truck. It takes blood to all parts of your body. Your body is made up of tiny cells. The blood carries things to your cells that they need. Then your blood picks up the waste products from the cells. These are the things that your cells don't need.

It is about the same size and shape as your fist. It is a muscle. The heart's job is to pump your blood. The blood's job is to move the things your body needs. The blood goes to each little cell that makes up your body.

You have Vessels throughout your body. They move your blood around. Veins, Arteries, and Capillaries are three type of vessels found in your body.

The process of the circulatory system begans in the Cava Vein when the blood gets into the heart with CO2. Then it goes to the right atrium, it runs down to the right ventricle. Then, it flows in the pulmonary artery, it take it to the lungs and there the blood clean mix with oxygen. It leave the CO2 in the lungs. The pulmonary vein carries the blood again to the heart, it enters to the left atrium . It go down to the left ventricle and there the blood start to bump around all our body.

History

Hi, this project is about HUMAN CIRCULATION. This project we began in , with the porpuse of teaching other people about human circulation. When we thought about creating the web page, we decided to put information, home, photos, videos, etc to make it a better and a very easy way to learn in fun.

Our best teacher, his name is T.Angel. He give us the idea to create a web page, we considered and started. This web page took us a few days creating it, at the time we finish, April 3nd of 2009 we presented it to our classmates and to the teacher.

The 6 of us made this web page with all of our effort, dedication, concentration, and a specific point in gruop. We do the best of our inteligent and dedication. Oh, we almost forget, We hope you can learn of this and understand each point of our explanations.

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ WE HOPE YOU LIKE OUR WEB PAGE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good Luck.
