Circulatory System
Our circulatory system is a network of blood vessels that makes our blood flow all over our body. This also includes the heart, which keep us alive. Without our heart, the blood cannot be distributed throughout our body. Our circulatory system is important because blood is essential for our all the other systems. For example, the Lymphatic system needs white blood cells to make Lymph.
Scientists discovered a new way to have a successful heart transplant using the artificial heart. This can give twice as better results in heart transplantation than the real heart.
The Circulatory system is mainly composed of blood, blood vessels and the heart. The blood is divided into two main layers which are the plasma and the blood cells (white and red blood cells). There are also platelets, the fragments that develop from large cells in the red bone marrow, which help the wound to recover quickly by covering them. The white blood cells help fight diseases and the red blood cells helps transport oxygen to the heart and to the other parts of our body. The heart pumps the blood to distribute the oxygenated and the deoxygenated blood through the body which is distributed by the blood vessels.
Coronary disease affects most of the Asians these days . When a person has this disease, the blood vessels in their heart has a plaque.
Circulatory system works with the respiratory system and the immune system. When a person breathes, the air goes through the capillaries to the heart. So, the heart pumps the blood and delivers the blood to all the parts of the body by the blood vessels. There are two kinds of blood cells, the white blood cells and the red blood cells. For the Immune system, it is helped by the white blood cells. The white blood cells fight the foreign substances that enter the blood by killing microorganisms and digest toxins in the blood.
FUN FACTS!!!!

2. A person with a big body has slower heart rates.
3. A heart doesn’t need a body to function as long as there is oxygen.
4. The heart beats around 3 billion time in the average person’s life.
5. About 8 million blood cells die in the human body every second.
6. If you put your circulatory system on a straight line, it is actually long enough to orbit the Earth two and a half time.
7. Inside a tiny droplet of blood, there are around 5 million red blood cells and up to 7,000 to 25,000 white blood cells.
8. Women’s heart beat faster than men’s.
9. The aorta is the diameter of a garden hose.
