The Human circulatory system can be likened to the transport department during a construction. This is because it is the system responsible for transporting materials around the body. These materials include oxygen, water, nutrients and waste such as carbon dioxide. Think of it like a superhighway that travels across your body parts. Just like the name suggests, it is a system and thus is made up of organs that make it happen. The three important parts of the circulation system are the heart, blood, and blood vessels. In an average lifetime, the heart will beat about 3 billion times without rest. The heart is basically a muscle with two pumps that work around the clock to keep things humming in the circulatory system. To keep things that way, you need to maintain good eating habits and behaviors to ensure that your heart is performing at optimum levels at all times. There can never be circulation without blood. This is the amazing fluid that is constantly flowing in your body and oozes out whenever there is a puncture from a cut when you are cutting vegetables or prick when trying to setup a camp fire. The heart pumps the blood all through body parts and thus all veins are somehow connected to the heart. The blood is what carries all the materials that are needed around the body such as nutrients from the digestive system, oxygen from the lungs and wastes from the cells. Blood contains white blood cells, red blood cells, plasma, and platelets, each of them having an important function. There are three types of vessels, the arteries, capillaries and veins. Arteries carry blood from the heart, veins carry blood to the heart and capillaries are the small blood vessels that connect veins to arteries. Amazingly, the human blood is clear, only that the hemoglobin gives it the red color we know. Can you Assemble the human heart?
