Anatomy Students Guide To The Human Circulatory System

By Daisy Williams

If you take a closer peep at theIf you take a see If you look closely at the circulatory system, it will look like a big ball of fleece that a kitten has gotten hold of, and played it into one big knotted mess. Actually the circulatory system is probably a lot easier to sort out then that wool would be.

Our average knowledge of the heart is,if it is unhealthy, we may suffer a heart attack. That there are 4 chambers in the heart, and that there is a entire string of veins and arteries We don't really know that much besides that fact, that if we cut an artery we could bleed to death. Another fact that is moderately familiar to us, is we know that if we have too much fat in our blood, then cholesterol has something to do with it, and its not good for us. That may be what we know of the circulatory system. Actually when you stop to think about it, thats a fair sum of wisdom.

If we had just a few more details to our wisdom it may have many us to consider about how it really involves our full bodies, and that by learning what it wants, and why it needs certain things, we will be all the more likely to ensure it gets it.

At times to thoroughly project something it helps to paint a an image. So allow me do something the same to that here ,and hand you something that is simple to picture.

Visualise a two lane expressway. One is going Northward the other South. At the start of the highway going south is a big manufacturing plant (the heart). In this plant are four chambers (four chambers of the heart) that each make a material, for the final product that this company makes(the enriched oxygen filled blood cells). This good merchandise is pumped out into containers (arteries). These containers are now transferred away from the industrial plant (heart) down the main road (the blood flow) to different shops along the way(body organs that require the enriched cells.)

Now in the other direction coming down the Northward highway is containers (veins) getting back toward the plant. These containers are taking waste stuffs (blood that requires to be re oxygenated) These are dropped off at the plant (heart) where it will be refurbished(re oxygenated) and then sent out once again in the good containers (arteries).

This procedure takes place again and again endlessly. This scenerio is only given this way as a visualization, to simply aid you know how the circulatory system goes.

If we required to, we could go on with this visualisation as to what comes about in the four rooms (chambers of the heart) in order to get the good product prepared.

Hopefully this has given you a little more understanding of how the system works and the grandness of it . For example going back to our visualization, if one item were to fail then it would have a direct affect on all the other steps. This is exactly would occur in our bodies. - 15254
