Human Circulatory System

The circulatory system is an organ system that transports nutrients, oxygen, and waste throughout the body, consisting of the heart, blood, and blood vessels. The heart pumps blood, which carries essential substances, while blood vessels include arteries, veins, and capillaries that facilitate circulation and exchange. Maintaining heart health involves a balanced diet, regular exercise, stress management, and monitoring health indicators.

HUMAN CIRCULATORY SYSTEM

1. What is the circulatory system?


A> The circulatory system is an organ system responsible for the
circulation and transportation of nutrients, oxygen, and waste products
throughout the body. It includes the heart, blood, and blood vessels,
working together to maintain the body's functions and remove waste.
2. What are the parts of the circulatory system?
A> The circulatory system comprises the heart, blood, and blood vessels.
The heart pumps blood, while blood carries nutrients, oxygen, carbon
dioxide, and waste products. Blood vessels, including arteries, veins,
and capillaries, facilitate the transportation of these substances.
3. Explain the structure and functioning of the heart.
A> The heart is a muscular organ located between the lungs, divided into
four chambers: the left and right atria (upper chambers) and the left
and right ventricles (lower chambers). It functions as a pump, receiving
deoxygenated blood from the body into the right atrium, pumping it to
the lungs for oxygenation, receiving oxygenated blood back into the left
atrium, and then pumping it out to the body through the left ventricle.
4. What is blood?
A> Blood is a fluid vital for life, composed of plasma and blood cells
(red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets). It carries
nutrients, oxygen, carbon dioxide, hormones, and waste products
throughout the body.
5. What is the function of blood?
A> Blood carries essential nutrients, oxygen, and hormones to body
organs, transports carbon dioxide and waste products to excretory organs
(like the kidneys), aids in temperature regulation, and plays a crucial
role in immune response and clotting.
6. Explain the different types of blood cells.
A> a. Red Blood Cells (RBCs): Carry oxygen from the lungs to body cells
and tissues.
b. White Blood Cells (WBCs): Part of the immune system, defending
against infections and foreign substances.
c. Platelets: Assist in blood clotting to prevent excessive bleeding.
7. What are blood vessels?
A> Blood vessels are tubular structures that carry blood throughout the
body. They include arteries (carry oxygen-rich blood away from the
heart), veins (carry oxygen-depleted blood back to the heart), and
capillaries (connect arteries and veins, facilitating nutrient and gas
exchange).
8. Name the different types of blood vessels.
A> Arteries, veins, and capillaries are the three main types of blood
vessels in the circulatory system.
9. What are arteries? What are arterioles?
A> Arteries carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart to various body
tissues. Arterioles are smaller branches of arteries that further divide
into capillaries, regulating blood flow into tissues.
10. What are veins?
A> Veins carry oxygen-depleted blood back to the heart from body
tissues.
11. What are the two types of veins? Write their functions.
A> a. Superior vena cava: Brings deoxygenated blood from organs located
above the heart (like the head and arms) back to the heart.
b. Inferior vena cava: Returns deoxygenated blood from organs below the
heart (such as the legs, kidneys, and abdomen) back to the heart.
12. What are capillaries?
A> Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels, facilitating the exchange
of nutrients, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and waste products between blood
and tissues.
13. How does blood circulation take place? Write the steps.
A> a. Deoxygenated blood from body organs enters the heart through
veins.
b. The heart pumps this blood to the lungs for oxygenation.
c. Oxygen-rich blood returns to the heart from the lungs.
d. The heart pumps oxygenated blood to body tissues through arteries.
e. Capillaries facilitate nutrient and gas exchange between blood and
tissues.
f. Deoxygenated blood returns to the heart through veins, restarting the
cycle.
14. Give some tips for good heart health.
A> Maintain a healthy diet, engage in regular physical activity, manage
stress levels, avoid smoking and exposure to second-hand smoke, limit
alcohol consumption, monitor blood pressure and cholesterol levels, get
enough sleep, and follow medical advice for any heart-related concerns.
15. Name some asanas.
A> Tadasana (Mountain Pose), Deep breathing exercises, Uttanasana
(Standing Forward Bend), Sukhasana (Easy Pose) are beneficial yoga
asanas for heart health and overall well-being.
