The Circulatory System
  1. The circulatory system is made up of Blood, Blood Vessels and the Heart
    1. The Blood vessels are the veins, arteries and capillaries.
      1. Capillaries are one cell thick and allow diffusion to happen between oxygen and carbon dioxide at the lungs.
        1. Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body. They have thick walls in order to carry high volumes of blood to vital organs and muscles.
          1. Veins carry deoxygenated blood from the body to the heart veins are thin and have backflow valves to stop blood going backwards and potentially ending in a clot.
          2. Blood is made up of Red Blood Cells, White Blood Cells, Platelets and Plasma.
            1. Red Blood Cells carry oxygen and are dome shaped.
              1. White Blood Cells fight infections and kill pathogens.
                1. Platelets help blood clot and stop infections entering in to open wounds
                  1. Plasma is a fluid that helps the blood flow.
