1. Circulatory System & Blood Components

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Circulatory System: An organ system responsible for transporting blood, nutrients, gases, and waste products throughout the body.
  • Blood: A fluid tissue composed of plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, that circulates in blood vessels.
  • Red Blood Cells (RBCs): Cells that carry oxygen from the lungs to body tissues, containing hemoglobin which binds oxygen.
  • White Blood Cells (WBCs): Cells involved in defending the body against infections; they fight germs and produce antibodies.
  • Blood Vessels: Tubular structures (arteries, veins, capillaries) that transport blood; arteries carry blood away from the heart, veins carry it back, and capillaries facilitate exchange.
  • Heart: A muscular organ with four chambers (two atria and two ventricles) that pumps blood through the circulatory system.
