livestrong.com/article 18606, 2011). “The cardiovascular system…consists of three interrelated components: blood, the heart, and blood vessels, respectively (Tortora & Derrickson 2011). The heart pumps blood throughout the blood vessels (arteries, veins and capillaries). Two chambers of the heart have the job of moving poorly oxygenated blood whilst the other two chambers move highly oxygenated blood around the body to the cells (Dr Adam Cloe, 2011). So, the cardiovascular system is at the front line

each system functions independently. The cardiovascular system is made up of blood, the heart and blood vessels which are divided into arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules and veins. (www.livestrong.com, 2013) Blood is a thick, red, slightly alkaline fluid and has 3 general functions; transportation, regulation and protection. There are 3 types of blood cell- red cells, white cells and platelets. Red blood cells transports oxygen in a pigment called haemoglobin, from the lungs which have

of gases take place (pulmonary respiration) between the alveoli and the blood, through the pulmonary capillaries. At this point the blood will gain oxygen and lose Carbon dioxide. (tortora 2011) It is the function of the red blood cells to transport oxygen around the body. Red blood cells contain a pigment called haemoglobin which attracts oxygen into the cell. (www.hematology.org) From the lungs the blood flows to the heart through four pulmonary veins. It enters into the left atrium

works. The Heart Your heart is a pump that keeps blood moving around your body. It delivers oxygen and nutrients to all parts of your body, and carries away unwanted carbon dioxide and waste products. As your heart muscle contracts, it pushes blood through your heart. With each contraction, or heartbeat: * Your heart pumps blood forward from its left side and into the arteries. Blood from the right side is pumped to your lungs. * The blood continues through the arteries, which divide off
