The Human Circulatory System Demystified - Anatomy

By Daisy Williams

If you take a closer peek at theIf you take a look If you look closely at the circulatory system, it will look like a big ball of fleece that a kitty has gotten hold of, and played it into one big winding mess. Actually the circulatory system is likely 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 a couple more details to our knowledge it may make many us to consider about how it actually involves our entire bodies, and that by acknowledging what it needs, and why it requires certain items, we will be all the more likely to check it gets it.

Sometimes to thoroughly interpret something it helps to paint a an image. So permit me do something the same to that here ,and give you something that is simple to visualise.

Picture a two lane highway. One is going North the other Southward. At the beginning of the highway going south is a big constructing plant (the heart). In this industrial plant are four rooms (four chambers of the heart) that from each one make a material, for the last merchandise that this company makes(the enriched oxygen filled blood cells). This good merchandise is pumped out into containers (arteries). These containers are instantly sent away from the plant (heart) down the main road (the blood flow) to several shops on the way(body organs that require the enriched cells.)

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

This procedure takes place over and over again incessantly. This scenerio is only represented this way as a visualisation, to simply help you know how the circulatory system goes.

If we wanted to, we could continue with this visual image as to what occurs in the four rooms (chambers of the heart) in order to get the good product ready.

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.
