Circulatory System Function
3. Heals wounds and fight off diseases
Homeostasis
Maintenance of a relatively constant internal
state under a much wider range of
environmental conditions.

Blood

Blood• The red fluid that circulates in our blood
vessels
• Primary Function -Transports Oxygen and
CO2 (waste)
• Main player in the body’s defense against
infection

Hemopoietic Tissues
• Hemopoiesis – blood formation
• Bone Marrow, Spleen, Liver, and Kidneys
10
BloodTwo main components to blood:
1. Blood Plasma
2. Blood Cells (Cellular Component)

11
Blood Plasma
• Fluid component of the blood
• Makes up 55% to 60% of total blood volume
• About 92% is water (almost identical to sea
water)
• Other 8% is blood proteins and trace
materials
12
Red Blood Cells
(Erythrocytes)95% of cellular component
Blood Cells

Platelets
(Thrombocytes)Less than 1% of “cellular component”
Not Cells!
Blood Types• Although all blood is made of the same plasma and
cells, not all blood is alike.
• Four major common blood types:
10
Blood Types• Blood Type – “Antigens” on the surface of the red
blood cells. A antigens, B antigens
Blood Types
• Blood Type A – A antigens
• Blood Type B – B antigens
• Blood Type AB – both A and B antigens
• Blood Type O – NO antigens
11
Blood Types• Antigens can trigger a patient's immune system to
attack transfused blood
ABO Blood Group System
Type O is the universal donor
Cannot receive A, B or AB blood
Type AB is the universal recipient
Type A can only receive
Type A and Type O
Type B can only receive
Type B and Type O
12
Rh Factor
• In addition to the A and B antigens, there is a third
antigen called the Rh factor,
• Rh can be either present (+) or absent ( – )
• In general, Rh negative blood is given to Rh-
negative patients, and
• Rh positive blood or Rh negative blood may be
given to Rh positive patients.

The approximate distribution of blood types in the U.S. population
(distribution is different for specific racial and ethnic groups):

Circulatory System Structure
Veins and Arteries
• Vein – a blood vessel that carries blood
toward (i.e. Back to) the heart
• Artery – a blood vessel that carries blood
away from the heart to the capillary
networks
• Capillary – site of exchange
15
Blood Vessel Types
Arterial Portion
• Heart
• Artery
• Arteriole
• Capillary
Venous Portion
• Capillary
• Venule
• Vein
• Heart
About 70 % of the blood volume is found within the Venous portion
