The circulatory system functions to circulate blood and dissolved substances to all parts of the body. It consists of three major components: blood, blood vessels, and the heart. The heart pumps blood through the blood vessels, which can be thought of analogously to a water drainage system, where water is pumped through pipes and channeled into a bathtub, representing cells of the body. This analogy demonstrates how the circulatory system works similarly to circulate blood from the heart through vessels to cells, answering why it can be compared to a household water drainage system.

Did you know that the blood circulation system can be
analogous to the water drainage system in your house?
How come?
Well, to find out the answer, we have to understand the
existence of the circulatory system first.
However, before that, as they say, "unknown, unloved"
So, let me introduced myself, My name is Matthew Kevin Imani Kaeng and I will be your teacher today.
Alright...Let's get back on topic!
Basically, the circulatory system is an organ system that
functions to circulate blood and dissolved substances to all parts of the body.
Solutes in the blood that are circulated by this system can
be dissolved substances that are needed or not by the body. Examples of dissolved substances that the body needs include oxygen, nutrients and hormones. Meanwhile, substances that are considered waste by the body are carbon dioxide and other metabolic waste substances.
Very well....
To support its operations, The circulatory
system consists of three major components ➢First, the blood that will flow throughout the body. Blood itself is composed of four further components, namely: ➢Blood Plasma ➢Erythrocytes (Red Blood Cells/RBC) ➢Leukocytes (White Blood Cells/WBC) ➢And Thrombocytes (Platelets)
➢Second, the blood vessels as a place for blood to flow.
This component is also composed of three types, such as Arteries, Veins, and Capillaries
➢Last but not least, the heart as an organ that pumps
blood so it can flow into the blood vessels. As I said before, the components of the circulatory system can be thought of as a water drainage system. ➢ So, before groundwater reaches the bathtub, the water will be pumped first by a water pump through a pipe connected to the water tank. ➢ After that, the water is channeled into the bathtub.
➢ Well, in this case, water represents blood.
➢ The pipes themselves represent blood vessels. ➢ Meanwhile, the water pump machine acts as if it were the heart and the bathtub itself can be compared to the cells of the body. This analogy is in accordance with the blood circulation system in our body, isn’t it? ➢ Where the heart will pump blood which flows to the body's cells through the blood vessels.
Finally. the reason why the blood circulation system is
similar to the water drainage system in the house has been answered.
Okay
That's all for my presentation today. Thank you so much
for your interest and attention, guys. I hope that you can find something useful from this learning. Good afternoon and may Peace and the Blessings of the Heavenly God be with you. Amen
