WHAT IS TRANSPORT AND CIRCULATION?

A transport system is a system for moving materials

from an exchange surface to cells located throughout
the organism. And the circulation, also known as the
circulatory system, is an organ system that permits
blood to circulate and transport nutrients. This system
ensures that tissues get enough oxygen and nutrients,
as well as those waste items are removed.
PLANTS TRANSPORT SYSTEM

Water and minerals are the only things that need to be

transported in plants. Food created in leaves by photosynthesis  is
another item that must be transferred to other sections of the
plant. Plants have two types of transportation systems these
are xylem and phloem. Water and minerals are transported
through Xylem. Sugars and amino acids dissolved in water are
transported through phloem.
PLANTS TRANSPORT SYSTEM
Xylem vessel is a long tube made up of dead cells joined end to end. It is
a non-living tube that runs from the roots of the plants and runs through
the stem and reaches every leaf. In the xylem, there are no end walls
which means that the xylem forms a continuous hollow tube. Other than
transporting water and minerals, the xylem vessel also provides strength
to the stem and keeps it upright. While Phloem is present in all the parts
of a plant. This is a long tube made of many living cells joined end to
end. Unlike xylem, phloem vessels contain cytoplasm, and this goes
through holes from one cell to the next. Phloem transports sucrose and
amino acids up and down the plant. This is called translocation, phloem is
also made up of living tissues, and the cells of the phloem needed to be
alive because they provide energy to transport foods.
ANIMALS CIRCULATORY
SYSTEM

The circulatory system transports blood to a place or location that may be oxygenated and

wastes can be disposed of. Circulation then transports newly oxygenated blood to the body's
tissues. There are two types of circulatory systems: open and closed. In open circulation, blood
is not encased in blood vessels and is pushed into a space called a hemocoel. In contrast, in the
closed circulation, blood is pumped through veins that are distinct from the body's interstitial
fluid.
HUMAN CIRCULATORY
SYSTEM

To acquire oxygen, the circulatory system circulates

blood from the heart to the lungs. The heart then
circulates oxygenated blood to the rest of the body by
arteries. The veins return oxygen-depleted blood to the
heart, where it begins to circulate. In general, the
circulatory system transports wastes from the body and
distributes oxygen and nutrients to cells.
WHAT IS IN YOUR BLOOD?

Blood is one of the most vital elements of life. Blood may

be found in almost any animal with a circulatory system.
From an evolutionary standpoint, blood was thought to
have evolved from a sort of cell responsible for
phagocytosis and feeding. But do you know what your
blood contains?
 WHAT IS IN YOUR BLOOD?

Blood is a fluid connective tissue that consists of plasma, blood

cells and platelets. It circulates throughout our body delivering
oxygen and nutrients to various cells and tissues.
The primary purpose of red blood cells is to transfer oxygen
from and to various tissues and organs. White blood cells, on
the other hand, primarily contribute to immunity and defense
mechanisms. Finally, plasma is a pale yellow liquid that, when
separated, contains salts, nutrients, water, and enzymes. Blood
plasma also contains important proteins and other
components that are required for good health.
BLOOD VESSELS
As the heart beats, blood is pumped through a network of
blood arteries known as the circulatory system. The vessels
are flexible tubes that transport blood to all parts of the
body. The arteries transport oxygen and nutrients away
from your heart and to the tissues of your body. The veins
return oxygen-depleted blood to the heart. Finally, the
capillaries exchange oxygen and nutrients for carbon
dioxide and waste. It usually flows as Arteries carry blood
away from the heart. Veins are responsible to carry blood
back to the heart. And capillaries are blood vessels that
surround human cells and tissues, delivering and absorbing
oxygen, nutrients, and other chemicals.
PARTS OF HUMAN The primary function of the human heart is to circulate blood
HEART throughout the body. It also regulates the rhythm and speed of your
heartbeat and keeps your blood pressure stable. Your heart is made up
of four chambers. You have two chambers on the top right atrium and
left atrium, as well as two on the bottom right ventricle and left
ventricle. The right atrium contains two big veins that supply oxygen-
poor blood to the right atrium. The superior vena cava transports blood
from your upper body to your heart. And the inferior vena cava
transports blood from the lower body to the heart. The blood is then
pumped to your right ventricle by the right atrium. The right ventricle is
the lower right chamber that sends oxygen-depleted blood to your
lungs via the pulmonary artery.
PARTS OF HUMAN The lungs replenish the oxygen in the blood. After the lungs have filled
HEART the blood with oxygen, the pulmonary veins transport the blood to the
left atrium. This upper chamber is responsible for pumping blood to
your left ventricle. The left ventricle is somewhat bigger than the right
ventricle. It circulates oxygen-rich blood throughout your body. Your
heart has valves, which act as doorways between the chambers of your
heart. They open and close to enable blood to circulate. the valves are
tricuspid, mitral, aortic and pulmonary valves. The Tricuspid valve, which
opens when blood flows from your right atrium to your right ventricle,
the Mitral valve, which opens when blood flows from your left atrium to
your left ventricle, the Aortic valve, which opens when blood flows from
your left ventricle to your aorta, and finally the Pulmonary valve, which
opens when blood flows from your right ventricle to your pulmonary
arteries.
TYPES OF BLOOD
CIRCULATION
 SYSTEMIC CIRCULATION

The systemic circulation ensures that all bodily

tissues receive a functioning blood supply. The
arteries, capillaries, and veins of the systemic
circulatory system are the channels that carry
oxygen and nutrients to the cells while picking up
carbon dioxide and waste materials. The systemic
circulation transports oxygenated blood from the
left ventricle to the capillaries in the body's tissues
through the arteries.
PULMONARY CIRCULATION

Pulmonary circulation transports blood from the heart

to the lungs. It carries deoxygenated blood to the
lungs, where it absorbs oxygen and excretes carbon
dioxide. The blood enters the right atrium first. The
blood eventually goes into the right ventricle through
the tricuspid valve. When the heart beats, the ventricle
pumps blood into the pulmonary artery via the
pulmonic valve. The pulmonary artery transports blood
to the lungs, where it absorbs oxygen.
CORONARY CIRCULATION

 Coronary circulation refers to the movement of

blood via the blood arteries that supply the heart
muscle, coronary arteries supply oxygenated blood
to the heart muscle. Because coronary arteries
transport blood to the heart muscle, any coronary
artery malfunction or illness can have catastrophic
consequences by decreasing the delivery of oxygen
and nutrients to the heart muscle. This can result in
a heart attack and, in extreme cases, death.
HEPATIC PORTAL
CIRCULATION

The hepatic portal system is a vein network that

includes the hepatic portal vein and its tributaries. It is
in charge of guiding blood from the gastrointestinal
tract between the esophagus and rectum, as well as
venous drainage from auxiliary organs like the spleen
and pancreas. The hepatic system is significant because
it takes blood from the colon and transports it to the
liver, which is the site of several chemical processes
related to food absorption and drug regulation.
RENAL BLOOD CIRCULATION

The renal circulation delivers blood to the kidneys via

the left and right renal arteries, which branch directly
from the abdominal aorta. The renal arteries are short
and branch straight from the abdominal aorta, allowing
arterial blood to reach the kidneys at the highest
attainable pressure. Renal perfusion, like with other
vascular beds, is governed by renal arterial blood
pressure and vascular resistance to blood flow. As
blood rushes into your kidney through the renal artery,
it branches into smaller and smaller blood vessels until
it reaches the nephrons.
