Circulatory System

Circulatory System??? is that like Circulation system.. you know that system that puts warm and cold air throughout your house? No, silly, they're talking about the system inside your body that makes your blood circulate throughout the whole body... It starts with the heart.....

To be able to understand how th Circulatory System works, you need to understand the part played by your heart. Here are several sites to help you understand how the heart works:

An easy and fun place to start is the Brain Pop site for a quick movie about how the heart works. Take a quiz while you wait for the movie to load.

Or you can get a guided tour and watch how the heart pumps blood from the Virtual Body Copyright HCA2002.

If you want more details visit the Franklin Institute heart display. At the museum in Philadelphia, PA, USA, you can actually walk through the heart.

OR see a real heart at the Medical Pathology Lab.
