It is composed of plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lymph<\/strong> is a type of body fluid that circulates through the lymphatic system, transporting lymphocytes and other immune cells. It is composed of lymphatic fluid and lymph nodes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Extracellular fluid<\/strong> is a type of body fluid that surrounds cells and tissues, providing them with nutrients and removing waste. It is composed of plasma, interstitial fluid, and transcellular fluid.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Functions_of_Body_Fluids\"><\/span>Functions of Body Fluids<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The body fluids have many important functions. They help to regulate body temperature, protect the body&#8217;s organs, help with digestion, and help to move nutrients and waste products around the body.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Circulation\"><\/span>What is Circulation?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Circulation is the movement of blood throughout the body. The heart pumps blood through the arteries to all of the body&#8217;s organs. The organs use the oxygen and nutrients in the blood to function. The blood then returns to the heart through the veins. The heart pumps the blood back out to the body through the arteries.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mechanism_of_Circulation\"><\/span>Mechanism of Circulation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The heart is a muscle that pumps blood throughout the body. The heart has four chambers: two upper chambers called atria and two lower chambers called ventricles. The atria receive blood from the body and the ventricles pump blood out of the heart. The heart is divided into two hemispheres, and the left hemisphere pumps blood to the body and the right hemisphere pumps blood to the lungs. The heart is also divided into four valves: the two atrioventricular valves (mitral and tricuspid) between the atria and ventricles, and the two pulmonary valves (semilunar valves) between the ventricles and the lungs. The valves open and close to keep the blood flowing in one direction.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Disorders_of_the_Circulatory_System\"><\/span>Disorders of the Circulatory System<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are many disorders that can affect the circulatory system. Some of the most common are heart disease, heart attack, stroke, and high blood pressure.<\/p>\n<p>Heart disease is a condition that affects the heart muscle. It can cause the heart to become weakened and can lead to heart failure. A heart attack is a condition that occurs when the heart muscle is suddenly blocked. This can cause the heart to stop beating and can lead to death. Stroke is a condition that occurs when the blood supply to the brain is blocked. This can cause the brain to die. High blood pressure is a condition that occurs when the blood pressure is too high. This can damage the blood vessels and can lead to heart disease, stroke, and kidney failure.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Body_Fluids_and_Circulation_-_At_A_Glance\"><\/span>Body Fluids and Circulation &#8211; At A Glance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Blood is a red fluid that circulates through the body, delivering oxygen and nutrients to cells and removing carbon dioxide and other waste products.<\/li>\n<li>The heart is a muscular organ that pumps blood through the arteries and veins.<\/li>\n<li>Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries.<\/li>\n<li>Heart rate is the number of times the heart beats per minute.<\/li>\n<li>The lymphatic system is a network of lymph nodes and vessels that helps rid the body of excess fluid, bacteria, and other waste products.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is Body Fluid?
