Let's explore the anatomy, structure and function of the circulatory system, or cardiovascular system! In this video we teach you how the blood flows from the heart to the peripheral tissues and back, using the systemic and pulmonary circuits. With the systemic circuit, the oxygenated blood is transported to the tissues, whereas with the pulmonary circuit, deoxygenated blood gets carried to the lungs.

The heart has an average output of 5,6l/min for males and 4,9l for females. We explain the function of the heart as a muscle pump with its valves, atria and chambers, the arteries, veins and capillaries as well as the main components of the blood.
