the blood transportation system which is also

vessels.
• The heart keeps the blood flowing through
the vessels.

circulatory system
The diagram illustrates the
general layout of the human
blood system. Those arrows
shows the direction of the
blood flow. If you follow the
arrows beginning at the
lungs, you can see the blood
flows into the left-hand side
of the heart, and then out to
the rest of the body. It is
brought back to the lungs

materials of cell (CO2) is known as
deoxygenated blood.
