Description:
The human body has an incredibly intricate system of vessels that provide all
the different parts of the body with life-sustaining blood. The heart is the
pump that keeps pushing the blood through the thousands of miles of the
circulatory system. This video follows the functions of the circulatory system.
The importance of blood and the roles of red and white blood cells are
emphasized. We see how billions of cells get the oxygen and food they need for
energy and how harmful wastes are removed. Graphics show the functions of the
heart. The four chambers are then examined and the journey of the blood
explained. © 1989 Rainbow Educational Media
