Ode to Circulation
The Circulatory System Song:
Chorus
This system spreads nutrients and oxygen
While removing waste like c02 and toxins
What organs make up the circulatory system
I’ll go ahead and list some
The blood, blood vessels, and the heart
Each one plays a very important part
For this system to work it takes more than one
Stick around to see how they get the job done
Verse 1
Let’s start
With the heart
The heart is a strong, large muscle
It manages the body’s hustle and bustle
You could say it’s the leader of a nation
With such an important job
it has three types of circulation
Non-Oxygenated blood returns from the body to the heart
Flowing from the right atrium to the right ventricle, part to part
The non-oxygenated blood flows through the pulmonary arteries to the lungs
When you breath in, the lungs replenish the blood with oxygen among-
The blood cells, but don’t forget
The process still isn’t done yet
The oxygenated blood flows from the lungs into the left atrium and,
then to the left ventricle, and then out of the aorta
The veins carry the blood throughout the body to support-the
blood tissues and cells, by lending a helping hand
Oxygen is dropped off to cells and tissues
Giving them the energy they need to continue
Along the way they pick up waste that’s dropped off at the kidneys
And they collect c02 that is breathed out of the lungs quickly
Chorus
This system spreads nutrients and oxygen
While removing waste like c02 and toxins
What organs make up the circulatory system
I’ll go ahead and list some
The blood, blood vessels, and the heart
Each one plays a very important part
For this system to work it takes more than one
Stick around to see how they get the job done
Verse 2
The circulatory system, also known as cardiovascular
Works every second with a large-task-for-sure
Working all the time can become tiring
Here’s how to make sure your time left isn’t expiring
Exercise, eat healthy, and don’t smoke on a daily basis
This will help you maintain homeostasis
Homeostasis is when the body is healthy and stable
And every organ is working as best as it’s able to
This is the last section, the end
I hope thing song allowed your knowledge to extend
Thanks for listening along
To my circulatory system song
