TEXT EXAMPLE
THE CIRCULATORY SYSTEMS
The blood is the transport system by which oxygen and nutrients
reach the body’s cells and waste materials are carried away. The
heart, a muscular organ, positioned behind the ribcage and between
the lungs, is the pump that keeps this transport system moving.
Blood leaves the left side of the heart and travels through
arteries, which gradually divide into capillaries. In the capillaries,
food and oxygen are released to the body cells, and carbon dioxide
and other waste products are returned to the bloodstream. The blood
then travels in veins back to the right side of the heart, where it is
pumped directly to the lungs. In the lungs, carbon dioxide is
exchanged for oxygen, and this renewed blood flows back to the left
side of the heart, and the whole process begins again.
