Biology · Mission: Save the Human Body

Body Fluids and Circulation

Become a doctor-in-training. Explore the blood, enter the heart, travel through blood vessels and solve an emergency by understanding how circulation works.

🎯 Blood is the transport medium. The heart is the pump. Blood vessels are the pathways. Together, they keep the body supplied and connected.

🩺 Your guide: Dr. Oliver, a young medical trainee. · Source: Plus One Biology · NCERT-aligned (14-page lesson storyboard)

⚠ Educational exercise only. Real transfusions require professional blood typing, Rh assessment and cross-matching. Do not use this simulation to make medical decisions. Blood colours in diagrams are a convention — real blood is never blue.

Concept mastery

Mastery needs repeated correct answers including at least one without help — finishing a lesson alone doesn’t count.

Glossary
Haemoglobin
— Iron-containing protein in red blood cells that binds oxygen.
Erythrocyte
— Scientific name for a red blood cell.
Leucocyte
— Scientific name for a white blood cell.
Thrombocyte
— Another name used for a platelet.
Plasma
— Liquid component of blood.
Antigen
— A molecule or marker recognised by the immune system.
Antibody
— A protein that binds a specific antigen or target.
Systole
— Phase when a heart chamber contracts.
Diastole
— Phase when a heart chamber relaxes.
Pulse
— Pressure wave felt in an artery as the heart pumps.
Blood pressure
— Force exerted by blood against vessel walls.
Cardiac output
— Volume of blood pumped by one ventricle per minute.
Lymph
— Fluid in lymphatic vessels; returns excess tissue fluid and supports immune functions.
Accuracy notes
  • Blood is a fluid connective tissue. Plasma is its liquid matrix; formed elements include RBCs, WBCs and platelets.
  • Arteries carry blood away from the heart; veins carry blood towards it. Do not define them by oxygen content.
  • In adult human circulation, pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood and pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood.
  • The left ventricle has a thicker muscular wall than the right ventricle because it pumps blood through systemic circulation.
  • Blood appears red; deoxygenated blood is darker red, not blue. Blue is only a diagram convention.
  • Blood transfusion decisions require blood typing, Rh assessment and cross-matching by trained professionals.
Optional extensions
  • Cardiac cycle. Systole (contraction) and diastole (relaxation). The heart simulation shows atrial systole, ventricular systole and diastole with the valves opening and closing in each phase.
  • ECG, heart rate and cardiac output. Cardiac output = heart rate × stroke volume (e.g. 72 beats/min × 70 mL ≈ 5 L/min). The heart simulation has a heart-rate control and computes output.
  • Lymph and lymphatic circulation. Lymph returns excess tissue fluid to the blood and supports immune functions.
  • Disorders. Hypertension (persistently high blood pressure), coronary artery disease (narrowed coronary arteries) and angina (chest pain when heart muscle gets too little oxygen).
