Circulatory System
     

On average, your body has about 5 liters
of blood continually traveling through it by
way of the circulatory system. The heart,
the lungs, and the blood vessels work
together to form the circle part of the
circulatory system.

The pumping of the heart forces the blood
through to every cell in the body.  It is a
masterful organ that moves oxygen, food,
and hormones and water to the cells and
carries away carbon dioxide, urea and
waste products to the lungs, liver, kidneys
and sweat glands.

 
The body's circulatory system really has three distinct parts:  heart-lung circulation, internal heart circulation and systemic circulation of lymphatic fluids which fight disease.  We here at Adult Medicine of Lake County are experts in the diagnosis and treatment of the lungs (pulmonary), the heart (coronary), and the rest of the system (systemic). We have an entire staff of specialists to attend to these areas of medicine. Each part must be working independently in order for them to all work together
