Transportation - The circulatory system
LA
All the living organisms need nutrients, gases, liquids etc., for growth
and maintenance of the body.
All the organisms would need to send these materials to all parts of
their body whether they are unicellular organisms or multicellular.
In unicellular organisms these may not have to be transported to longer

distances while in multicellular forms have to be sent substances to long
distances as far as say over 100 feet for the tallest plant on earth.
In lower organisms like amoeba, hydra etc., all the materials are
transported through a simple processes like diffusion, osmosis etc.,
In higher animals with trillions of cells in their body adopt the method

To avoid delay a separate system is needed to carry the materials much
faster and more efficiently.
This specialized system that is developed by organisms is called ‘the
circulatory system’.
We eat solids, we drink liquids, and we breathe gases. Do you think

that it is possible to transport all the three types of materials, through a
single system?
Let us study how this circulation is carried out in our body.
