Immune System Interactions with the Circulatory System By Anna
The immune system is closely related to the Circulatory system. The Circulatory system provides transportation for the immune responce. When a pathogen invaides the body, the "fighters" need to find a way to go to the needed area. They get there by traveling in blood vessels. The immune cells pass through the wall of the blood vessel to get to the needed area. These cells include WBC's, RBC's, Macrophages, Pagocytes, TCells, and BCells.
Without the circulatory system, the white blood cells wouldn't be able to travel quickly and efficintly to the places they were needed, so by the time they arrived to help, the entire area was already taken over completely. The Pathogens would have multiplied to millions, and the body would be overrun. The Immune System depends on getting to the place of the infection
extremely fast, before the pathogen can get comfy and multiply. The immune system desperately needs the circulatory system to do it's job.
