by Raimer Rojas © 2007 view & print lyrics & chords: Move It Around, Circulate PDF 1) The circulatory system transports the needed materials Of oxygen and nutrients to each of the body’s cells And takes away carbon dioxide and other cell waste So that a body may get rid of the things it does not need
2) There are three parts to this system moving materials around Blood vessels serve as the channels, the heart as a pump And the blood is what is sent out to carry things throughout Through arteries, capillaries, and then back through the veins
(chorus) Move it around, circulate This movement of blood throughout the body Helps transport needed materials to the cells so they may thrive And let a body function properly through all its life.
3) It’s the heart that pumps blood all around As this muscle contracts and relaxes But first the blood must follow a path through chambers in the heart First, blood that comes back through the veins Pumps through right atrium and ventricle To the pulmonary arteries which take it away to the lungs
4) In the lungs carbon dioxide is exchanged for oxygen Then this blood returns to the heart by the pulmonary veins The left atrium and ventricle send it out to arteries Which take this oxygen-rich blood to all parts of the body.
