System
The human circulatory system consists of the blood vessels, muscles and organs that help control the blood flow of the blood and lymph around the body. It is collective composed of the cardiovascular system and the lymphatic system with the heart, arteries, capillaries and the veins of the blood being the main part. The circulatory system moves nutrients, gases, and wastes to and from cells.
It is called the circulatory system, because it involves the circulation of fluids in the body.
It is divided into three different parts
1: The Heart

Vessels
The blood is an amazing substance that is constantly flowing throws our bodies. Your blood is pumped by the heart. Your blood travels through thousands of miles of blood vessels right within your own body. A young person has about of a gallon of blood.
Sickle cell Anemia blocks a person’s blood flow, by making kind of a blood cell into a blade. All of the blades get stuck together in a blood vessel and other parts. It gets stuck there and stops the flow of the blood to other body parts. These disease tureens’ your skin and the whites of your eye to become dark yellow.

I was just reading. I learned that Josh was in a basketball meeting and he wanted to be chosen to play for all the match. When the coach was speaking to the whole team he was saying that they are going to play a match with a lot of passing and shooting. When the coach was speaking Josh was wondering when the coach was going to announce the people that are going to play. Then finally when the coach was going to announce the people, Josh's new mother came in and asked him when he was going to finish practice. That time Josh was going to die because he wanted the answers. The coach said finally you are going to play but when Magik comes you are going to be sub because Magik is at her grandma's funeral.

These are for 3 chapters
I was just reading with my mom in a book called Narnia. I just knew that they were sailing in a ship and inside the ship was a king giving a speech. The next day when he wanted to give another speech he was not there. Matt wanted to know how this happened. So that day Matt and his friends went flying on a eagle ad going to every house and looking in the houses if the king was there.
When they were flying the eagle saw a bunch of eagles stuck together. The eagle went to Matt and told him, "I'm going to tell you where the king is." Then they took him. When he was there in the castle the king wasn't there. Matt thought and he knew where he is in the boat. When Matt was there he saw the king getting smashed up from the eagles.

I was just reading that Percy had a nightmare about his friend running away from a shadow and saying have to warn the others. Then Percy woke up when his mom called him to wake up for school. His mom told Percy you are not going to camp because the camp is closed. Percy was almost going to faint.
When Percy went to his school the teacher told them to play a dodge-ball game. The teacher thought the people were human but they were really monsters from camp half blood...! When they finished the game Percy went to camp in a taxi cab but in it were monsters and they had three heads. They both shared the same one eye. Percy was so freaked out that he fainted.
