Circulatory Zone

The Circulatory Zone

This Zone includes the heart, arterial, venous and lymphatic systems. The Circulation carries nourishing oxygen from the lungs to all parts of the body.It carries the carbon dioxide waste and other toxic metabolites from all parts of the body to lungs and kidneys for Elimination. It carries nutrients absorbed in mouth, stomach, and intestines throughout the body to produce the energy and tissues the make up the body. The Circulatory Zone carries the hormones released by the Glandular Zone. It is controlled and coordinated by the Nerve Zone. To be healthy, the Circulatory Zone requires proper and regular exercise. The lymphatic system is designed to gather the lymph fluids that leak out of the arteries and veins. It collects the debris in the lymph nodes, where white blood cells clean-up any debris and purify the lymph fluid, which is finally dumped back into the arterial-venous system. Since the Lymphatic system has no pump (like the heart), it is particularly dependent on the Muscular Zone to move the fluids around. Bed-ridden patients may develop bedsores due to the lack of movement in the lymphatic portion of the Circulatory Zone. This Zone is very susceptible to feelings of being blocked or stopped or frustrated in life by some person or situation.
