Yo, a place for me to draft.

The Body is the main setting of the Cells at Work! series and spinoffs. This page serves as an overview of how the world operate.

The Circulatory System
The objective of the Circulatory System it to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the cells throughout the body.

Red Blood Cells (RBC) are equipped with hemoglobin that allows them to carry oxygen. Upon delivering, they recieve a carbon dioxide package to deliver back to the lungs in exchange for more oxygen. They are also shown to deliver nutrients from the small intestines.

Blood Vessels
The blood vessels refer to the main pathways blood flows through. Though it mostly consist of RBC, other cells such as neutrophils, monocytes and platelets can be found doing rounds.


 * Vending Machines - Red Blood Cells rely on vending machines that dispense glucose for energy because they lack a mitochondria to produce their own energy.


 * Veins - Veins flow toward the heart. Venous valves are present to regulate a one-way. Route of deoxygenated blood.


 * Arteries - Arteries flow away from the heart into the body, it is the path of oxygenated blood. They are marked by red arcs throughout the path.


 * Capillaries - Capillaries are very narrow pathways where exchanges can occur. They appear as very narrow alleyways.

Heart
The heart pumps blood throughout the body. Blood pressure dictates how fast blood travels through the body. It is portrayed as a large shrine.


 * Pulmonary Circulation - Refers to the path of blood from right ventricle to the left atrium. In this cycle, they drop their CO2 in exchange for O2 in the lung alveoli capillaries. RBCs are asked to fold their carts and hold their CO2 by hand during this in order to relieve congestion.


 * Systematic Circulation - Refers to the path of blood from the left ventricle, the aorta, to the addressee with whom they exchange O2 with CO2 and other waste materials with, the veins, the vena cavae, and back into the right atrium. RBC are allowed to use their carts at this part and the aorta serves as a fast lane from the heart toward the body.

The Digestive System
The purpose of the digestive system is to breakdown food that has been eaten into nutrients that cells can use.

Stomach
Stomach - breaks down food into simpler particles via Hydrochloric acid. Portrayed as a volcanic pit that cells cannot enter, only observe. This is the area Eisonophil

Intestines
The intestines are said to house over a hundred trillion bacteria. These bacteria can be segregated into three main factions: harmful, helpful and opportunistic.

Small Intestine - long part of the body where most of the digestion process happens. Cells prepare the nutrients (food) for cells, which are delivered by RBCs.

Large Intestine - Where the finals stages of digestion happen, it absorbs the water of undigested materials before excretion. This is portrayed as a giant aquarium that most cells cannot permeate through.

The Integumentary System (Skin)
The skin is the outer coverage of the body. It serves as protection of the outside world and includes several blood vessels.

Skin
This is the common area of the body wherein several RBC, Neutrophils, platelets and Normal cells can be found. The ground serves as epithelial tissue. Damages to this area are usually fixed by platelets. Deeper wounds may cause bleeding, wherein blood cells to be forcefully brought out of the body.
