CIRCULATORY RAP Lyrics Chorus Taking blood from the heart to the cells and back Dealing with all things vascular and cardiac Capillaries, arteries, and veins All I’m saying is circulation is the name of the game Verse I Now let me start from the heart, ’cause that seems smart It’s not hard to see that it’s the most important part The first step is to gather up oxygen Sends blood to the lungs, back to the heart again Next up, we’ll talk about the arteries They take blood from the heart to where it’s gotta be The biggest artery, the main transporter Right next to the heart, it’s called the aorta Chorus Verse II From the arteries into the capillaries All your organs and muscles become the beneficiaries Of all the oxygen and nutrients they bring through Very tiny vessels inside the body tissue And now the oxygen’s gone But first we have some carbon dioxide waste to take on Then it’s into the veins, and back to the heart again And let the whole cycle start again
