Blood is a liquid that flows inside every inch of your body through a network of tubes called your circulatory system. Your blood carries fuel, food and messages inside your body. It also provides defense and removes waste. Your blood visits every single cell, making deliveries and taking out the trash. Blood cells trade oxygen — fuel that turns food into energy — for carbon dioxide, which the body doesn’t use. CO2 is sent to the lungs, exhaled, and eaten by trees. Your circulatory system is powered by a powerful pump -- your heart!
The International Museum of Surgical Science, a division of the International College of Surgeons (ICS), maintains over 10,000 square feet of public galleries committed to the history of surgery, and an exquisite permanent collection of art and artifacts from the history of Medicine. The Museum supports its Mission through medically themed exhibitions and programs, in addition to a strong contemporary art exhibition program.
