Circulatory System

Bayani Gaba-gaba

Press a finger against the gum of a healthy goat and the pink returns almost at once. Do the same to a goat heavy with barber's pole worm and the gum stays pale, sometimes almost white, because there is barely enough blood left to colour it. That single check, used by herders across Nigeria long before it had a name, is a direct reading of the circulatory system: the blood, the heart that drives it, and the vessels that carry it to every living cell in the body.

In this lesson you will learn what blood is actually made of and what each component does, how the four-chambered heart works as a double pump, and why farm animals run a double circulation, one loop to the lungs and one loop to the body, rather than a single loop. You will finish able to read pale gums, a racing pulse or a bleeding wound the way an experienced stockman does: as signals from a system you now understand.

Takardar Darasi

A dealer in Jos buys a flock of sheep and notices, three weeks later, that several are weak, breathless after light exercise, and pale around the eyes and gums, though nothing external is wrong. What is failing is the circulatory system, the transport network of blood as the carrier fluid, the heart as the pump, and blood vessels as the pipes. Nothing an animal eats, breathes or fights off reaches its cells without passing through it, so a stockman who understands it reads trouble early.
