What is the job of the Circulatory System? The Circulatory System is responsible for transporting materials throughout the entire body. It transports nutrients‚ water‚ and oxygen to your billions of body cells and carries away wastes such as carbon dioxide that body cells produce. It is an amazing highway that travels through your entire body connecting all your body cells. Parts of the Circulatory System The circulatory System is divided into three major parts: 1. The Heart 2. The

1. Within the circulatory system the liver has a unique anatomic location in that it effectively filters all blood coming from the intestinal tract by way of the portal vein before it is pumped to the general circulation. The liver often sees drugs at their highest concentrations‚ since it is the first organ perfused by blood containing the drug after absorption from the intestinal tract. Approximately 10-15% of total blood volume can be presented to the liver at any given time. The entire absorbed

About the circulatory system The circulatory system is an organ system; the main purpose of the circulatory system is to deliver nutrients such as amino acids and electrolytes. Move gases‚ hormones‚ blood cells‚ etc to and from cells in the body to fight diseases. Lastly it removes waste products. What helps to control the flow of the blood around the body are the vessels and muscles made up of the circulatory system. This process is called circulation. The heart‚ arteries‚ capillaries and veins

The heart and blood are the transport system in the body. This assignment looks at the structure and function of the circulatory system and also includes a diagram of the circulatory system. The heart is a hollow muscular organ which acts as a pump‚ located in the chest and lies left behind the sternum.’ Blood vessels also transport blood throughout the body’ (Wikipedia). There are 3 major types of vessels which will be discussed later in the assignment. The blood is a main component of the body

The human circulatory system includes the heart‚ blood vessels‚ and the blood. The circulatory system in humans is also known as the cardiovascular system. The main parts of the plant circulatory system are xylem and phloem. Humans and plants rely on their circulatory system a great deal. Plants and humans rely on their circulatory system to supply the body or plant with nutrients‚ humans to transport oxygen throughout the body‚ and plants to carry carbon dioxide throughout the body. The circulatory

closed circulatory system of some mollusks and all higher invertebrates and the vertebrates is a much more efficient system. Here blood is pumped through a closed system of arteries‚ veins‚ and capillaries. Capillaries surround the organs‚ making sure that all cells have an equal opportunity for nourishment and removal of their waste products. However‚ even closed circulatory systems differ as we move further up the evolutionary tree. One of the simplest types of closed circulatory systems is found
