The cardiovascular system plays a vital role in circulating blood throughout the body to maintain human life. The system consists of a heart and blood vessels that help delivers blood containing oxygen and nutrients to the body organs and tissues for function. The heart is a muscular body organ located on the left side of a human chest. The heart has four chambers are known as the right atrium‚ right ventricle‚ left atrium and the left ventricle. Blood travels through the four chambers by the heart

The circulatory‚ digestive and respiratory system are interrelated because although each of these systems have their own individual purposes. The digestive system takes the food that is eaten and breaks it down into smaller molecules that can be absorbed into the bloodstream. Cells can then use the molecules for their maintenance. The respiratory system takes in oxygen from the atmosphere and then passes it into the bloodstream in order for it to be delivered to all the cells in the body. The circulatory

Anatomy Cardiovascular System The Cardiovasuclar system is one of the most important systems in your body and it is also one of the largest systems in your body. This system consists of the heart‚ and a system of vessels called arteries‚ veins and capillaries. They are responsible for transporting‚ nutrients hormones‚ oxygen and waste throughout the body. All of these play an important part in this system and the system would fall apart if one wasn’t there. This system is is powered by the hardest

30‚ 2010 The Cardiovascular and Muscular Systems Organ system is a group of organs that work together to perform a certain task. Humans have a variety of systems due to the complexity of the species’ organism. The human body consists of biological systems‚ that consist of organs‚ that consist of tissues‚ that consist of cells and connective tissue. Although an organ has a specific function‚ organs also function as part of a group. The organ system is the organizational unit by which medicine

oxygen levels and light levels are all factors of this. Due to the cold temperature all the enzyme reactions work slower. The blobfish does share some similarities with other deep sea fish in the way the circulatory system moves the oxygen around the body. Fish have a single‚ closed circulatory system. This means that the blood is contained in vessels and only passes through the heart once in each circuit. The blood travels from the heart‚ to the gills and then around the body. The gills are where

The Circulatory system is an organ system that transports things around the body that are needed by cells. For example: Nutrients‚ such as: Oxygen‚ Food and Water. When Blood circulates around the body‚ it leaves the left ventricle of the Heart and travels to the Aorta (The largest artery in the Human body). The blood that leaves the Aorta is rich of oxygen then travels around the body in arteries‚ and to the organs. When the deoxygenated blood travels back to the lungs through a system of Veins

A shark’s heart is a two-chambered S-shaped tube‚ small in proportion to body size located in the head region o How does this animal’s circulatory system work? The blood is pumped by the heart through the afferent bronchial arteries to capillaries in the gills‚ where the blood is oxygenated). The blood then flows through efferent bronchial

The cardiovascular system consists of the heart‚ blood vessels‚ and blood. This system has three main functions: Transport of nutrients‚ oxygen‚ and hormones to cells throughout the body and removal of metabolic wastes (carbon dioxide‚ nitrogenous wastes). Atria: Ventricles: In a four-chambered heart‚ such as that in humans‚ there are two ventricles that operate in a double circulatory system: the right ventricle pumps blood into the pulmonary circulation to the lungs‚ and the left ventricle pumps

Closed circulatory system can be further divided into single circulatory system and double circulatory system (IvyRose Holistic‚ n.d.). It is a more advance circulatory system because the oxygenated and deoxygenated bloods are separated. Kangaroo falls into the closed double circulatory system as shown as in Figure XXX. The blood passes through the heart twice in double circulatory system and is circulated in two pathways that are pulmonary circulation

back to the heart so it can begin repeat its cycle. Having a closed circulatory system means that blood is traveling though veins‚ arteries‚ and capillaries. In a closed circulatory system blood is always flowing through vessels. In an open circulatory system blood is not always flowing through vessels. Some organs receive blood by “bathing” in blood that is dropped on them. The advantages of having a closed circulatory system are that it is more efficient because with the pressure it has thus blood
