What produces and maintains blood pressure in the circulatory system?
The autonomic nervous system regulates the heart rate and the diameter of the arteries. This is what determines blood pressure.
What is the difference between a crayfish circulatory system and a humans circulatory system?
A crayfish has an open circulatory system while humans have a closed circulatory system. "Closed" means that we have true blood vessels that carry blood to and from the heart. "Open" means that the organs are simply bathed in blood that freely circulates around the body. Sometimes the heart can move the "blood" by creating pressure waves in the fluid.
Does a salmon have an open circulatory system?
No. All vertebrates have a closed circulatory system. Arthropods and molluskshave an open circulatory system.
How do Nematodes circulatory system work?
They don't have any circulatory system; fluids are dispersed into the pseudocoelom.
In which part of the circulatory system does the greatest pressure drop occur?
The greatest pressure drop in the circulatory system occurs in the arterioles. Arterioles are small, muscular blood vessels that regulate blood flow and control blood pressure. As blood travels from the arteries to the capillaries, the arterioles cause a significant decrease in pressure to ensure proper exchange of nutrients and waste between the blood and tissues.
What organs apply applies pressure to the circulatory system?
The heart is the organ that applies pressure to the circulatory system.
A circulatory system that keeps blood confined within vessels after leaving the heart is referred to as?
closed circulatory system
What type of circulatory system do animals that use lungs for breathing have?
A circulatory system that involves the lungs is referred to as a double circulatory system. This is opposed to a single loop circulation that fishes have.
Which of the following circulatory system diseases is also referred to as hypertension A Stroke B Atherosclerosis C High blood pressure D Heart attack?
C. High blood pressure
What is the disadvantage of a single circulatory system?
The need for a powerful heart and greater energy expenditure are both disadvantages of a closed circulatory system. Even with its disadvantages, a closed circulatory system is much more efficient than an open one.
What organ system does high blood pressure affect?
Circulatory system :)
What helps regulate blood pressure metabolism and reproduction?
The endocrine system are glands that releases hormones into the circulatory system. The circulatory system then carries them into the organs. It regulates blood pressure, metabolism, and reproduction.
The pumping organ of the circulatory system is the?
The pumping organ of the circulatory system is the heart. It generates the pressure to move blood through the circulation.
What does having a high blood pressure have to do with the circulatory system?
yes it is
What type of circulatory system does phylum arthropoda have?
close circulatory system
Heart chamber contracts with most force?
The left ventricle. This is because it has to contract against the highest resistance, aortic pressure and systemic vascular resistance. Systolic pressure is pumping he blood from the left ventricle into the rest of the human body. It takes a lot of force to get blood to go through your circulatory system.
Which function does the circulatory system share with the heart?
The circulatory system and the heart work together to maintain blood pressure within a normal range of values
