Are Renal circulation and portal circulation different and why?
no
How does systemic circulation work?
systemic circulation - BETWEEN the heart and lungs
Which of the two paths of blood circulation is shorter?
the systemic systemic circulation
What is the movement of blood in the body?
The circulation of blood throughout the body is called systemic circulation. It excludes the circulation of blood to the lungs (pulmonary) but includes the portal circulation (between the gastrointestinal tract and the liver).
Transport in mammals generally involves absorption and?
circulation
What is the global ocean conveyor belt's scientific name?
thermohaline circulation
What is another name for the Great Ocean Conveyor Belt?
The Great Ocean Conveyor Belt is also called thermohaline circulation.
Why is the thermohaline circulation important?
Thermohaline circulation brings oxygen rich water to the deep ocean.
Surface ocean circulation is also called thermohaline circulation?
Thermohaline circulation is also called overturning circulation. It is driven by density. The time scale for thermohaine is 1000 years.
What causes thermohaline circulation?
The term thermohaline circulation ( THC ) refers to the part of the large-scale ocean circulation that is driven by global density gradients created by surface heat and freshwater fluxes
Thermohaline circulation is driven by changes in?
The thermohaline circulation is driven by surface heat (insolaration) and freshwater flows. These change the density of the ocean's water and gravity does the work.
What is the oceanic conveyor belt?
The global oceanic conveyor belt, is a unifying concept that connects the ocean's surface and thermohaline (deep mass) circulation regimes, transporting heat and salt on a planetary scale.
What is another name for thermohaline circulation?
Global Ocean Conveyor
What is another name for thermohaline current is?
Another name for thermohaline current is "conveyor belt," which some call this current of the ocean.
Another name for the thermohaline current is?
The thermohaline circulation is a term for the global density-driven circulation of the oceans. Derivation is from thermo- for heat and -haline for salt, which together determine the density of sea water
Did the gulf oil spill Shutdown the thermohaline circulation?
Yes look up lord sterling
What do you call deep ocean circulation driven largely by variations in water temperature and salinity?
thermohaline
