You have five litres of blood in your circulatory system. It contains 3 litres of fluid and 2 litres of cells, including red blood cells. It is the dynamic system. From the proximal end of the capillaries fluid is leaked out to interstitial compartment. The same amount of fluid comes back through the distal end of the capillaries. This interstitial fluid comes in close contact with each and every body cell, that is living. You have 11 litres of interstitial fluid in your body. Little in talked about this fluid, which does the important job of supplying the oxygen and nutrients to the cells. On way back to the circulatory system ,this fluid takes back the carbon bi oxide and waste products of metabolism.
What else can I help you with?
Is your blood a respiratory system or the circulatory system?
circulatory system because blood flows through your veins
What system that flows a interstitial fluid?
--lymphatiC sYsTeM--
Circulatory system in which blood is not in vessels but spreads over organs?
This is known as an open circulatory system. In this system, hemolymph (a mix of blood and interstitial fluid) flows freely within the body cavity, bathing the organs directly. This type of system is found in invertebrates such as insects and some mollusks.
How much blood, on average, flows through an adult's circulatory system?
On average, an adult's circulatory system contains about 5 to 6 liters of blood.
What tissue Flows through the heart and blood vessels?
Connective tissue flows through the heart and blood vessels.
Do flys have blood?
Yes, flies have blood. Their circulatory system includes an open circulatory system where a fluid called hemolymph acts as both blood and interstitial fluid. Hemolymph is not contained within vessels like in humans but flows freely in the body cavity.
Is the bivalves circulatory system open or closed?
Bivalves have an open circulatory system, where blood flows freely within the body cavity instead of through a closed network of vessels. Oxygen and nutrients are distributed to the tissues as the blood bathes them directly.
What is the polar bear's circulatory system?
Polar bears have a closed circulatory system(like humans) this means thier blood flows through veins and ateries to diliver oxygen around the body
Does heart is a part of the circulatory system where blood flows?
no
When fluid bathes the cells it is called interstitial fluid when it flows through the lymphatic vessels it is called lymph?
Yes, interstitial fluid is the fluid that surrounds cells in the body's tissues, while lymph is the fluid that circulates through the lymphatic system. Lymph is derived from interstitial fluid that has entered the lymphatic vessels and is rich in immune cells and protein, playing a crucial role in immune response and fluid balance in the body.
Do mollusks have a closed circulatory system?
No, mollusks typically have an open circulatory system, where the blood flows around the body cavity and directly bathes the organs. This is in contrast to closed circulatory systems found in some other animals where the blood flows through vessels.
Do octopus snails oysters and sponges all have a closed circulatory system?
No, octopuses have a closed circulatory system, while snails, oysters, and sponges do not. Snails and oysters possess an open circulatory system, where blood flows freely through cavities. Sponges, on the other hand, lack a circulatory system entirely, relying on the movement of water through their porous bodies for nutrient and waste transport.
