How does the heart receive nourishment?
Heart tissue, as with any other cell in the body, gets its nutrients through the blood stream. The blood plasma holds nutrients, which diffuse into the cells through the cellular membrane, and erythrocytes supply oxygen to the cells.Question:The circulation that connects your heart, organs, and tissues and supplies oxygen to them is what?Systemic circulation
What type of blood does the coronary artery deliver to the heart?
The coronary artery delivers oxygenated blood to the heart. The coronary arteries supply the heart muscle with oxygen and nutrients.
How does the blood transport nutrients to the different parts of the body?
Your heart pumps the blood to all parts of the body through the arterial system. There are progressively smaller and smaller branches of the arteries to supply the oxygen and nutrients to all the cells of the body. It will be very interesting to visualize the three dimensional view of the micro-circulation.
How is the heart assured of a supply of blood?
The heart is made up of an intricate web of blood vessels (coronary arteries) that ensure an adequate supply of blood rich in oxygen and nutrients.
How are Heart Attack and Stroke similar?
They are both blockages in the arteries that supply oxygen and nutrients to the tissues, that ultimately cause irreversible damage to either the heart or brain.
What is one reason for the change in wound healing time in a diabetic is that?
Poor circulation reduces the supply of nutrients and oxygen to the cells.
What is the type of circulation that provides blood to the heart?
The coronary circulation provides a blood supply to the muscle of the heart. It is considered part of the systemic circulation.

What are the three major circuits of blood flow?
Pulmonary circulation (between the heart and lungs) Systematic circulation (between the heart and the rest of the body) Coronary circulation (the heart's own blood supply/supply to cardiac tissue)
What is systemic circulation and what its function?
It's all the blood flow EXCEPT the pulmonary circulation (that is: the right side of the heart and the lungs). Its function is to supply blood to all the tissues of the body.
What is the function of the veins and capillaries?
Capillaries are considered separately from veins. They are the smallest vessels in the circulatory system. Exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide occur through them. Also wastes and nutrients.Veins carry deoxygenated blood from systemic circulation back to your heart. Capillaries are the small blood vessels that transfer blood between arteries and veins. The capillaries supply the cells with nutrients, fluids and oxygen. Capillaries also remove carbon dioxide.
Is The sole responsibility of the placenta is to supply the fetus with oxygen and nutrients?
False
What does the blood supply deliver?
oxygen and nutrients all over the body
What happen when a part of the brain does not get supply of oxygen and nutrients?
You are in danger of a stroke
How does an embryo get oxygen and nutrients from its mom?
A mammalian embryo gets oxygen and nutrients from it mother by means of the umbilical cord which extends the embryonic blood supply into the placenta embedded in the mothers womb. The blood supply in the placenta is close to that of the mother and oxygen and nutrients diffuse across from the mother to the baby. With egg laying animals the nutrients are supply to the embryo as the yolk part of the egg and oxygen is supplied by diffusion through the permeable shell and shell membrane
What is the difference between pulmonary circulation in systemic circulation?
The heart is two side-by-side pumps, each serving a separate blood circuit: - The blood vessels that carry blood to and from the lungs form the pulmonary circuit, which serves gas exchange. - The blood vessels that carry the functional blood supply to and from all body tissues constitute the systematic circuit. Pulmonary circuit - the right side of the heart is the pulmonary circuit pump. Blood returning from the body is relatively oxygen-poor and carbon dioxide-rich. It enters the right atrium and passes into the right ventricle, which pumps it to the lungs via the pulmonary trunk. In the lungs, the blood unloads carbon dioxide and picks up oxygen. The fresh oxygenated blood is carried by the pulmonary veins back to the left side of the heart (left atrium). NOTICE how unique this circulation is. Typically, we think of veins as vessels that carry blood that is relatively oxygen-poor to the heart and arteries as transporters of oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the rest of the body. Exactly the opposite condition exists in the pulmonary circuit. Systematic circuit - the left side of the heart is the systematic circuit pump. Freshly oxygenated blood leaving the lungs is returned to the left atrium and passes into the left ventricle which pumps it into the aorta. From there the blood is transported via smaller systemic arteries to the body tissues, where gases and nutrients are exchanged across the capillary walls. Then the blood once again loaded with carbon dioxide and depleted of oxygen, returns through the systemic veins to the right side of the heart, where it enters the right atrium through the superior and inferior venae cavae.

What organs does the systemic circulatory system NOT supply blood?
The systemic circulatory system doesn't deliver blood to the lungs because they are already well oxygenated and receive their other nutrients via the pulmonary circuit.
