Possibly you mean the white blood cells. They are the cells in the blood that combat viruses.

What kind of circulatory system do bacteria have?

Bacteria do not have a circulatory system like humans. Instead, they rely on diffusion to transport nutrients and waste products across their cell membranes. This process is efficient for small, single-celled organisms without complex body structures.


Is there a spleen in the circulatory system?

Ok, I have no idea what you mean by that question. Technically, since blood flows to the spleen to keep it alive...then yes. But blood flows to every living cell in your body to keep it alive so...yeah. But is the spleen a part of the circulatory system? That is also a yes. It is part of the lymphatic system, not the cardiovascular system. The lymphatic system is a sub-system of the circulatory system that basically helps fight infection, recycle blood plasma, etc. Most people do not think of the lymphatic system as part of the circulatory system though (even though it is) and most use the words "circulatory" and "cardiovascular" interchangeably (even though they're not interchangeable). Seeing as the cardiovascular organs are the heart and blood vessels, if that is what you meant...then no it's not. Please be more specific with your questions.


Do multicellular organism have a circulatory system?

Large animals require a circulatory system so that they are able to efficiently distribute materials throughout their body. The circulatory system consists of the heart, blood vessels, blood, lymph, lymph vessels, and associated organs such as the thymus, spleen, and liver. Various functions include: transport of nutrients from the digestive system and storage depots to each cell, transport of oxygen from respiratory structures, transport of metabolic wastes from cells to excretory organs, transport of hormones, helps to maintain fluid balance, distribute metabolic heat, maintain the approprate pH and help defend against invading microorganisms.


What four body systems that are involved in getting oxygen to your cell?

The respiratory system helps to take in oxygen through breathing, the cardiovascular system transports the oxygen-rich blood to cells, the circulatory system distributes the oxygen to tissues, and the cellular system utilizes the oxygen for various metabolic processes within the cells.


How does the circulatory system use ATP?

The circulatory system uses ATP to power the contraction of the heart muscle for pumping blood throughout the body. ATP is required for the maintenance of the ion gradients necessary for muscle contraction and relaxation in the heart. Additionally, ATP is used for the active transport of ions across cell membranes to regulate blood pressure and flow.

Yes, the circulatory system can contain blood clots that form to stop bleeding from a damaged blood vessel. Proteins, such as antibodies and clotting factors, also circulate in the blood to help maintain homeostasis and fight infections.
